A light mist and freezing rain were the perfect ingredients to create icy roads across portions of Nelson County Friday morning. It also caused a two hour delay for schools. Tommy made mention this might happen in one of his earlier forecasts this week.
Slowly rising temps throughout the morning started making conditions improve.
Nelson County Public Schools (VA) will be operating on a two hour delayed scheduled today, Friday, January 8, 2016 due to icy roads.
VDOT is working with other emergency responders this morning on several incidents. Slow down and use caution. https://t.co/ck8y2Rlw8l
