Winter Weather Continues
County government opening at noon on Tuesday, January 7, 2025
(Stanardsville, VA)—The County of Greene is under a Winter Storm Warning until 1 a.m. Tuesday, January 7, 2025. The County received more than a half foot of snow and freezing rain on Monday, January 6, 2025, and is expected to receive between 1-3 inches for the remainder of the event. Temperatures are expected to remain in the low 20s overnight, creating refreeze conditions in the morning. As such, County government offices are scheduled to open at noon on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. A decision regarding the Solid Waste Transfer Station will be made by 8 a.m. on Tuesday morning and the website will be updated. Circuit Court will also open at noon and court will start at 12:30 p.m. with morning cases and those set for Monday, January 6, 2025, will be heard at that time.
Heavy wind gusts of up to 30 mph are also expected this evening, which increases the likelihood of power outages. Greene County Emergency Services asks the community to avoid all non-essential travel to allow roadways to be cleared efficiently. Bridges will freeze quicker than roadways, so extra caution is recommended. If you must travel, please drive slowly, and allow extra time to arrive at your destination.
PREPARATIONS:
Greene County has declared a local emergency and opened the Emergency Operations Center. Should there be power outages, the community is encouraged to shelter in place. In the event you are unable to shelter in place safely, contact the Emergency Operations Center at 434-985-5232 to find out what resources are available or report to the EMS building at 9825 Spotswood Trail in Stanardsville.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Thank you to Walmart in Ruckersville for dropping off snacks and drinks for our deputies working the Winter Storm. Walmart has always been a big supporter of our agency and we greatly appreciate them. It appears that Deputy Gibson has already claimed the box of doughnuts😁

Our units are out and about tonight , making sure the roads are safe. This includes primary and secondary roads. (Don’t try to take a back road, because we may just happen to be close by👮♂️). If you choose to drive impaired and get stopped, you will be arrested. We will leave you with this last piece of information. The judge is not back until Monday. This means you will have reservations, already booked, at the Central Va Regional Jail Bed and Breakfast.

It doesn’t matter what you drive. If you drive in Greene or through Greene, and don’t have a license, the results are expensive and you will receive a court date. This truck was stopped for failure to cover load. The driver also did not have a drivers license.
