Baltimore, MD – Snow and sleet continue to blanket parts of Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., this week, as a slow thaw keeps measurable snow depth locked in place across the region.
According to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington office, Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia tied its all-time record with 18 consecutive days of at least 4 inches of snow depth as of Tuesday, February 11, 2026 — and the streak is still counting. The record matches previous 18-day stretches recorded in February 2010 and January 1963.
Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) has also reached 18 consecutive days of 4-inch snow depth, placing it second all-time. That surpasses the previous 17-day marks set in January 1982 and February 1905.
Meanwhile, Reagan National Airport (DCA) in Washington, D.C., recorded nine consecutive days of 4-inch snow depth from January 26 through February 3, tying for 15th place alongside January 1988 and December 1910.
While temperatures have gradually moderated in recent days, the thaw has been slow enough to maintain snowpack levels. Forecasters say melting will continue through the weekend, which could finally bring an end to the record-challenging streak.
Drivers should remain alert for refreezing overnight and slushy secondary roads during early morning commutes.
