VDOT prepared for a winter storm -- and even spread gravel in some areas ahead of time. But so far in Roanoke, only rain and sleet have been coming down.
Eric Earnhart spent the morning in a soggy Roanoke County and has this report.

The precipitation came down overnight and it's still falling, but most of it didn't change over to snow, as expected.
