I95 Weather
Super fog, a mixture between smoke and moisture, caused traffic to be halted on Interstate 95 in Florida early Thursday. Visibility dropped to zero during the morning commute in Volusia County. Super fog may have caused the deadly I-95 pileup. Fog usually forms on clear, calm nights when air near the ground cools and becomes saturated with moisture. This fog can be dangerous for motorists on the highways and is a sign that something is wrong.
The snowfall in the region was light on Saturday, and will move quickly. Driving may be difficult during commutes in the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will drop below freezing, and roads left untreated could become black ice. While snow is not expected in large amounts, it will be enough to create a slippery road. The Interstate 95 corridor will be affected by the icy conditions and driving will become hazardous. The amount of snow expected is one to two inches, though higher amounts are possible in some areas.
After heavy snowfall, parts of I-95 in Fredericksburg were shut down. Heavy rain followed by wet snowfall caused trees to fall in the area. Fredericksburg crews had to navigate around fallen trees that were blocking roads. They could not access the scene for aerial reconnaissance because of the high winds and lack of resources. Many cars and trucks were left stranded in this area. In the days following, work crews worked to clear the roads.
Virginia motorists were stuck in their cars on Interstate 95 for 12 hour Monday night. Some drivers were without food and water. Due to heavy snowfall, some motorists left their cars running overnight. Others had to stop their cars in order to save fuel and wait for the rescue crews. The drivers spent a miserable night in their cars. Check out the Virginia Department of Transportation’s latest information on Interstate 95 weather.
The snowfall in Virginia caused a significant backup on Interstate 95. The weather in Virginia was cold, but thankfully no one was stuck on the road for too long. Plow trains were dispatched to clear the road, and a few cars were abandoned. Gov. Ralph Northam said there are no more motorists stuck on the interstate. As of Tuesday afternoon, there are no reports of any injuries or fatalities. Nevertheless, the snowstorm had a dramatic impact on traffic on the interstate.
On the other hand, the Virginia Department of Transportation said the highway should be open for traffic tomorrow, after the storm has passed. Road crews continue to remove abandoned vehicles from Interstate 95 in Fredericksburg. Virginia Governor. Ralph Northam declared a regional state of emergency. The winter storm is expected also to impact major metropolitan areas. In addition to Fredericksburg and Washington, the storm is expected to affect the Interstate 95 corridor.
