City of Alexandria Prepares for Forecasted Wintry Mix

The National Weather Serviceindicates a chance of light snow or a wintry mix late Monday into early Tuesday, with confidence still low to moderate. As conditions evolve, the City of Alexandria is monitoring forecasts and preparing equipment to treat high-priority roads if conditions require.

What We Are Doing

Crews are currently working to treat roadways across the city, including residential routes, with priority given to areas most susceptible to icy conditions such as hills, bridges, and overpasses. Preparations will address the potential for light snow accumulation and slippery road conditions Monday evening.

How You Can Help

• If you encounter salt or brine trucks on the road, please give them space to work and share the road safely.
• Clear debris around storm drains to limit ice buildup and keep melting snow and ice flowing.
• Reminder to salt smarter! One 12-ounce up is enough for 10 sidewalk squares or 500 square feet of driveway coverage, and by waiting to salt until closer to the predicted weather conditions you can help limit harmful salt runoff.
