According to the U.S. National Weather Service Wakefield VA, the coastal town may see snowfall starting tomorrow. Officials are reminding residents and visitors to drive cautiously, stay alert, and avoid the roads if possible until plows have cleared them.

The department shared key safety tips, including reducing speed, maintaining control, and anticipating stops. Drivers are also reminded to remain sober behind the wheel and use anti-lock brakes effectively.
