SUFFOLK – The weekend forecast calls for lots of rain and a rain-snow mix across Hampton Roads.
VDOT says the trucks are ready to put down sand and salt on Interstates and primary roads when the snow begins. Officials say they’ll begin plowing in areas where snow reaches two inches.
Some people made a quick grocery run Friday afternoon.
"We're stocking up on fire logs and pizza," said Dick Barton.
"We're going to Rite Aid and a couple of other places to get some medication for families and elderly people who do not have the transportation and time to deal with weather and ice," added Thomas Beddingfield.
Northern and southwest Virginia and the Washington, DC areas are expecting to be slammed by the winter storm.
It’s already been a deadly day on the roads. Virginia State Police say a father and son were killed after being hit by a tractor-trailer.
They were trying to help someone who’d wrecked in snow on Interstate 81.
