RICHMOND, Va. -- Thousands of Virginians were without power as they braced for the second ice storm to hit the Commonwealth in less than a week.
Most of the citizens without electricity are Southside Electric Cooperative customers in Dinwiddie County -- who have been without power since the first ice storm last weekend.
