Yesterday’s winter storm brought quiet streets and winter fun to Arlington, even as fluffy snowfall turned to icy sleet.
Snow blanketed the streets, which were mostly empty except for the occasional car or snowplow, and iconic views, including those in Arlington National Cemetery. At the same time, local kids — who have the day off from school today (Monday) — took to the parks for sledding and other merriment.
The National Weather Service recorded around 6 to 9 inches of accumulation in various parts of the county by the end of the day.
About three inches of this was sleet, according to the Capital Weather Gang. Arlington appears to have dodged most of the freezing rain.
