Lovin' the Snow!

The official snow totals reported at Reagan National Airport: the top 10 snowstorms:

1. 28.0", Jan 27-28, 1922
2. 20.5", Feb 11-13, 1899
3. 18.7", Feb 18-19, 1979
4. 17.8" Feb 5-6, 2010 (Snowmageddon)
5. 17.1", Jan 6-8, 1996
6. 16.7", Feb 15-18, 2003
7. 16.6", Feb 11-12, 1983
8. 16.4", Dec 19-20, 2009 (Snowpocalypse)
9. 14.4", Feb 15-16, 1958
10. 14.4", Feb 7, 1936

Here are the snow totals at the airports for the storm, with their seasonal snowfall totals:

DCA: 17.8"/45.1"
BWI: 24.8"/60.4"
IAD: 32.4"/63.5"

Two storms in one season in the top ten, that's pretty impressive. Also, National Airport is almost always on the low-end for snow reports in our area. In both of this year's storms, the totals were closer to 24 inches where we live.
