In the parking lot of a Total Wine store, college students in fraternity sweatshirts lugged a keg of beer to their car.</p><p class="c-paragraph">But on the sidewalks of the city’s historic Ghent neighborhood, there was an eerie quiet. A white-haired shih tzu named Sasha tramped delicately in newly fallen snow Wednesday.</p><p class="c-paragraph">“This is a little weird for her. I love the snow, but it looks like this is a bit too much for us,” said Sasha’s owner, Lotfi Hamdi, who stocked up on milk and bread. “If it’s more than five inches, I think that’s a bit risky for us. Luckily I’m off for the next couple of days.”</p><p class="c-paragraph">Sasha isn’t alone in feeling out of sorts. The winter months in this city of 230,000 people on the Chesapeake Bay sometimes pass with barely a dusting of snow. Schools and many businesses closed Wednesday throughout the Hampton Roads region and could remain shuttered into the weekend. The Norfolk Naval Shipyard reduced operations.</p><h3 class="adn-article-body__h3">Deja storm all over again</h3><p class="c-paragraph">Virginia remained under a state of emergency that Gov.
