Residents and crews gear up for heavy snowfall expected Wednesday across Hampton Roads

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – Residents, road crews, and power crews in Hampton Roads are preparing for another round of possible snow.

Several inches of snowfall are expected across the region on Wednesday.

Norfolk resident Marc Odom took action upon hearing about the forecast, heading out to gather supplies for his family.

“Waterproof gloves— we learned that last time. Waterproof gloves, lots of socks, soups, hot chocolate, the whole deal— preparing for a few days, ideally,” Odom said.

A Norfolk man went to Taylor’s Do It Center looking for salt, but the store was sold out by late afternoon, according to keyholder Andrew Lopus.

“We sold five pallets; I think that’s about 250 bags, maybe a little bit more,” Lopus said.

Lopus said the store is expected to receive more bags of salt Tuesday afternoon.

“We’re just making sure we’re stocked and bringing enough supplies for when everybody comes,” Lopus added.

A spokesperson for the Virginia Department of Transportation confirmed that the department has been pre-treating roads across the region in preparation for the weather.

“Crews have also replenished materials, including salt, sand, and brine, since the last winter weather event to address the road impacts anticipated from the forecasted snowfall and freezing temperatures once the storm begins during the day on Wednesday,” a spokesperson said in an email to 10 On Your Side.

Cherise Newsome, a spokesperson for Dominion Energy, added that the company will have all hands on deck.

“Staff members who may typically be designing parts of the grid will become storm patrollers, helping with inventory and serving as scalps,” Newsome said.
