Weather forecast – Massive Blizzard is on its Way for Virginia on Friday January 22, 2016 and it will bring 30+ cm of Snow and it will Cause Blowing and Drifting Snow and Whiteout Conditions and Reduced Visibilities Especially in Charlottesville and Richmond Virginia and it will cause a lot of Snow Drifts and the Low Pressure System will Intensify off the East Coast of the United States that will bring A lot of Snow with Strong Northeast Winds.

Advice on travel during the storm – Streets, Roads, Highways and the Interstate Highways will be Snow Covered and the Driving will be Treacherous and Very Slippery Driving Conditions Especially on the Interstate Highways In Richmond and Charlottesville Virginia and the Surrounding Areas. 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. Have your iPads, iPods, Cell Phones, Laptops and Tablets Charged and have your 3G and 4G Internet Ready… Have your Furnaces Ready and Turn on the Furnaces to Keep the House Warm.
