With snow removal requiring a few days, VDOT said it is important that travelers avoid the roads to allow crews to clear paths more safely and effectively.

VDOT said crews are already working to treat areas in the western parts of the Commonwealth, and in areas where the storm is also expected, crews are set up to begin plowing and treating the roads when the weather warrants it.
