❄🥶🌨This is NOT fear mongering or hype folks... This is science and facts so please take this information seriously and prepare accordingly🌨🥶❄
The winter storm arriving this weekend in many parts of the Commonwealth will be a level 4 out of 5 winter storm -- per NWS ratings. (see map)
Although snow totals will not rival the all-time greats for most localities, the perilous combination of snow, ice and bitter cold before, during and after the storm means it is likely to have serious and prolonged effects. The prospect of power outages in areas that receive heavy freezing rain (especially south and central Virginia) amid this cold weather could turn into a dangerous, life-threatening situation.
All of the snow and ice will accumulate as it falls and, with freezing temperatures lingering, it may not melt for a week or more. The resulting conglomeration of frozen precipitation will be difficult to remove, meaning it will take much longer than normal for the region to recover.
NOW is the time to start preparing for this event.
