Williamsburg residents prepare for potential snowfall

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (WAVY) β€” Gov. Glenn Youngkin has declared a state of emergency ahead of potential winter weather. Β Β 

A wintry mix is possible for Hampton Roads Tuesday, and some snow accumulation is forecasted in Williamsburg.

Some residents in Williamsburg are gearing up for the possible weather.

Lucy Walters said the forecast isn’t going to stop her from showing up to play her ukulele outside of a Food Lion in Williamsburg. Β Β 

"Virginia is very unpredictable with the weather, but it's fun,” Walters said. Β 

Another resident, Denise Edlow, said she has everything she needs to bundle up and enjoy the weather from inside. Β Β 

"If it's going to snow, I'm looking forward to it," Edlow said. Β 

The snowfall in Hampton Roads likely won’t be as much as central and northern Virginia.Β This is why Dominion Energy spokesperson Cherise Newsome said they’re preparing to send Hampton Roads crews to other regions to help out. Β Β 

"They're going to be working around the clock, just like everybody else," Newsome said, "but they'll make sure that they are nearby so that they can respond as quickly as safely as possible."Β Β 

Meanwhile, a VDOT spokesperson told 10 On Your Side they have been pre-treating roads across the Hampton Roads district with brine to prepare for the weather.Β Β
