Alexandria gears up for winter with snowplow training tomorrow

Before the first flakes fall, Alexandria’s crews are hitting the streets—not for snow, but to perfect their winter response. A drill that keeps the city one step ahead.

Alexandria gears up for winter with snowplow training tomorrow

The training, organised by Alexandria’s emergency management and public works departments, serves as a 'dry run' for winter operations. Crews will practise using equipment, reviewing routes, and following safety procedures. While operators may apply brine to streets during the session, this is not a response to an actual storm.

Tomorrow’s training ensures crews remain prepared for heavier snowfall later in the season. The city’s annual average of 15 inches means reliable winter responses are essential. Residents can track real-time plough progress through the SnowReport webpage during active weather events.
