If you can get on I-95 around Richmond, you will be better off than taking I-81. 81 has LOTS of mountains and tons of trucks south to Wytheville, where some of them take 77 We used to live in Roanoke, VA and I do believe that I heard somewhere that the stretch of 81 between Wytheville and Staunton is one of the worst for accidents, and I believe it. If you stick closer to the coast (I-95) instead of going inland (I-81) you might avoid some of the bad weather that can hit that time of year too. If you do take 81 and then 77 south, be extremely cautious coming down Fancy Gap Mountain. It has fog and bad weather when there isn't any anywhere else. It seems that areas along the coast don't have as bad weather as more inland. Have a safe trip!
