The past several years VDOT has treated roads with a liquid brine prior to the storm and have been very successful removing snow with this pre-treatment. But this snow fall was preceded by rain, which washes the pretreatment away. Further, the forecast Sat was 1 to 3 inches, Sunday it changed to 4 to 7 inches north and west of Richmond. Fredericksburg, where the backup happened, got 14 inches in places.
