Duty calls and the first snow of 2022 on Monday, Jan. 3, doesn’t stop the Town of Herndon’s Department of Public Works and the United States Postal Service.
Herndon and Reston saw between 4.5 and 5.9 inches of snow by the end of the storm, according to the National Weather Service. Chantilly and Centreville had between 6.6 and 8.1 inches of measured snow by the end of the storm.
The first snow of 2022 covers three Town Herndon historic structures located on Elden Street, the red well house at the 810 Elden Street residence (1916), the residence at 814 Elden Street (1870), and the bell tower and roof of the Gothic- style church built in the 1880s on the corner of Elden and Grace streets which used to be known as St. Timothy’s Episcopal and is now used as Masonic Lodge.
According to the Town of Herndon website, the Herndon Department of Public Works does not remove snow from residential or business sidewalks except to facilitate pedestrian travel on select major routes and schools. “Be a good neighbor and clear sidewalks adjacent to your business or home,” states the town website. “Please do not shovel snow into the streets or block storm drains or fire hydrants. Consider offering assistance to elderly or infirm neighbors.”
