Timeline:
- Friday afternoon – spotty snow showers, temps hover at freezing.
- Friday 6 pm–1 am – mix of snow & light freezing rain, quick glaze risk.
- Saturday sunrise – clearing, but anything wet flash-freezes to black ice.
What to watch: VDOT treats primary roads first; gravel driveways and parking lots stay hazardous longest.
Bottom line: A small event can still strand equipment and customers. Prep tonight, not Friday at 4 pm.
