Taken from Fairfax Braddock District Supervisor John Cook’s update, March 5, 2013:

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a winter storm watch, which is in effect until 12 a.m. March 7. A winter storm watch means there is a potential for significant snow accumulations that may impact travel. The NWS forecast says accumulations could be between 5 to 10 inches.

VDOT is responsible for plowing the public roads including interstate, primary, secondary and residential roads in Fairfax County. Roads will be plowed when there is a two inch accumulation, and clearing is done on a priority basis, with interstates and high volume roads cleared first. There are over 4,000 pieces of equipment ready to go in Northern Virginia to clear our roads. Remember to try to park in your driveways, and if you must park in the street, park on the odd numbered side if possible. Remember:
Check http://novasnowplowing.virginia.gov/ to see where the snow plows are in Northern Virginia.
