2025 Winter Storm Gallery: Fairfax City Readers Share Snow Photos

FAIRFAX CITY, VA — Thanks to two snows days this week, Reston readers had a chance to stay at home and enjoy the beauty of fresh fallen snow while shoveling their driveway or digging out their car.

The first big winter storm of the year brought anywhere from 2 inches to more than 11 inches of snow across Virginia, according to totals on Tuesday morning.

Patch invited our readers in Fairfax City to send us photos showing their experiences during the season's first big snow fall. You'll find all of their submissions below.
