AAA recommends that residents stay home and off the roads. Robert Sinclair, of AAA, recommends that people have an emergency kit, check their tires and take it slow if the weather is bad.

"A vehicle can take up to nine times as long to stop in snow and ice, that means you need to slow down," says Sinclair.

AAA and Huntington officials say it's important for people to stay off the roads so crews can do their jobs.
