The City of Alexandria and local courts have reopened today with regular operating hours after two days of closures due to snow.
The City’s SnowReport shows that all streets are at least passable and most are completely cleared.
Alexandria City Public Schools switched to asynchronous learning today. As commentors noted: this is likely because not all of Fairfax’s streets are cleared. Fairfax schools are closed today.
