HCA ROAD STORM SERVICE UPDATE

UPDATE SUN JAN 24 PM ... The contractor Bobcat track loader was onsite late Sunday and working hard until almost midnight.  Looks like all HCA roadways are now mostly clear, including the Blocks 2 and 3 traffic loops.  What remains are major plaza snow piles that may last weeks or months, and some snow rows in front of parked cars to shovel out tomorrow.  North Shore Drive and other major roadways are mostly clear except for some narrow or missing right lanes.  NWS official total snowfall at Lake Anne was 29.0 inches for this January 22-23 storm and was reported to be only the eighth snowiest.  The January 2010 record still stands at 40.8 inches, followed by the 1996 record at 32.0 inches. 
 
UPDATE SUN JAN 24 AM ... The contractor was unable to fully plow HCA roads during the blizzard yesterday and plowing is not now possible within the rowhouse area of Block 2.  Their plan is to bring in a track loader to dig out and relocate the roadway snow today.
