Winter weather makes travel difficult for Virginia drivers: 'Take it easy'
RICHMOND, Va. — Winter weather made travel quite tricky for Virginians on Tuesday.
Stranded on the side of the road is a situation Liam Gorman didn’t expect to be in Tuesday afternoon.
He got stuck in the wintry Richmond road conditions during his drive home.
“I just started slipping, like, my rear wheels started slipping a little,” Gorman said. “It wasn’t too fun. I started, like, drifting to the side a little bit, and then I just kind of pulled over.”
Lafaylafier Delonte also got caught up in similar conditions. He was headed home on the interstate from work in Williamsburg.
“I seen eight accidents. And hope, hope, you know, everybody made it back home. They got hurt. Too bad,” Delonte said. “I did like, 45 on the way back. And I’ll let people pass me a couple cars that pass. Man, like, look at them and a couple cars, that were riding fast wrecked.”
CBS 6 also spoke to Go Puff driver Anthony Brown. He delivers items to customers all over the region.
“It’s pretty slippery out there,” Brown said. “It’s hazardous getting in and out of neighborhoods, like my cars are four wheel drive so kind of like slipping a little.”
Brown said he decided to cut his day short and that the deteriorating road conditions were not worth the chance of getting into a crash.
“So trying to take it slow, to not go into the night, because, you know, it’s gonna freeze over tonight. So just trying to be safe,” Brown said.
State police said there were 700 accidents in Virginia due to the winter weather, which are statistics these drivers don’t want to part be of as they try to get home from work and work to do their part to stay off the roads the rest of Tuesday night. A
“Take it easy, going to the speed limit. Don’t do anything hectic, or try to make a risky move,” Brown said.
“I’m not going to rush to get nowhere. Wherever I’m going to be will be there. And life is nothing to play with,” Delonte said.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.
Bobcat Goldthwait was burning couches on camera before it was cool.
But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
