A brief blast of wintry weather caused slick driving conditions Tuesday morning in Albemarle County.

The scattered snow shower hit the area around Route 29 and Rio Road the hardest. The snow, which began around 9: 30 a.m., was heavy at times and stuck to the roads around Fashion Square mall.

Slick roads coupled with decreased visibility led to dangerous driving conditions for the tail end of the morning commute. Police responded to several minor fender benders in the area.

Flurries also fell around the Newsplex in downtown Charlottesville, but not enough to stick.

I am very confused. I see mostly dry pavement.

Oh my, more important than the topic at hand is the grammar lesson! Shall we Google Merriam-Webster? none-pronoun, singular or plural. Oh my! That would mean that were, in the context of this article is likely correct? More importantly, I am thankful that no one was injured and we all can wake up another day for another lesson!

A common misconception. "None were injured" is fine.
