The past several years VDOT has treated roads with a liquid brine prior to the storm and have been very successful removing snow with this pre-treatment. But this snow fall was preceded by rain, which washes the pretreatment away. Further, the forecast Sat was 1 to 3 inches, Sunday it changed to 4 to 7 inches north and west of Richmond. Fredericksburg, where the backup happened, got 14 inches in places. With the forecast changing as it was, my opinion is the Governor should have mobilized more resources, just in case what happened happened. The snow was wet and heavy and brought down numerous pine and cedar trees. Most rural roads where I live have had the trees cleared by chainsaw toting locals, and plowing done by Farmers with tractors. VDOT will get to it eventually. Also many have been without power for three days, the utilites should have been better prepared as well.
