Snowstorm Aftermath: It Could Have Been Worse

Quick-moving front spares real hardships; shoveling should be easy going.

The National Weather Service called the storm and the region got off fairly lucky. The roughly seven inches that fell was enough to cancel schools and non-essential services, but it feels like a light dusting after the post-Christmas blizzard two weeks ago. According to the service, this storm is the same one that pelted the south over the past few days. According to meteorologists, the storm moved through more quickly than anticipated, so the accumulations were kept to a minimum.  Woodbridge residents who parked on snow emergency routes are encouraged to keep them off the streets until road crews finish their work.
