Virginia Declares State of Emergency in Response to the Forcasted Winter Storm
Governor Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency, an action that authorizes state agencies to assist local governments in responding to a major winter storm that is expected to impact the Commonwealth through Sunday.
In declaring a state of emergency, the governor authorizes state agencies to identify and position resources for quick response anywhere they are needed in Virginia. This action does not apply to individuals or private businesses.
Governor McAuliffe urges Virginians to prepare for this major winter storm, which could dump up to two feet of snow in central and northern regions. Wind gusts of up to 50 mph, sleet and freezing rain could result in downed trees, power outages and blocked roads.
“Keeping Virginians safe in the event of severe weather is our top concern – that is why Virginia began preparing for severe winter weather yesterday by ordering more than 500 vehicles out to pretreat roads in Northern Virginia,” said Governor McAuliff

Virginia DOT Ready for Massive Winter Storm Anticipated to Have Severe Impacts This Week
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews are in full deployment mode for a statewide winter storm that is expected to bring heavy snow fall, including freezing rain, with the height of the storm to hit Friday.
“Crews are in 24-hour operations with a significant force of crew members, equipment and materials and we are continuing to treat roads with anti-icing materials in advance of the next storm,” said VDOT Commissioner Charlie Kilpatrick. “With a storm of this magnitude, driving conditions will be extremely hazardous. I urge motorists to plan ahead, monitor weather conditions and stay off the roads during the storm.”
Currently there are some slick road conditions in the southwestern and northern regions of Virginia. Motorists should watch for icy patches, particularly on bridges and overpasses.
Crews are treating roads with anti-icing materials.

CALTRANS and CHP Prepared for Upcoming Winter Fog Season
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) encourage motorists to prepare for fog and reduced-visibility driving conditions on local roads and highways throughout the Central Valley.
Driving in winter weather — snow, ice, hail, fog, wet and cold — creates a greater challenge for vehicles and drivers. Keeping your vehicle in good technical repair and reducing driving speeds reduces your overall chances for any mishap or disaster while driving.
The fog/winter driving season in the Central Valley typically begins during the month of November and continues through February. Tule fog accounts for more weather-related automotive casualties in California than any other weather condition.
To assist in slowing traffic speeds when visibility is less than 500 feet, the CHP will implement their Pace Program on major highways between Bakersfield and Modesto. Caltrans and the CHP want you to get to your
