VDOT News - Northern Virginia

• Crews continue to plow and treat roads as additional snow bands move through the area this evening. Drivers can expect that roads previously cleared or treated may again become snow-covered and slippery.
  
  
• Interstates and primary routes are mainly wet, although snow continues to recover as bands move through.
  
  
• With below-freezing temperatures in store, crews will work overnight to treat for icy conditions.
  
  
• Crews will continue to work around-the-clock to make 16,000 neighborhood streets passable over the next several days.

Info for Drivers and Residents:

• Plan ahead now for Monday commutes: delay trips or telework until sunrise and temperatures increase.

• If you absolutely must drive, check road conditions before leaving and drive for the conditions. Significantly reduce speeds and allow plenty of extra time for commutes.

• Drivers can check the status of their neighborhoods as well as see plows nearby at www.vdotplows.org.

• If shoveling snow, check out this video for some tips. Remember, the plow may push some snow back.
