As the winter storm is starting to hit large parts of our area, please be smart! From a couple different sources, I have read anything from 5 to 10 inches of snow. But who really knows, right?
 

That being said, if you must be out during this event, please consider taking it slow and being cautious. Always be mindful of the road conditions in the city.
 

I have been receiving frequent updates from our City of Lynchburg, Virginia Government regarding road prep, weather forecasts, transportation services, and more. They do a good job of promoting those updates on their social media outlets, and you can find them here.
