The Stafford County Board of Supervisors meeting that was canceled on January 21, due to inclement weather, will not be rescheduled.

It seems no matter what we do, snow wins! This latest snowfall, forecast to be 4-10 inches, was much closer to the minimum than the maximum. VDOT was prepared with over 4,000 vehicles to clear snow and treat the 17,000 miles of roads in Northern Virginia. VDOT provided us with a tool to track the snowplows and ascertain where the plows had been and would be going. You can search (after 2” of snow) by zip code or street or address.
That VDOT page has everything needed to declare war on snow. You can view the mobilization plan, road status and resources right on that page. There’s even a legend to help you identify the many graphics that determine road conditions. With VDOT boasting 4,000 pieces of equipment, we all feel confident that no matter what nature throws at us, we can handle it!
Two homes in the Sky Terrace subdivision in North Stafford were damaged overnight in a fire.
The blaze broke out at 2:52 a.m. at a home on Frazier Drive. The first fire crews on the scene saw flames on the first and second floors of the 2-story home. After everyone was evacuated, fire crews went inside to douse the blaze and brought it under control within 10 minutes, said Stafford fire and rescue Assistant Chief Mark Doyle.
Three teenagers are accused of breaking into a neighbor’s home and stealing several items. It took some work by police, and the mother of one suspect, to find out who was behind the break in, police said.

· Good morning Prince William – I have a very special request for volunteer drivers on Saturday mornings to give a lift to gentlemen living in and around the Winter Shelter in Woodbridge. It’s as simple as picking up 2 or 3 individuals and taking them to the Laundromat for 2 hours and giving them a ride back to the shelter with their clean clothes. This is a super easy, quick volunteer project. Please call Juan at (703) 583-7440 for more info. It’s just a little far and a lot cold for these gentlemen to walk there!
· BEACON Adult Literacy needs volunteer tutors at a couple of their sites.
