Bitter cold temperatures, gusty winds make for frigid commute across DMV

DC snow forecast: Record snowfall at BWI, Dulles Monday

A record snowfall at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) on Monday. A bitter cold day ahead with blowing snow possible.

WASHINGTON - The worst of Monday's winter storm ended by the evening, but with cold temperatures hanging around for the rest of the week, the inches of snow dropped on the DMV are still impacting roads and travel.

With some of the coldest air of winter coming down from Canada the snow will not be melting away anytime soon.

FOX 5's Tucker Barnes and Taylor Grenda say temperatures will be near freezing at 32 degrees on Tuesday, but the gusty winds will make it feel even colder.

While many roads were cleared on Monday, that frigid air also brought overnight refreeze, so the Tuesday morning commute remained messy in some areas due to the residual snow and ice on the ground.

Officials continue to say that even if a road appears clear, drivers need to use extra caution.

Cleanup continues on roadways across DC region following snowstorm

Cleanup efforts are in full swing across the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia regions following the season's first significant winter storm.

Snow totals across D.C., Maryland, Virginia

This was the fourth-biggest snowfall for D.C. at this time of year over the last 10 years. Over seven inches fell in the District

Here is the complete list of snow totals for Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.

More winter weather on the way

With the cold going nowhere, our eyes begin to turn towards the future, and whether the District could be impacted by a "double hitter", that is, two snow storms over the course of a single week.

The answer to that question is yes, we absolutely could. It has happened before as well. Famously back in February 2010, D.C. picked up 17.8" of snow on the 5-6th of February, followed just two days later by another 10.8" of snow on the 9th-10th of February.

Should it come to fruition, the storm later this week could have much higher snowfall totals, ones that could rival those February cases. But even inside five days, there are still some major differences in the weather modeling, and questions about whether a storm will even happen in our region.

Snow threat Saturday could bring more winter weather to DC region

FOX 5’s Tucker Barnes says all eyes are on a winter weather threat that could bring more snow to the D.C. region Saturday.

Blizzard chances for DC region Friday, Saturday

The American model is the one that has been making all the rounds on social media. For the better part of the past two days, it has been showing – well, let's be frank here – a blizzard for the D.C. region Friday night through Saturday.

Storms like the one modeled here tend to give people in the region not just multiple inches of snow, but the potential for feet of snowfall.

Icy conditions persist following DMV snowstorm

Drivers and pedestrians are warned to watch out for icy roadways, sidewalks, and black ice. Despite the snow coming to an end late Monday night, the potential for refreezing remains high.
