Town-By-Town NoVA Snow Totals Released: How Much Did You Get?
Below are the unofficial Northern Virginia snowfall totals as provided by the National Weather Service for the Jan. 24-25 snowstorm.
Virginia's meteorologists have been saying for days that the DC region would receive 6 to 10 inches of snow and that is exactly what happened.
Town-by-town snow totals reveal that many counties received 8 or 9 inches of snow and sleet and as of 6:30 a.m. Monday, Cedar Grove in Frederick County received the most snow with 11.8 inches. Schools across the region are closed Monday as residents and road crews dig out from the storm.
Weather experts said it was the biggest snowstorm the Baltimore-DC region has received in 10 years.

And the snow will stick around for awhile. The frigid temperatures may not rise above freezing until early February, after dropping below freezing on Jan. 23, forecasts say.
There is also the potential for another storm to affect the East Coast this weekend.

"While it’s too early to tell if there will be major weather impacts, several reliable computer model runs early on Monday shifted in a stormier direction, indicating that a weekend storm was possible," The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang said. "Although this frigid weather pattern is ripe for snow, the weekend storm depends on a swirling disturbance currently near Hudson Bay in Canada looping southward and stalling near the East Coast — a complex weather setup that will cause forecasts to bounce around in the coming days. If another storm forms, eastern areas hard hit by snow and ice this weekend could get much more."
A cold weather advisory is in effect from 7 p.m. Monday to 11 a.m. Tuesday, the National Weather Service said. Very cold wind chills as low as 5 to 8 below zero are expected for Baltimore, DC and northern and northwest Virginia, plus much of Maryland.
The cold wind chills as low as 5 to 8 below zero could result in hypothermia if precautions are not taken, the NWS said. An Arctic air mass will keep the region in the deep freeze throughout the week.
