First Major Snowstorm Of 2024: Photos Wanted From Greater Alexandria

FORT HUNT, VA — Tuesday was supposed to be the day when everyone returned to work or school following the Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but Mother Nature had a different plan for greater Alexandria residents.

A winter storm warning was in effect to 10 a.m. on Tuesday for most of Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., according to the National Weather Service. While snow is expected to taper off during the morning hours, it will be replaced in some areas by sleet or freezing rain.

As a result of the snow, not only did Fairfax County Public Schools and Alexandria City Public Schools close and the Alexandria city and Fairfax County government offices open late. In addition, all federal offices in the Washington, D.C. area were closed, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

If you are stuck at home due to the snowstorm, Patch is calling for photo submissions showing how the first big snowstorm of the 2023-2024 season is shaping up in your neighborhood. Photos may be emailed to forthunt@patch.com. Please include the town and/or neighborhood the photo was taken in. We will accept photos from Alexandria addresses in Fairfax County and City of Alexandria.

Please only send photos you have taken. By submitting a photo, you give Patch consent to use it in its Winter Storm Photo Gallery with credit given to you.

We will share submissions below as they come in.
