We got about an inch of snow last night, and the entire nova/dc metro area roadways pretty much shut down. Back-ups for miles, several collisions occurring each minute, ice accumulating quickly...it was ridiculous, and all for 1 inch. VDOT is hit or miss each year, and it's always disconcerting.

No pre-treatment, no salt trucks, no insight on this one.

Tomorrow should really be a riot :hysterical:

2-3 inches here yesterday/last night. Low 20s. Warning up today, then they're calling for 8-12 inches between Friday evening and Sunday. SWMBO's threatening to go rent an apartment where it's warm next September.

Yeah, REC is sending out prognostications of outages. The OWB takes two loads of hickory a day in the worst weather. The generator provides power to get the heat into the house. 4x4 will make it down the drive but blowing it hastens the melt. Food and drink, we got some.

McAwful Declares SOE
The Virginia Department of Transportation has 4,000 trucks mobilizing Thursday, pre-treating ahead of the storm and staging along interstates, major roads and in subdivisions. VDOT and the governor say people should stay off the road before and during the storm, to allow crews the space they need to work.

Snowmageddon 2: Return of Snowpocalypse!

Seriously, we had a clipper come through last night. The media called it "the Inch of Doom". It dropped less than an inch and it was almost completely gone by morning. There were over 200 accidents reported in Prince William County allow and millions of dollars in property damage.

No wonder why people around here think 18 to 25 inches is the end of the world. Hardly anyone around here can survive an inch or two! SMH

You just have to ask yourself, is he telling you the truth based on knowledge and experience or spreading internet myths?

Makes me laugh to see the people buying 10 loaves of bread and mountains of toilet paper...

How much sandwich-eating and toilet-sitting do you expect to be doing the next two days?!

The essentials to be aware of are: beer, liquor, wine....hmmm, yeah, that about covers it!

I am just south of Columbus, OH, today. I'm catching the edge of what's getting y'all are getting. It's 19 degrees outside, my reefer is in heat mode (to warm it back up to 30), and my landing gear is near about froze. I had to fight that landing gear to make it move.

I might end up sitting all day, if snow really starts coming down.
