On January 6, 2025, the first major winter storm of the year impacted the U.S. mid-Atlantic, particularly Washington, D.C., which saw widespread closures of federal offices and public schools. The storm, which coincided with Congress meeting to certify Donald Trump’s election, dropped about five inches of snow in the nation's capital by 8 a.m., with up to eight inches in surrounding areas of Maryland and Virginia. The snow continued throughout the day, expected to dissipate by evening. The storm also affected the Ohio Valley and Central Plains, bringing up to a foot of snow. Amid the winter weather, Washington residents participated in a snowball fight at Meridian Hill Park, organized by the DC Snowball Fight Association, featuring playful moments like dogs eating snowballs. Although the three major airports in the D.C. area remained open, snow removal efforts led to delays and cancellations of many flights.
