Northern Virginia was into the snowiest winter since records have been kept before this current storm hit, which is bringing another 10 inches or so. Snow crews have been running just about 24-7 for a week now, and that is taking its toll on crew and equipment. DC has about 25% of their plows down needing maintenance. For an area that doesn't get this much snow, with 34 inches last week and another 10 this week, roofs are becoming a concern. A Smithsonian warehouse collapsed in Maryland. My parents street had been plowed once until last night, when farm equipment came through. Fortunately, there is an empty house on the street, which now has 10 feet of snow for most of the driveway and it isn't in the street anymore.

There is a lot of snow out there, stay safe.
