ALEXANDRIA, VA-The Weather Channel reports that six inches of snow has fallen in Alexandria. Another one to three is in the forecast for later this evening. While major roads are passable, many residential streets are still covered.
Are you wondering when a snow plow will arrive at your address? This handy map on the city’s website will give you a good idea. Simply enter your street address.
The website also provides definitions of snow removal status for your convenience.
Roads Closed
Streets are accessible to emergency vehicles only. All other vehicles should stay off the roads, as conditions are unsafe for driving.
Snow covered
Street is covered with snow.
Passable
Street may have been plowed (possibly one lane only) but may have only been treated. Snowy or icy spots remain and the street will require additional plowing. Drivers should use caution and limit driving to essential trips.
Cleared
Snow has been pushed to the sides of the street, leaving visible snow, or cleared down to blacktop, with running water visible. Streets are also treated with salt. Drivers should continue to use caution and expect icy spots and/or snow.
The city asks for your help in clearing the fire hydrants on your street when shoveling. You can assist firefighters by clearing three feet of snow in each direction and by not parking within 15 feet of a hydrant.
