• Snow totals across the DC, Maryland and Virginia region (fox5dc.com) — Gaithersburg picked up about 1.5 inches of snow in Sunday’s storm, less than some nearby Maryland communities but still enough to make roads slick. Western Maryland saw the heaviest totals, while much of the D.C. metro reported 1–4 inches as crews continue treating highways and secondary roads.
