Nearly a fortnight after a snowstorm shut down Alexandria, the city’s emergency services finished pretreating local roads just before the snow started to fall.
“In advance of the storm, T&ES completed pretreatment of roads and snow response operations were deployed at 7:00 a.m.,” Alexandria Transportation and Environmental Services said on Twitter. “Snow response operates for 24 hours through the duration of winter weather events and staff will continue to monitor the weather conditions as the event ensues.”
Locals are already reporting that the snow is starting to stick.

Snow has started in the Northern Virginia District! ❄️ Take a virtual tour via our traffic cameras from our southernmost District point (Russell Rd/Quantico South Gate) up to near the Mixing Bowl. It’s a great time to stay off the roads! pic.twitter.com/PXmXd2lwQ9
