RICHMOND, Va. β Thousands of households lost power across Virginia Monday as a winter storm swept across the state, though service has since been restored for many.
A Dominion Energy spokesperson said more outages are possible in the coming frigid days.
"With the lines, it's a couple things. It's wind, heavy wind, or getting a melt and a refreeze. So you get a heavy accumulation on the lines and if we were to see any serious accumulation on the lines, or tree limbs, nearby tree limbs that fall and break, that could also cause problems. So we are, you know, fully prepared for the worst, hoping for the best, but it's going to be a very cold 24 hours coming up," they said.
The spokesperson also said to ensure your electronics are charged in case you lose power.
In Central Virginia, snow fell consistently through most of the day, tapering off by the end of the night.
Tuesday morning will be very cold with temperatures in the teens to around 20. Some locations that have heavier snow cover could drop into the lower teens. Anything not treated will be icy. Tuesday will be mostly sunny with highs in the 30s.
