The blizzard stopped more than 48 hours ago, but some Reston residents still can’t get started.

There is increasing frustration Tuesday among residents whose streets have not seen a single plow pass.

@VaDOTNOVA @VaDOT Bennington Hollow Lane in Reston STILL has not had a single pass done, all surrounding roads complete. can we get help?

@VaDOTNOVA Haven’t seen a plow since Friday. Just want to see one make one pass on Buckthorn Lane in Reston. Neighborhood #5. — NHL_Observer (@NHL_Observer) January 26, 2016

No plows, so the cul-de-sacs in Golf Course Square dug themselves out yesterday in a huge group effort. @RestonNow pic.twitter.com/vBYNQUj0iU

At least these residents were Tweeting to the responsible party — and in many cases VDOT answered. One frustrated resident was bringing the plight of her unplowed street to Newschannel8, Reston Association and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, among others.

The frustration, and, in some cases, confusion is nothing new after a snowfall like the nearly three feet that fell here over the weekend. While many streets in Reston are plowed by private contractors, some are VDOT streets. VDOT has priority system, with the most-traveled roads getting highest priority. Residential subdivisions, especially cul-de-sacs, are the lower priority.

VDOT says its goal after a storm is to clear all roads within 48 hours. VDOT’s interactive sites VirginiaPlows and 511iVrginia can show you when plows are in your area. Here is how to know who is responsible for your street in Reston:

Reston Association is not responsible. RA’s territory is RA property, such as the parking lots of Walker Nature Education Center and the pools. The association also plows the 55 miles of bike paths in Reston. Fairfax County is also not responsible for plowing.

Most Reston neighborhoods are part of cluster or homeowners’ associations. If this is you, you likely pay quarterly or monthly dues in addition to your annual Reston Association assessment. This is the case with most apartment and condo complexes, townhouse neighborhood and a number of single-family home subdivisions.

Part of your cluster dues go for snow removal with a private contractor. If you are concerned that the street has not been plowed, contact your cluster president. You should receive regular communication from the cluster via e-mail or flyer. Not sure which cluster you belong to or who is on the board? Start with RA’s neighborhood list.

If you are not in a cluster, then your street is likely plowed by VDOT

Reston Now has been contacted by several elderly residents asking if we could connect them with someone strong who can help them shovel walk, steps and driveways.

Here is the plight of one senior who wrote to Reston Now:

Not a tip but a plea, if you will. I am a 70+ y/o senior citizen in Reston need help getting some help getting my car dug out. Don’t know any entrepreneurial young people so I called 211 where a pleasant person offered a farfax county senior services phone number that is not in service. She also mentioned I might contact a local church to see if they are organizing any volunteer efforts (I called 2.)

I called Herndon Senior Center also and of course all of these organizations were closed due to the storm. I also went online and contacted half- dozen or so services listed under local snow removal on “Angies List” and I still have not been contacted back.

None of this is surprising to be sure given the snow emergency and I am not at an  immediate risk. I am willing to pay.

If you can help (not sure which neighborhood) email [email protected] and we will put you in touch.

Surely there are some people — even some enterprising teens — who will be out with their shovels today.

If you need help or you are offering help, tell us in the comments below. Let us know which category you fall in, what neighborhood you live in and contact info. If you need to be paid or are willing to pay, we will let you work it out offline.

You can put responses here or in the comments on the comments section on Reston Now’s Facebook page.

On Sunday, the snow stopped, the sun came out and the cleanup began.

Monday will also be a work in progress as Reston and the entire Washington, D.C.. area tries to get back to business after the two-day blizzard. Reston received nearly 30 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

Here is some news to know this morning.

Fairfax County Public Schools and Government are closed.

Reston Association is closed.

The Federal Government is closed with most employees teleworking.

Metro is running a very limited schedule with no Silver Line service as above-ground stations are closed. Trains will run every 20 to 25 minutes on these routes:

• Orange Line: Ballston to Eastern Market only
• Red Line: Medical Center to Union Station only
• Green Line: Fort Totten to Anacostia only

Fairfax Connector bus service will be operating with limited service on a Sunday schedule with buses running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be changes to some Reston routes, including:

Have you been able to dig your car out? Is your street passable? Do you have four-wheel drive?

If so, Reston Hospital Center could use your help during the next few days in order to get personnel to work at the hospital.

Many staffers will be unable to get to work, where they are critically needed, until there is more plowing progress in the area.

From RHC’s Facebook page:

Reston Hospital Center is still in need of volunteer drivers to help transport critical staff and personnel to the hospital. If you or anyone you know is able to help, please contact us in a private Facebook message.

The team at Reston is beyond grateful for the amazing community members who’ve reached out to help already.

To qualify, you must be a licensed driver with a registered four-wheel-drive vehicle and be 21 years of age or older.

Happy Sunday! How did you weather the storm?

The serious snow stopped in Reston about 11 p.m. Saturday. That means about 35 hours of heavy snowfall for a total of about 28 inches in the Reston area, according to National Weather Service spotters.

Now comes the big dig-out, which could take awhile.

The Virginia’s Department of Transportation (VDOT) is urging all motorists to stay off the roads Sunday so streets can be adequately plowed.

VDOT says most interstates and primary routes in “minor to moderate condition,” many side roads are still completely covered in snow and ice.

“Even though the snow has stopped and dry weather is on the horizon, snow removal will be very extensive through the week,” VDOT said in a statement Sunday morning.

Want to know where VDOT’s plows are? Check the agency’s Virginia 511 site for real-time maps.

Who plows your street?

Here is how it works in Reston. The main roads — Reston Parkway, Sunrise Valley Drive, Sunset Hills Road and Wiehle Avenue, for instance — are plowed by VDOT.

Some residential streets — generally those not in a cluster or association — are also plowed by VDOT, but are low priority until the main roads are clear.

Most Reston homes are in a cluster or association. Your cluster or association dues cover snowplowing by a private contractor. If you are wondering about a plowing timetable, contact your cluster president or management association.

Reston Association is only responsible for plowing RA’s 55 miles of paths. RA’s path plows will be out in force today.

Neither RA nor VDOT is responsible for sidewalks. Sidewalks in a cluster are residents’ responsibility, so if you are shoveling, take a pass in the area in front of your home to help the neighborhood.

Sidewalks on a main street are a trickier issue — kind of a “no-man’s land” and have historically been a problem in Reston following big storms.

Metro will remain closed on Sunday. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority says both Reagan National and Dulles International Airports will likely be closed all day as well. Check with your airline if you have travel plans as many airlines are already canceling Monday flights as well.

Heading out to shovel? Here are some reminders about shoveling safety from WTOP.

Want to go sledding? Modern Reston has some good spots for you.

Reston Now will keep you updated on street conditions, as well as cancelations and closings.

So you didn’t stay up last night and watch the storm come in? Here is what it looked like at Parc Reston near Reston Town Center.

Film professional Evan Luzi set up this time-release camera to show what 12 hours of a serious storm looks like.

Video by Evan Luzi via Twitter.

As of noon Saturday, many Restonians were measuring snowfall at about 20 inches. But the storm is far from over.

The National Weather Service says to expect intervals of heavy snow to continue Saturday afternoon. The NWS also says drifting will continue to be a problem and warns residents not to attempt to travel.

Several snow plows were seen stuck in Reston Saturday morning.

The NWS has increased the snowfall amounts expected for the area. The Reston area should see closer three feet rather than two feet as the snow is expected to continue through at least Saturday night.

The Blizzard Warning remains in effect through Sunday at 6 a.m.

Reston woke up to 18 inches of snow Saturday morning, which made for an eerie, snow-covered Reston Town Center.

Reston resident Don Renner took some of these shots as RTC came back to life about 10 a.m. Grounds crews have been busy clearing streets and sidewalks.

Many stores and restaurants are closed, but a few — including Barcelona, bartaco and Tavern 64 — say they will be open today. Call ahead if you are thinking of skiing over.

Meanwhile, another foot of snow is expected to fall by Sunday morning.

Fairfax County Fire and Rescue crews were called to a partially frozen lake to make a rescue just as the storm picked up Friday night. The citizen in peril was a large dog that had fallen through the ice.

The rescue happened on the other side of the county in Fairfax Station, but we’re posting it here to show the skills and heart of all Fairfax County Fire Rescue medics.

Milo, a Saint Bernard, walked out onto the ice at Woodglen Lake in Fairfax Station as his owners were tubing nearby, firefighters said. At the time of rescue the temperature was 21 degrees with a wind chill of 8 degrees and blowing snow.

When firefighters arrived, the found the dog about 30 feet from shore, so they formulated a rescue plan that included rescuers jumping into the icy water.

Fairfax County medics and firefighters routinely train for ice rescues. They can sometimes be seen on Reston’s lakes (if they are frozen) practicing drills.

The dog was rescued from the freezing pond and placed in the medic unit for drying and re-warming. After about 30 minutes, the dog and owners were taken home and warming efforts continued.

Firefighters said late Friday that the dog is doing well. After rewarming the dog appears healthy and in no distress, they said.

Check out video of the rescue on Fire Rescue’s Facebook page.

The Blizzard of 2016 is delivering what the forecasters said it would: heavy snow, strong drifts and empty streets at daybreak on Saturday.

Here’s an update:

Snow totals in Reston, measured by three residents, range from 15 to 18 inches as of 8 a.m.

18 inches measured away from bldgs and trees in south Reston at 8AM. @capitalweather @RestonNow pic.twitter.com/zWX7CI0Qae

What’s still on the way? The Capital Weather Gang says an ADDITIONAL 20 inches is expected to fall across the area 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday.

That would put the storm at over 30 inches, making it one of the biggest snowfalls in Washington-area history.

So far, Dominion Virginia Power is reporting fewer than a dozen customers in Fairfax County without power.

Want to venture out? Here are a couple of restaurants that said they would be open for the duration, but call ahead to make sure that is still the case:

Kalypso’s at Lake Anne Plaza; Barcelona, bartaco and McCormick & Schmicks at Reston Town Center; Red’s Table at South Lakes Village Center; and Tavern 64 at the Hyatt Regency Reston.

Fairfax County public safety officials are urging businesses to close for the day.

“We recognize the blizzard’s adverse impact on livelihoods, but we encourage businesses and other non-essential entities to remain CLOSED,” it tweeted Saturday morning.

The Virginia Department of Transportation is also urging people to stay off roads. Check out VDOT’s http://www.511virginia.org site to see live traffic cameras and the check which roads are passable.

Meanwhile, enjoy some photos from your neighbors. Keep sending us more through Twitter @RestonNow or on Reston Now’s Facebook.

Stay safe and stay warm!

Reston Now readers are witty folks. So let’s have some fun and give this giant snowstorm heading here a name.

The Weather Channel is calling it Jonas. The Washington Post, after asking for reader suggestions, is calling Snowzilla.

Past DC big deals have been the Knickerbocker blizzard of 1922, the Presidents’ Day snowstorm of ’79, Snowmageddon. But Jonas? That’s a name for your new baby, not the storm that swept Reston shelves of bread and toilet paper four days in advance.

Here are a few suggestions, so take our poll and/or suggest a name in the comments.

Stay warm, Reston.
