Washington DC Metro Area Inundated With Record Breaking Snowfall

Well, this is what is up, here in the DC burbs, where we are hunkered down, anticipating another 10 inches of snow on top of the 30 we already have: AP – “Some spots, including parts of Maryland, had nearly 3 feet of snow from the earlier storm. One scientist said if all that fell on the East Coast were melted, it would fill 12 million Olympic swimming pools or 30,000 Empire State buildings. Philadelphia and Washington each need about 9 more inches to give the cities their snowiest winters since 1884, the first year records were kept.”

  • Update: National Weather Service – “Washington reached a seasonal snowfall record on Wednesday. As of 2 p.m., there were 54.9 inches recorded at Reagan National Airport. That’s a half-inch above the previous record from the 1898-1899 season. Washington Dulles International Airport, which already had its snowiest season before the current storm began, has gotten another 4 inches. That brings its total for the season to 67.5 inches.”
