We haven’t seen a plow yet period.


Seriously? Contact your HOA to see what the deal is.

Not everybody lives in a place with an HOA. Some of us need to wait for VDOT.

DP but we don’t have an HOA. VDOT maintains our street. We have not seen a plow, and I cannot get my car out (I tried, and it’s AWD).

Don’t post here. Already a new thread aptly named “Snowstorm Next Weekend 2.0”

Once you chopped the top crust, the fluffy snow lifted easily underneath. There was no ice adhering to the concrete or asphalt. Our neighbor on the other hand, was using a pick ax because he had shoveled the snow yesterday and the skeet then froze directly on the concrete. Crazy storm.

How is this a question?

Seriously find your brain cells.

It snowed, it then iced, it iced again and the temp never went above freezing. Kids are not going back to school this week.

How is this a hard thing to understand?


Are you always this rude and angry? Or only on anonymous sites?

The people who are marveling at how they need a pickaxe to shovel their driveway need to find their brain cells too. What did they think was going to happen if they sat on their butts all day yesterday? You pay the price with a much harder job now. The lack of collective brainpower around here with snow is just nuts. It happens every winter people! This one is a bit atypical but if you paid any attention to the local news you would have known what to expect. Unfortunately schools will be closed longer than if it was a regular snow, because you can't make people travel to work in bad weather to clear it out and now it's all frozen over. Plan for your kids to be home for this week and do your part to clear walkways near your home.


Normally I would agree, but we shoveled 4 times yesterday and our driveway is still ice.


Same. We shoveled yesterday just as it turned over to sleet and again around 5 pm. Plow came through last night and left us with 1) a 2 ft tall wall of slush that became ice overnight and 2) about 2-3 feet of unplowed road between us and the plowed section.

That had to be chipped away before being removed. This storm was nasty no matter what you did.

I bet it's a thin layer though as opposed to an extremely heavy mass of frozen snow.
