The threat of a jest a few flakes falling from the sky overnight was enough to get Virginia highway crews out to treat roads.
Crews were spotted laying down a salt-brine solution on Interstate 95 this morning.
Here’s more in a press release about what the Virginia Department of Transportation is doing ahead of a Alberta Clipper, that could bring some conversational snowflakes to the region today:
Northern Virginia drivers are asked to use caution and to be aware of possible slick spots on their afternoon commute today. Pavement temperatures are expected to drop below freezing after 4 p.m., with frigid conditions continuing overnight.
Today, crews are pre-treating trouble spots in Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties. On interstate bridges and ramps prone to freezing such as the Springfield interchange, I-66 at Route 29 and the Capital Beltway at Route 1, crews use liquid magnesium chloride. On other major roads, such as the Fairfax County Parkway and routes 1, 7, 28, 29, and 50, problem spots are pre-treated with salt brine.
About 125 trucks will remain on duty overnight to handle any freezing issues.
We stand to see rain after 4 p.m., which could changeover to snowflakes, according to the National Weather Service. Little if any accumulation is expected in our area.
Portions of Maryland and Pennsylvania are expected to see the most snow from the storm.
Any snow will move out by 7 p.m., and gusty winds will follow. Winds are expected to 46 mph once the clipper moves by, and low temperatures will drop into the low 20s.
Expect high temperatures on Wednesday in the low 30s. Temperatures improve on Thursday when the mercury could climb into the mid 40s.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
