Good day Nelson County please be safe if you are traveling today. Check weather forecasts. Conditions are deteriorating quickly with blowing snow and icy roads. The best plan today is to stay home. However, if you must travel reduce speeds, do not use cruise control, and make sure you have a winter survival kit in your vehicle.
