Annandale buried in two feet of snow
Here’s the view from my front door. Looks like we won’t be able to go anywhere for days. Anyone seen any snow plows?

Very few plows on Columbia Pike compared to the December "blizzard." None seen on ANY backroads all Satuarday. A budget issue?
Just stumbled upon this blog. Nice job 🙂 I live in the Maplewood Community at the end of Americana Drive. We have yet to see any snow plows. My husband and I went out to CVS and saw some of the cul-de-sacs completely untouched and cars pretty much trapped behind the snow walls made after snow plows passed on Heritage (a main road).
Here's a link to VDOT. It doesn't expect to get to neighborhoods until Monday.

It is ridiculous that a plow has not been around each street once yet. I don't expect bare pavement plowing but I do think it creates a safety issue if roads are blocked completely. Broyhill Crest (at least my part of it) has yet to see a plow. I understand the main roads get priority but complete neglect of the rest of us can lead to dangerous situations. The 4 wheel drive vehicles cannot get out of here. God help us if we need an ambulance or firetruck. VDOT needs to rethink their approach slightly when we get upwards of a foot. I've been patient like they have asked but when safety is an issue, I only have so much of it.
