ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Did a plow truck wake you up at ten minutes to 2 this morning or was I just a lucky one? Nevertheless, I’m excited for our first measurable snow of the season.
10 p.m. measurement
The final measurement from Yardy for today – 7 3⁄4 inches. The backend of the storm gave us another inch and a half. This is the highest accumulation since the “Alexandria Mayor Stuck in Spain Storm” dumped 10 inches on us in 2022.
Schools and the federal government are closed again Tuesday.
1 p.m. measurement
The street was covered again when I woke up at 6¼ inches. It snowed for a good part of the morning, though lightly towards late morning. There may be some compaction.
And of course, as is tradition, I grilled in the first snow of the year:
7 a.m. measurement
Here in the West End, Seminary Valley, I measured 5¼ inches so far. More is expected throughout the day and I will update in the early afternoon.
I wish this happened on Friday, when I had a day off from work. Oh well, telework it is…

Don’t hate winter, use it
While it’s been suggested that “wind blasted frozen hellscape” is no way to live, I find lots of joys in winter activities. In particular, I enjoy skiing and broomball.

Can’t get enough winter sports?
Come out and play broomball! It’s like hockey without skates, played on a full rink.
The next season starts February 27 and will run on Tuesday nights into April.+l k
In addition to league play, I’m hoping the ongoing cold is enough for the C&O Canal to freeze over in parts. Sunday, January 21 might be the day for some pick-up broomball on the canal
