VDOT warns residents to “be prepared for a multi-day response to this storm.” VDOT’s top priority is interstates, followed by primary roads, high-volume secondary roads, and finally residential streets.

Road conditions are dangerous, so VDOT urges people to avoid driving unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Fairfax Connector is expected to operate on a regular schedule on Tuesday, although bus riders should expect delays.
