People in Virginia Be Prepared. Have your Winter Boots, Winter Jackets, Hats, Gloves, Scarfs and Ski Pants Ready. When you are Driving your Car Take your Time Driving your Car and Slow Down so you Don’t Get in the Car Accident. When you are Going for a walk Be Very Careful while you are Walking so you Don’t Slip and Fall.

How to be prepared in your home – Order your Pizzas and Chinese Food and Buy Cases of Pepsi and Coke. Do your Grocery shopping Don’t Wait until the Last Minute Do it Right Now.
