HCA ROAD STORM SERVICE UPDATE

From Blade Runners this afternoon:  "We are going to have an event much like we did on Saturday night.  The difference is that we have a good deal of residual salt on the ground.  It is our hope that this will take care of this event but it is hard to tell.  Our plan is to wait and see until tomorrow morning."  NOAA National Weather Service 2:00 p.m. forecast for Reston tonight:  "Snow showers likely, mainly before 8:00 p.m.  Cloudy during the early evening, then gradual clearing, with a low around 8F. Wind chill values as low as -3F.  West wind 11 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph.  Chance of precipitation is 70 percent.  New snow accumulation of less than 1/2 inch possible."
