If you’re thinking of heading out for a drive in the snow, you may want to hold off on that unless you live on one of the city’s arterial roads.
The City of Alexandria’s SnowReport website provides a look at current roadway conditions around Alexandria during a snowstorm.
As of 10 a.m., the map shows that most major roads like King Street or Duke Street are cleared, though drivers are still warned to be cautious.
“Snow has been pushed to the sides of the street, leaving visible snow, or cleared down to blacktop, with running water visible,” the website said. “Streets are also treated with salt. Drivers should continue to use caution and expect icy spots and/or snow.”
Most of the residential streets, however, currently remain snow-covered, which the city’s website helpfully defines as “Street is covered with snow.”
#DYK that the City has a Snow Report tool that allows you to see the condition of the roads during a snow event? Try it out for yourself to get an idea of what your trip will be like before leaving your house. https://t.co/UJOuMQ9cvo pic.twitter.com/J6mO6QDHdG
