After several inches of snow covered the D.C. area on Monday, shuttering schools and offices and creating treacherous travel conditions, Friday morning saw another snowfall and another round of closures across the region.

About 2.5 inches fell in D.C. in the early hours of Friday morning, with parts of Northern Virginia and Maryland receiving four or more. Just one week into 2022, D.C. has seen more inches of snow than in the past two years combined.

So far, officials have not reported any major incidents on highways around the region, but Friday’s freezing temperatures could still make for icy conditions throughout the morning.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam declared a state of emergency on Wednesday ahead of anticipated snow, after Monday’s storm left drivers on I-95 stranded for 24 hours. According to The Washington Post, D.C.’s Deputy Mayor of Public Safety and Justice Chris Geldart said Friday morning that the main roads of the city “look good.” Crews having been working in 12-hour shifts since Sunday night to clear streets.

Several school systems in the area and the federal government announced Thursday evening that they’d be closed on Friday. Here’s how snow is impacting the region Friday:
