The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has also issued an alert, and are preparing and treating roads for tonight’s snowfall. 

More from a VDOT release:

Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews in the 14-county Fredericksburg District are preparing for another winter storm.

Crews are currently pre-treating Interstate 95 and primary routes in the Fredericksburg area. Motorists should expect delays due to the slow moving vehicles that are applying a salt brine anti-icing solution. Anti-icing prevents ice from bonding to the pavement during inclement weather, which reduces the risk of hazardous travel conditions.

At 8 p.m. tonight crews will be mobilized throughout the district.

Once the snow begins, crews will continue to work around the clock in 12-hour shifts until conditions improve.

Motorists are encouraged to monitor news and weather reports for the latest forecast and road conditions. Before starting a trip, motorists can call 511, visit www.511Virginia.org, or use VDOT’s 511Virginia free mobile app to find real-time road conditions in any area of the state.

If traveling tonight VDOT offers the following winter weather driving tips: 
• Slow down and allow for extra time to reach your destination.
• Be aware of potentially icy areas such as bridges, ramps, curves and overpasses
• Keep a safe distance of at least five seconds behind other vehicles and trucks that are plowing the road. 
• Use extra caution on roads carrying less traffic, such as subdivision streets.
