Winter Storm Preparations

Our area is under a winter storm warning from the National Weather Service from 1:00 PM today until 7:00 PM on Thursday.  The temperature will generally remain in the mid-to-low 30s, heading into the mid-20s at night.  Please use caution when venturing out in the next few days. Below are some tips for staying safe during this storm:

  
General

* The snowfall predictions continue to vary, with anywhere from 1 to 4 inches being predicted for the region, but the general consensus is that the snow will be heavy and wet.  This is the kind of snowfall that tends to cause trees to fall and can do significant damage to power lines.  

* Be sure you have enough non-perishable food and clean drinking water in the event that the power outage lasts up to 48 to 72 hours. 

* Additionally, be sure you have enough batteries for flashlights and other battery-operated devices, as well as a first-aid kit available for emergencies.

* Be sure to fill up your gas tanks, as the winter conditions may make getting around very difficult for at least the next day or two.

* Be sure to stay at least 30 feet back from downed wires and report them to your electric providers.

* If you do use a generator, be sure to follow the safe operating procedures, and never operate a generator inside your home or in an enclosed space, such as a garage. If using portable or camp-type stoves or lanterns for cooking and lighting, ensure that the area is adequately ventilated.

* Additional Information is available on the Virginia Department of Emergency Management's website

Transportation

* VDOT has already begun to treat the major roads throughout the Commonwealth in preparation for the storm to try to make sure that the interstates and primary roads can be cleared quickly during and after the storm.

* We urge motorists to please try to avoid driving during the storm, as most accidents happen within the first 2 hours after a snow storm starts. To keep updated on road conditions, you can call 511, go to www.511virginia.org, or download the 511 mobile app.

* To keep up with the Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT) progress in plowing, please see the following
information packet, which provides information on VDOT's plan for snow removal, as well as contact numbers to check on their progress. You can also visit the following site to check on the general status of VDOT's plowing efforts.
