Residents across the D.C. area woke up to a fresh coat of snow after yet another wintry blast swept through the region Tuesday into early Wednesday morning. But which neighborhoods got the most snow?

Tuesday marked the region’s second significant snowstorm of the year, dumping 8-plus inches across many areas farther south of D.C.

Much like the region’s first snowstorm this season, Southern Maryland hit the jackpot, as did certain parts of Northern Virginia, including Prince William and Stafford counties.

Tuesday’s storm rivaled the area’s first burst of winter weather, but ultimately fell just short in terms of snow totals. Here are some reports from around the region logged by National Weather Service-trained spotters:

  • Manassas, Virginia — 6.4 inches
  • Adams Morgan, D.C. — 5.5 inches
  • Fort Washington, Maryland — 8 inches
  • Springfield, Virginia — 7.5 inches
  • La Plata, Maryland — 8.7 inches
  • Chevy Chase, Maryland — 5.4 inches
  • East Clements, St. Mary’s County, Maryland — 11.3 inches
  • Reagan National Airport — 6.4 inches
  • Leonardtown, Maryland — 10 inches
  • Stafford, Virginia — 10.5 inches

While snowfall totals were significant, the powder may not linger for very long. Rain is in the forecast much of the day Wednesday and Thursday morning, and high temperatures Thursday will be around 50 degrees.

Hot, humid week ahead for DC area with severe storm risk

A dangerous heat wave will grip the D.C. area through Thursday, with highs in the mid to upper 90s and heat index values between 100 and 105. Hot and humid conditions are expected through Thursday, according to the National Weather Service, which said to expect daily thunderstorm chances and a risk of severe thunderstorms. 7News Meteorologist Eileen Whelan told WTOP that most of Tuesday will stay dry, but a few late-day thunderstorms are possible, especially north and east of D.C. as storms drift south from Pennsylvania. Any storm could produce damaging wind gusts and hail, but Whelan reiterated "storm chances are low" on Tuesday. Due to a lack of air conditioning, Parkdale High School in Riverdale, Maryland, closed early at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Prince George's County Public Schools said in a social media post.
