ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The snow or snowcrete that covered the ground for three weeks finally melted last week. The bare ground was short-lived.
The Nor’easter that is pummeling New Jersey (News 12) was much less severe here. After rain most of the day, the transition to snow began around 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Since the air and ground was warm, it did not really start accumulating until after dark.
This morning, Yardy measured 2½ inches in my West End backyard. More surely fell, but it took quite a while for the surface temperatures to cool down enough.
The next potential for winter precipitation looks to be Monday, March 2. In between, we’ll have a few days in the high 50s.

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. Earlier this season, I even got to play broomball on Holmes Run.

Can’t get enough winter sports?
Come out and play broomball! It’s like hockey without skates, played on a full rink.
