A Look Back At Thursday's Wild Swing A photo shows light snow on grass. Text explains a cold front caused temperatures to drop from morning highs to evening lows, turning rain to snow on March 12, 2026. A table lists 19 Mid-Atlantic locations with Highs (up to 78°F in DC), Lows (down to 26°F), and Snowfall (up to 2.3" in Beckley, WV). Highs were mostly in the 60s-70s; lows in the 20s-30s.
A regional map of the Mid-Atlantic U.S. showing snowfall measurements from March 12, 2026. Colored dots indicate accumulation amounts concentrated in Virginia and Maryland. A "Snowfall Legend" shows a scale from light blue (<1") to dark purple (36"+). Most data points on the map are light to medium blue, indicating accumulations between less than 1 inch and 3 inches, with the heaviest concentrations around central Virginia.
Yesterday saw an interesting change from the start of the day to the evening in the Mid-Atlantic as a strong cold front pushed through tumbling the temperature from 🥀spring-like readings to winter-like ❄️. As this happened rain changed over to snow and accumulated.
