When it all stopped, totals of snowfall in Virginia were reported to be between 13-33inches. Some variations will be seen in other areas, but it was difficult to measure with the drifts everywhere. The point of all of this is that truly I expected things to be much worse. On Sunday morning all of the roads were plowed here in Alexandria and driving was no problem. On Monday morning more salt was put down and some streets are now completely cleared down to the asphalt. Hats off to the workers who put in their time to make things safe for us. This city of Alexandria truly knows how to handle this weather. If you're looking to come here and find out for yourself, follow my guide below and check out the listings as well.
Last week all anyone could talk about was the winter storm of the millennium. In Northern Virginia the estimates of projected snowfall were almost cartoonish. The storm coming into the area was to have an impact on several states and this usually means shutting down function of the streets or highways.
On Friday the 22nd of January things in the office were quiet and people ended up leaving early to get home before the beginning of the ultimate snow storm. It was to begin about noon time and came almost exactly and hour later. The snowfall began then and continued until midnight on Saturday.
The interesting thing about this snow is that it was combined with an intense wind that didn't subside until the end of the snowfall. Only for about an hour was the snow thick and fluffy. For the most part it was just light and airy. It was consistent, though. It didn't stop falling for that whole time of a day and a half. It seemed interesting that it piled up as it did, being so light and seemingly tame. The worst thing about the storm during that period was the intense wind (23-43mph) that howled and whistled endlessly.
