    Got about five inches here in Locust Grove, VA (between Fredericksburg and Culpeper), but that was immediately followed by 1+ inch of ice. It remains so hard that snowblowers can't even do the job... it's backbreaking work with a metal spade!

    DANG! While that is a lot of snow, I sure hope it is JUST snow and that you do not get a bunch of ice after. Here in northern VA, we had snow followed by ice and very cold temps. It made it very difficult to shovel out. My wife and I can walk the backyard without breaking through the layer of ice on top of the snow it is that thick.

    Yep! Same up here in northern VA (Maurertown, VA). If it was just snow, it would be "alright". It is the ice that makes it rough. And the darn cold weather. Temps are too cold for the salt to work. It is gonna "warm up" a little this week - maybe it will melt some of it.

    Wait, what? We're practically neighbors! I live in south Stafford county, just north of Frederickburg!

    Speaking of which, we got snow, then sleet, then freezing rain. It all melted into a solid ice chunk that I call "Snowcrete". It's so bad. And my driveway is still an ice cube!

    Yeah, it's the worst that I've seen it since I moved here full time in 1995.

    Even when I lived in PA in my teenage years it never got this bad! I mean we got snow, but not this ice crap!

    I can't wait for this to melt. But they said it may be until March for it to melt completely!
