Snowy roads lead to hundreds of Virginia and North Carolina crashes as Arctic air brings record cold
Snowy roads led to hundreds of crashes throughout Virginia and North Carolina, including a series of crashes on an interstate highway involving more than 50 vehicles. Officials continued to ask people to avoid travel on Thursday to allow crews to work on the roads. The North Carolina State Highway Patrol says it responded to nearly 1,200 collisions statewide on Wednesday. Virginia State Police reported early Thursday that there had been nearly 500 crashes statewide since the storm began, including at least 45 involving injuries. An Arctic air mass is bringing widespread, record-breaking cold to the central United States and forecasters expected some locations to experience their coldest temperatures on record this late in the season.
Some residents stranded in Southern California mountain communities by a huge snowfall could be stuck for another week. San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus' Friday estimate is an improvement in the outlook. The estimate has ranged up to two weeks. The sheriff attributes the change to the arrival of state assistance. A late-February blast of arctic air produced a rare blizzard east of Los Angeles in the San Bernardino Mountains. Thousands of people live at high elevations there in forest communities or visit for year-round recreation. Extraordinary snowfall buried homes and businesses. It overwhelmed the capability of snowplowing equipment geared toward ordinary storms.

Rain and snow is falling across Southern California while the northern half of the state has turned windy and frosty in the aftermath of the weather system. The California Highway Patrol escorted Interstate 5 traffic over Tejon Pass north Los Angeles early Monday due to snow. Chains are required for travel on several other Southern California mountain routes. The low-pressure system moved through Northern California on Sunday, leaving blustery and cold conditions in its wake. Across the state line, temperatures dipped below zero across parts of northern Nevada early Monday and Reno forecasters warn that lows Monday night into Tuesday could be the coldest some locations have seen in five to 10 years.
