Coming from Fluvanna this morning, Fluvanna main roads were pretty clear and passable...then into Albemarle County...BOOM, covered in bumpy ice and snow.. the same experience. Into Nelson we came and the roads looked GREAT! Nelson County and Fluvanna get a big thumbs up! Albemarle, two thumbs down! I agree Chuck.

I tried to go up to C'ville around 9:00 AM this morning -- Rt. 29 in Nelson County was as clear as could be. Once I crossed into Albemarle, it was an entirely different story: most of the first six miles had only one lane partly open, and both were semi-covered with compressed snow (read ice) and very bumpy. When I got as far as the Cove Creek store, I threw in the towel. I counted at least 21 abandoned vehicles, almost all of which were in Albemarle.

President Obama could not print enough money to pay me to get out there, even if I was spry enough to do it, and climb poles and mess with downed lines in the weather we had Saturday. Those men and women are the real community heros. Dominion Power, on the other hand, is still struggling, in spite of the fact that they made a much higher profit margin last year than Wal Mart. CVEC > all customers power on, and done at NO PROFIT WHATSOEVER. VA Power > Too big and profit minded to keep power on, and too powerful to refund outragrous profits made from customers who are struggling in a bad economy. Shame, shame!
