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.
