A light accumulation of snow over east central Virginia resulted in slick conditions on untreated roads, especially in Prince George county. Multiple accidents occurred when a light coating of snow and ice made for difficult driving conditions on Route 156, on Middle, Courthouse and Heritage Roads, and on James River Drive. A sports-utility vehicle collided with a school bus on Courthouse Road, resulting in $4,000 worth of damage to the SUV. Fortunately, no students were on the bus at the time of the accident. Total snow accumulations were reported to be just a dusting to up to one inch.
