Snow removal operations will be continuous throughout today. Snow machine operators will continue to plow the road, remove piled snow from roadside with front-end loaders, and clear parking lots and overlooks. Also, several trees have fallen and some trees are so weighed down with wet snow that they are bent completely over blocking some areas of the road. Most likely Newfound Gap Road will remain closed for several days.
