Lenah Run Home Owners Association

Dear Residents,

Forecast - 2″ of snow by this evenings rush hour, then a total of 12-20″ by tomorrow evening.

With a normal snow event 2-6″ we would concern ourselves with getting our client sites as passable and cleared for residents and emergency vehicles. Given the heavy amount of snow expected to continue tomorrow throughout the day, we will NOT be plowing until late morning in most communities, then again in the evening, once the storm is over.

In most instances, we are far ahead of the county. If you have a driveway or garage, I recommend that you use them so the plows can clear the lots/PAE easier. If you park in the Street then the contractors cannot access the street and will turn around and go to another street until all vehicles are out of the way! With that said, for those of you that have a cleared lot, PAE or streets this does not mean you should leave! STAY HOME!

I do not believe anyone (county or private contractor) will perform better for this storm then the last (they are all taxed), and based on that evidence, the roads tomorrow will be impassable for most vehicles.

There is also mention of rain and ice with this storm, which means there could be power outages again. Please consider tomorrow morning turning up your thermostat to 85 degrees, and “bank heat” in case you lose power. It would also help to close off rooms you do not use.  At Home Depot, they sell faux mantles with small gas fireplaces. These units look nice and can heat a small room.

Please be prepared again to stay home tonight, tomorrow, and perhaps even Thursday.

If you absolutely need to be at work tomorrow (Medical Doctors, etc), stay there tonight or for those that can afford to, consider staying at a hotel for a few days.

If you have backup generators please make sure you have plenty of fuel.

If you have a deck please clear them off. Several Decks have collapsed due to the weight of the snow. I would also recommend that ice cycles be removed from entryways so they do not fall and hit anyone. These big Ice cycles could land someone in the hospital if one hits them.

Please take caution, and make good decisions.

When calling the PMP answering service at 1-888-454-0673 please provide the operator with as much information as possible. Be aware that a PMP manager will not call you back unless we have questions! (Do not ask for a call back it may be impossible for the manager to do so.) PMP will be working with the contractors to work effectively and as efficiently as possible and having to call people back just takes too much time. Also, please be honest about the situation, many of the calls we received are truly false and that takes away from the people who really have an emergency!

Please pass this along to your neighbors! Thanks and be safe!

The Loundoun County Sheriff’s office is once again hosting a quarterly public safety meeting to be held at the Dulles South station on Loudoun County Parkway in South Riding on July 21 at 7:00 PM.  They will be discussing incidents that have occurred in the service area and will entertain any items or topics you would wish to discuss pertaining to safety.  If you do have topics that you would like discussed, please forward those in advance to Lt. Ed Leonard, edmond.leonard@loundoun.gov.  Since we are also trying to get a Neighborhood Watch Program started in our community, this would be a good opportunity for those interested to meet the sheriff’s personnel who patrol and protect our community.  Hope to see you there.

The pool will be closing at 6:30 PM on July 18 for the adult community event.

There are proposals to build a major 4-lane road called the Lenah Loop Road, 4-lanes on Route 50 and Braddock on the draft Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP).  Planning Commissioner Sandra Chaloux wants to meet with residents to explain the Transportation Plan and find out what you think.

Circa 2 weeks ago a boy’s black Mongoose ‘bmx’ bike was found in the trees just off the country path, fairly near the pool. It seemed a strange place for it to be. The bike was moved down to the edge of the path, still visible from its original location, in the hope that it’s owner, or others, would recognize it & claim it. No luck so far. If this bike belongs to your child you can collect it by following the wooded trail from the pool, in the general direction of the main entrance - the bike is located where the trail turns into concrete by the water overflow area. If these directions are unclear please ring Brian Spence for clarity (703-327-6999)
