Where I lived didn't get much snow, but getting home was a complete bitch yesterday. My new job has me training up in Fairfax where Route 50 meets 123 and I have to take 123 all the way from there down to Woodbridge where my house is, and it took me over 2 hours to make that normally 35-40 minute drive yesterday. I was one of the lucky ones though, I got out like 10 minutes after the rain turned into a heavy snow and I was lucky to make it home, I was watching the news last night and people were stranded all over the DMV and there was plenty of power outages as usual.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this though but Prince William County's roads were so much better than Fairfax. In Fairfax the roads were slick as hell, I had no traction for the majority of the drive, and the salt trucks couldn't do anything because there were people driving right behind them as they were plowing and laying down salt. In PWC there was practically no snow on the roads though, it was all slush. I noticed an immediate improvement as I crossed the bridge on 123 from Fairfax to the PWC side.
