Around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, freezing rain and sleet were falling in the Shenandoah Valley.

Roads were being treated by Virginia Department of Transportation crews. Motorists are advised not to drive unless it is necessary.

When driving in such conditions, motorists should allow extra time for their trip and leave plenty of room between vehicles on the roadway.

Many roads in the Valley experienced minor to moderate conditions throughout the night.

Motorists are reminded that ice and freezing rain conditions can still produce hazardous driving conditions, even when roads are treated. People should not drive unless absolutely necessary.

People who are driving in winter road conditions should use extra caution particularly on bridges, overpasses, curves, hills and ramps.
