As the weekend approaches, Arlington County could be at risk of another dusting of snow.
Local crews and their VDOT colleagues have been pretreating roads due to the snow potential Saturday. The recent low temperatures may create slick conditions, officials warn.
Any snow is forecast to arrive overnight tonight, and VDOT is warning drivers to do the following:
- If conditions are icy, avoid driving for safety. Otherwise, give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination and reduce speeds significantly.
- Continue to check weather forecasts. Pavement and air temperatures have been below freezing all week.
- Take it slow on bridges, ramps, and overpasses, and other known trouble spots.
- Ensure gas tanks and windshield wiper fluid tanks are full, and always use your headlights.
