The snow storm alternately known as “Snowquester” or “Winter Storm Saturn” will dump up to 8 inches of the heavy, wet snow on Arlington between this afternoon and early Thursday, according to forecasters.
Arlington County says it’s proceeding with a “full mobilization” of its snow-removal crews.
From Department of Environmental Services spokeswoman Shannon Whalen McDaniel:
Arlington County’s Department of Environmental Services is preparing today for a full mobilization to deal with the forecasted “[Winter] Storm Saturn.” The County will operate 46 of its trucks, and will secure six contract trucks or more as needed.
Staff are now hooking up equipment to the trucks in preparation for the storm, including plows, spreaders and chains. Starting at midnight, crews will begin working in 12-hour shifts (in compliance with safe practice standards) to treat and clear the streets. These shifts will continue through the storm and and extend into Thursday and Friday if necessary.
There are no current plans to haul or melt snow given the current forecast. This is subject to change depending on the storm.
Residents are encouraged to use the County’s online form to “Report a Snow Issue” 24 hours after the snow has stopped falling.
Stayed tuned to Facebook, Twitter, and Snow and Ice Central for updates about snow removal operations.
Earlier this year the county released a video about Arlington’s snow removal process and ordinances governing snow removal requirements for property owners.
