[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect a swift fix to a major snowstorm from a state that, at this point, rarely gets major snowstorms. And people should have stayed off the roads.

But I do feel very bad for these people. What can they do? Can they call in the national guard or something? [/quote]

But at this point it isn't snow that's blocking things, right?  They just need to clear the traffic accidents?  I understand VA being less effective at plowing and treating roads, but why is it taking so long to clear the downed vehicles in the roadway? That makes no sense to me.[/quote]

There are multiple jackknifed tractor-trailers, which are difficult to clear in the best of conditions.  Add in snow and ice and the fact that the traffic in front of the accident isn't moving (because of snow and ice and another accident), so there is way less room to maneuver.  And the bad roads make it harder for the emergency vehicles to get through to assist.  [/quote]
