The National Weather Service has posted a wind chill advisory for all areas
of Virginia tonight.
Temperatures are expected to dip to 10 below zero in the far southwest...
and to the teens in the southeast.
Forecasters say the wind chill factor overnight will sink to around 30 below
zero.
That means big problems for the estimated one thousand people in Danville
without electricity.
And also for the more than 500 families without power in Pittsylvania
County.
Road conditions around the state are improving but frigid temperatures could
hamper the snow removal effort.
