In Virginia, Governor Terry McAuliffe also declared a state of emergency. He encouraged Virginians to prepare for the winter storm. The eastern part of state could get as much as a foot of snow.
“With this forecast in mind, all Virginians should take the necessary precautions now to ensure they are prepared for the travel disruptions, power outages and other threats to health and safety that could arise during this significant weather event,” said Gov. McAuliffe.
