Prince George's County
Summary
A major storm is expected to drop 4 to 13 inches of snow plus up to a third of an inch of ice starting Saturday night. Public Works rolled out fixes after last year's problems — better salt for cold weather, fixed truck tracking, a dedicated 311 team, and loaders for cul-de-sacs.

Impact analysis
The county has roughly 34,000 tons of rock salt plus treated salt on hand; an open-ended heavy equipment contract is in place.
All county residents who depend on plowed roads, especially those on primary and secondary routes cleared first.
Residents on cul-de-sacs and residential streets may wait longer for full clearing, since primaries and secondaries are plowed first.
