I really hate this for us. 

The last ice storm I was alive for was the ‘98 one, and what I don’t get is, how can the power realistically be out for weeks when not only are there warmer days coming up, but a series of plain rain events?

Wouldn’t that melt the ice fairly quickly and make power restoration quicker?

Different type of outage than just a transformer blowing.  Poles and lines will be down and that takes a lot more time for repair

Roads don’t seem to be an issue from reports I’m getting. Is anyone else hearing anything different. I’ve heard from people in Ashland who had to drive and Mechanicsville.

Roads look ok but they also get heavy traffic.  Also won’t be able to really see it but wouldn’t risk going out anywhere.  It’s only just starting and getting worse

Yeah still early in this storm I'm in glen allen /295 

Car icy but treated sidewalk is fine.

Main roads fine of course could be that occasional  icy spot.

Side roads icy..

Trees look to be the main issue... some seem ok, others that had more snow pack are stating to be weighed down a bit..

To me, tonight when temp drops again are going to be the key timeframe before the warm up again tomorrow
