Winter Weather in Virginia
Winters in Virginia can mean snow or subfreezing temperatures, as well as strong winds or even ice or heavy rain storms. Winter weather can knock out heat, power and communications services to your home or office, sometimes for days at a time. Prepare for Winter Weather Make sure your home is well insulated and that you have weather stripping around your doors and window sills to keep the warm air inside. Familiarize yourself with the terms that are used to identify winter weather. Freezing Rain creates a coating of ice on roads and walkways. Sleet is rain that turns to ice pellets before reaching the ground, causing roads to freeze and become slippery. Winter Weather Advisory: cold, ice and snow are expected. Winter Storm Watch: severe weather, such as heavy snow or ice, is possible in the next day or two. Winter Storm Warning: severe winter conditions have begun or will begin very soon. Blizzard Warning: heavy snow and strong winds will produce a blinding snow, near zero visibility, deep drifts and life-threatening wind chill. Frost/Freeze Warning: below-freezing temperatures are expected. Thoroughly check and update your family's emergency supply kit before winter approaches. Include adequate clothing and blankets to keep you warm. If you have a car, fill the gas tank in case you have to leave. Plan to stay inside and make it on your own, at least for a period of time. If you have a wood burning fire place, consider storing wood to keep you warm if winter weather knocks out your heat. If you use a generator or space heater, practice proper safety procedures.
