Quick on the heels of the overnight snow, another low ramps up Wednesday night into Thursday. The second system headed to the tri-state this week will not be as forgiving as its predecessor in terms of timing and precipitation type.

The first storm dumped over a foot of snow in parts of the Appalachians and mid-Atlantic, including Washington, D.C., which was blanketed by over 6 inches of snowfall on Tuesday. The White House, National Mall and U.S. Capitol were covered in white.
