Snow at last!
After a record 729 days without snowfall totaling an inch or more, the Washington, D.C., area finally broke its snow drought – spectacularly.
A winter storm dumped 4.1 inches of snow at Reagan National Airport; 4 inches at Dulles International Airport and 4.9 inches at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, the National Weather Service observed.
One of the highest totals was in Arcola, Virginia, where a trained spotter measured 6.4 inches of snow!
It was enough to close down most schools, giving thousands of kids a long-awaited snow day filled with sledding, snowman building and even some snowball fights. The snow was also blamed for messy roads that caused numerous crashes and frustrating airport delays on Monday.
How much snow fell in your neighborhood? Here are the National Weather Service's initial findings, recorded in official readings, by trained spotters and through other means.
