December 2009 was nice. Cold, wall to wall snow. No frills, no anxiously monitoring the ra/ip/sn line or the pivot. Perfect time of year. I'll always recall January '00 fondly because of the surprise factor and because my location, Upper Marlboro did extremely well, easily 15-17 inches.
Feb 5,6 is the one I voted for tho. Didn't get the truly epic totals they had to west and in central Maryland, but the 8p to 12a period was amazing. But I was watching the dry slot after that and became upset when it seemed like it was going to get to DC. So I went to bed and woke up to about 24" in NE DC.
