7:05 A.M.: The accident on I-66 East in Gainesville is still causing the eastbound left and right lanes to be closed. VDOT is advising drivers to take exit 40 onto James Madison Highway, then after going through the signal at the top of the ramp to re-enter I-66 East.

It's starting to come down with a little more force out there, so commuters trekking out this morning are in for a tough time. Case in point for Virginia: drivers out in Gainesville heading east on I-66 will find an accident (circa James Madison Highway, shortly before 29/Lee Highway) has closed the east and westbound lanes. We've also got a pair of accidents on I-95 in Dumfries -- one on I-95 North at 234, the other on I-95 South at State Route 619.
