NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The coastal region of Virginia braced for a winter storm on Tuesday that could bring up to a foot of snow near the North Carolina border, which comes only a week after several inches of snowfall brought much of the area to a standstill.

The Virginia Department of Transportation put more than 350 pieces of equipment including salt trucks and snow plows in Hampton Roads in anticipation of the storm, and motorists were urged to stay off roads once the wintry weather hits. Concerts, community meetings and a minor league hockey game were among the events canceled or postponed due to the storm.
