Sorry for the Fox link. These poor souls have been stuck on 95 for 15+ hours and last night temperatures dipped into the teens. There really is no excuse for this, it looks like nothing was done to put down salt or move snow. We didn't get that much snow, even here in the mountains, so I would guess that's the cause. They're saying up to a foot of snow but the only headline I saw said 5-8 inches. I used to drive up and down 95 all winter from Northern Virginia to Richmond and the only time I saw anything like this was a February snowfall when the state claimed they had run out of road chemicals. And it wasn't this bad.

Read almost 24h ago that all of I-95 was completely shut down due to an accident caused by the snow - a tractor trailer having skidded sideways on the ice and blocked the entire roadway. Feeling sorry for motorists not just being able to get to their homes, but also being stuck overnight in a blizzard in unfamiliar parts of the state.
I dont know what the road status is currently but the weather doesn't sound like its let up much.
I saw that story, but all the other stories say there were numerous accidents. BTW, this was not a blizzard or anything close to it. The snow ended yesterday, the temps were very cold last night but are much warmer today. Most of this snow is melting off. Current weather for Frederickburg is light rain.
