Slushy snow that fell overnight has already begun melting off and some parts of the D.C. area saw very little white stuff to begin with.

Snow totals around the region ranged from around 2 to 4 inches.

But certain spots got even less snow than that — only 1 inch fell at Reagan National Airport, according to the National Weather Service.

The highest snowfall in the D.C. area was in Montgomery County. An NWS employee recorded 5.5 inches in Gaithersburg before sunrise Monday.
