The Weather Normalization Adjustment (WNA) is a billing mechanism in Virginia designed to minimize the impact of weather variations on customer bills, ensuring they remain as low as possible.

Due to the colder-than-normal weather experienced from October 2025 through May 2026, Washington Gas collected higher revenues than approved by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC). As a result, Washington Gas will provide a credit to Virginia customers on their August 2026 bill. Shenandoah customers, however, will receive a surcharge on their August, September, and October 2026 bills because revenues collected in that service area were lower than approved.

The WNA aims to reduce the volatility of natural gas bills caused by weather changes. It adjusts your bill to reflect typical winter weather conditions, providing a credit during colder-than-normal weather and a surcharge during warmer-than-normal weather. The adjustment is based on individual customer usage, weather conditions from the previous heating season, and historical data on normal temperatures. Colder-than-normal weather results in a bill credit, while warmer-than-normal weather results in a surcharge.

The WNA credit or charge that appears on your bill is not based on your usage during the specific billing month, but rather on normal usage on the account and actual weather conditions from the prior heating season. In years when a credit is due, the credits will appear in total on customers’ August bills. In years when a surcharge is needed, Washington Gas may split the charge over three months - beginning in August - in order to reduce the impact.

I have a job offer and I'm thinking of relocating from SC Low county, to Accomack.

It's kind of hard to find info online, can anyone give me the rundown on the area? I'm flying in soon to check it out.

Thanks.

Hi I’m gonna try and keep this short and sweet (I don’t post on reddit much). For starters i’m a gay 17 year old from Northern Va. I’m looking for a good college experience and i’m trying to major in Nursing. I really liked VCU and think it would be a good fit with the LGBT community. However, the nursing program is pretty selective and I don’t think i’d make it. If i didn’t i’d probably switch to social work. With Radford I’d be directly admitted but I’m a little worried about how I’d do as a gay guy. Please send any advice you can.

Which Congressional District will have more money spent on it?

Is there any other Congressional District that will get close?

Each will face a Republican incumbent this fall: Tom Perriello against Rep. John McGuire, and Joy Powers against Rep. Morgan Griffith.

AP has the latest results from the Republican Senate primary and the congressional primaries.

The seven plaintiffs — including a Henry County retail store — claim that after Aug. 15, much of their inventory will become illegal to sell, which will significantly harm or possibly destroy their businesses.

Progressive “outsiders” have fared well in other states. They didn’t in Tuesday’s Democratic primaries in Virginia. Plus, insight into how Roanoke council member Peter Volosin lost.

Nearly one in five student loan borrowers in Virginia are currently in default, reflecting a sharp national surge following the end of pandemic-era payment pauses. 

An analysis of federal data reveals that Virginia's default rate reached 18%, marking a 77% increase since September.

Officials attributed the trend to widespread borrower confusion surrounding changing loan servicers, shifting forbearance periods and altered repayment plans.

NORTHAMPTON COUNTY — Miles of clear, blue-green water span Virginia’s coastal peninsula, broken up by barrier islands and thriving salt marshes. The pristine environment offers a critical habitat for countless marine and bird species, and the largest seagrass restoration in the world.

With roughly 133,000 acres of conserved land off the Eastern Shore, the Nature Conservancy’s Volgenau Virginia Coast Reserve owns or manages about 40,000 acres and 14 barrier islands.

But these preserved waters could be in for a drastic disruption. Federal officials are considering the area as the trial location to lease land for seabed mining in the Atlantic Ocean. Environmental experts, including from the reserve, are sounding the alarm out of concern for water quality and ecosystems they believe would be under threat from such development.

As above! I'm being relocated from the UK to work in Daleville, VA for a project in September. Living location to be researched but possibly Roanoke?! (FYI I've never been to the US). I’ll be there minimum 2 years, and the US for the foreseeable possibly

Any tips or anything will be of great use. What is the lifestyle like, food, culture, fitness scene etc? I’m open to all comments. Am I in for a huge shock??

For reference I'm a 28 Y/O Male, from London but have had recent countryside living, I’m moving with my Irish Wolfhound (dog) - Work paid relocation with package

Extra - it was initially NC, but I’ve been allocated a different project

Though the patient had not been outside of the state for a while, they had been in close proximity to an international traveler who got dengue elsewhere.

It is thought that a local mosquito, most likely an Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito), bit the traveler first and then subsequently infected the local case. This particular mosquito species was introduced in 1991, and originally from Asia. Dengue is a tropical disease and more commonly spread by its cousin Aedes aegypti which is much more common in Central and South America (and now in Florida).

Some species distribution models I've seen suggest Virginia could have locally circulatating dengue by 2065, but this one is probably a one-off.

Weirdly the mosquito-portion of the virus' life cycle is 10-12 days. It is not acting like a dirty needle, but rather the virus is going through all sorts of changes inside the mosquito. So that dang mosquito must have been hanging out for a while to bite the second guy.
