When the forecast says “chance of snow” and Virginia hears “APOCALYPSE.” 😱
🏡 Stay home if you can. Give those plows room to work!
🌨️ Check the weather forecast often.
🚗 Clear snow/ice from your vehicle completely before driving.

If someone teases you about wearing a seatbelt, show them a picture of your family. Real Men #BuckleUp.

You're less likely to be hit if other drivers know what you plan to do. Always use your turn signal when changing lanes. #BeKind
