[quote=Anonymous]My sister in Fairfax is reporting the same as us here in Loudoun.

Our HOA neighborhood streets, which are plowed by a landscaping company, are pristine. The company made 3 passes on them that I know of. They have all common area sidewalks pristine and nicely salted. The HOA nasty-grams will start arriving today for all residents who haven't yet shoveled their sidewalks.

The streets outside of neighborhood that are maintained by VDOT are terrible. They are now packed down to solid sheets of ice from residents going in and out yesterday. I believe these roads are considered secondary roads by VDOT, so I would expect they should have gotten some attention yesterday or today, right? None so far.

The main roads in town are also pristine, but that's to be expected since VDOT focuses on main roads first.

But Loudoun is unique in that we have so many Western Loudoun dirt/gravel roads, which is what always causes our prolonged snow days. There are still people on the Western Loudoun fb group asking for help getting cars unstuck from ditches and trying to hire people to come plow for them. Like, bffr! This is not your first rodeo, guys. How do you live out there and not have plowing services already lined up? How do you live out there and expect to jump in your car Tuesday morning on roads that haven't been plowed and easily make it to a doctor's appointment? [/quote]
