As of 7 am Sunday: A moderate wintry mix continues. Danville received about a half inch to one inch of sleet overnight. Much of what was expected to fall as snow instead fell as sleet, leaving the initial snowfall largely covered in ice. Sleet and freezing rain are expected to continue through most of today and end this evening.

The Temporary Relief & Counseling Center (TRCC) at 625 Shelton St. is operating a 24-hour warming center for any resident or visitor in need of shelter. The House of Hope at 206 South Ridge St. will provide shelter from 5 pm to 7 am. The City of Danville is prepared to open a shelter if necessary.

The Danville Police Department says there have been no weather-related accidents. Residents and visitors should not travel unless necessary.

Public Works snowplow crews began clearing major thoroughfares after midnight. Primary streets are in fair condition, and crews have applied salt and sand to bridges and overpasses. Crews will continue focusing on main streets, bridges, and overpasses until the storm ends, with residential streets addressed no earlier than this evening.
