HCA ROAD STORM SERVICE UPDATE

From the NOAA National Weather Service this afternoon for Fairfax and Loudon Counties:  "Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from midnight tonight through noon Saturday. ... Snow and sleet accumulation of less than 1/2 inch with 1/10 inch ice glaze.  Periods of snow and sleet will overspread the region after midnight tonight then change to freezing rain before dawn Saturday morning.  Freezing rain will change to rain by noon Saturday. Hazardous travel is expected due to icy roads and walkways."  Because expected rain will melt the limited amount of snow and ice, and also wash away ice treatment, contractor Perfect Landscapes advised yesterday they do not plan to treat HCA streets during this storm.
