The blizzard was in effect and my parents took me to Costco and Walmart for groceries and other products. It is so very nice having everything I needed provided for me. I remember purchasing a vast array of essentials. Will and Julie Nesbitt, get me to the stores and make it so easy, to sit at home and wait for the weather to pass and the work week to pick up again, which it already has and now the roads are back to the way they were, and the side walks still have some snow melting and snow shoveling to be done. The groceries in the nick of time, was awesome strolling through the entire whole sale store and including a quick dash to Walmart, calm and collecting many much needed items for my inventory.

New Alexandria, with layers of snow after a few days of 2016 snow storm. Roads paved same day. Belle Haven Professional Building paved, no electricity outage throughout the entire snow storm of 2016.
My parents gave me a ride to Nesbitt Realty. Along the way, there were paved / cleared roads. I shot pictures of Richmond Highway, and areas near Belle Haven. From my home, it looked like each day was getting easier; driveway shoveled, snow plows working, summer's approaching again. Mom gave me a gallon of milk. A brisk winter walk in boots, snow pants, ski jacket, long johns, to the store. CVS open too? Awesome! German engineered car made it home from church, just to the spot where I met up with my mom and dad. Pops drove me home, while all the snow started hailing down. Life is awesome!
There I was fully stocked refrigerator; triple bacon cheeseburgers in my belly, Netflix twilight zone a few episodes deep, and I thought it's awesome being a home owner! To take pride in ownership, shoveling my driveway and my sidewalk, going back inside to warmth and a bath after a hard days relaxed work. Ain't it nice having all my belongings and possessions accounted for and my dog just ate a pig ear from Petco, purchased in advance might I add. It's so very nice to own my own place and have nothing to worry about. Putting together a outlined puzzle and stopping, the dog getting let out throughout the day. Many things to do to enjoy my mortgage. DVDs, roku, vintage electronics, tabletop geomorph, laying on the couch I own, guitar, listening to Mick Jaggar and Keith Richards and that Jones dude I think was on it too, of the Rolling stones for free on Pandora; I even painted some Games Workshop Miniatures. . . Not to mention I could keep going with eating my triple bacon cheeseburgers, tater tots, chicken fettuccini, haagen daz ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, cheez its, doritos, Cheetos, tea, most of it from Costco or the grocery store, that reminds me I managed to get some much needed items from Walmart the day of snow storm 2016 starting. Wait that was day two. By my count It's been 6 days of blizzard and it was easy. The end, by Aubrey Nesbitt.

Last week all anyone could talk about was the winter storm of the millennium. In Northern Virginia the estimates of projected snowfall were almost cartoonish. The storm coming into the area was to have an impact on several states and this usually means shutting down function of the streets or highways.
On Friday the 22nd of January things in the office were quiet and people ended up leaving early to get home before the beginning of the ultimate snow storm. It was to begin about noon time and came almost exactly and hour later. The snowfall began then and continued until midnight on Saturday.
The interesting thing about this snow is that it was combined with an intense wind that didn't subside until the end of the snowfall. Only for about an hour was the snow thick and fluffy. For the most part it was just light and airy. It was consistent, though. It didn't stop falling for that whole time of a day and a half. It seemed interesting that it piled up as it did, being so light and seemingly tame. The worst thing about the storm during that period was the intense wind (23-43mph) that howled and whistled endlessly.
Snow in Alexandria
When it all stopped, totals of snowfall in Virginia were reported to be between 13-33inches. Some variations will be seen in other areas, but it was difficult to measure with the drifts everywhere.
The point of all of this is that truly I expected things to be much worse. On Sunday morning all of the roads were plowed here in Alexandria and driving was no problem. On Monday morning more salt was put down and some streets are now completely cleared down to the asphalt.
Hats off to the workers who put in their time to make things safe for us. This city of Alexandria truly knows how to handle this weather.

Real Estate and Neighborhoods of Alexandria, VA
Alexandria dates back to the colonial era and many of the neighborhoods of Alexandria reflect that heritage. However, Alexandria is also home to newer and relatively new neighborhoods like the Carlyle District and Kingstowne. To learn more about these or other neighborhoods in Alexandria VA, surf through the tabs here.
Alexandria is a highly livable city with enviable amenities, culture and attractions. The Commonwealth of Virginia considers Alexandria an "independent city" which means that Alexandria is not in any county. However, parts of Northern Virginia have an Alexandria postal address, but are actually in Fairfax County. All this can be confusing for newcomers to the area, but we try to simplify this in our guide by organizing things so they make sense for the home buyer.
You won't have to be a Virginia jurisdictional authority to find the home you want to buy, but start here for a primer on Alexandria.
