STATE POLICE NEWS RELEASE ON LATEST SNOW EVENT

"From midnight to 6 a.m. this morning, Virginia State Police responded to approximately 160 incidents, and over 40 crashes, in the current winter storm.

The breakdown is as follows:

Div 1 (Richmond) - VSP has responded to approximately 11 crashes
Div 2 (Culpeper) - VSP has responded to approximately 0 crashes
Div 3 (Appomattox) - VSP has responded to approximately 5 crashes
Div 4 (Wytheville) - VSP has responded to approximately 2 crashes
Div 5 (Chesapeake) - VSP has responded to approximately 22 crashes
Div 6 (Salem) - VSP has responded to approximately 3 crashes
Div 7 (NOVA) - VSP has responded to approximately 0 crashes

Virginia State Police has increased its presence on the roads to handle crashes in the winter weather. Virginia State Police continue to urge drivers not to drive during the storm. Staying off the roads provides more room for the Virginia Department of Transportation to make the roads passable.

If you must drive during the storm:

• Use headlights. Increasing your visibility helps you to avoid slick and dangerous spots on the road, as well as helps other drivers see you better.
• Slow your speed. Though state police works closely with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to identify problem areas on Virginia’s highways during a winter storm, drivers still must drive for conditions. Slowing your speed gives you more time to safely react and avoid a crash. Drive your vehicle based on your ability to properly maintain control of your vehicle.
• Don’t tailgate. You need increased stopping distance on slick road surfaces. Give yourself more space between vehicles traveling ahead of you to avoid rear end collisions.
• Buckle Up. Most crashes that occur during winter weather are caused by vehicles sliding into guardrails, off the road or other vehicles. Wearing your seat belt protects you from being thrown around the inside of your vehicle and suffering serious injury in a crash.
• Check Your Vehicle. Make sure your vehicle is in good working order for the conditions. Fill up the tank in advance. Check windshield wipers, windshield wiper fluid, tire tread, battery life, etc.
• Don’t leave home without a window scraper, blanket, bottled water, snack, cell phone charger and flashlight."

Piedmont Community Band braved the heat to provide patriotic tunes for the 4th. Thank you, it was wonderful!

Culpeper resident Roland Owens said he captured this storm video at exactly 9:27 p.m. on Sunday night from his home off of Korea Road, pointing southeast toward Rixeyville. "Lots of lightning and a cloud that seems to be on the ground," he said. The National Weather Service confirmed last night that an F1 tornado, with top speeds of 95 mph, landed in Rixeyville Sunday night, traveling nearly five miles, taking out dozens of trees, destroying outbuildings, barns, farm structures and other outdoor items. One local family is recovering after their tiny house was flipped upside-down by the tornado, with them in it. Thankfully only minor physical injuries! No homes were destroyed in the wild spring weather event!
