Since you are from Idaho, you should have No problem facing the winters in Virginai. Just make sure to bring thermals (try to avoid cotton thermals since cotton does not wick away the moisture rather it absorbs it thus keeping you wet) and make sure to bring a good trench coat and goloshes for your shoes. Check the Church distribution centers for good thermal underwear. Sweaters, gloves, and a scarf came in handy for me.
