those clowns at the FAA tower screwed up jan 1996... when the airport has less snow than any other location for 60+ miles to the southeast or east

and their perforrmance last winter proves it

The 17.8" recorded at ORF means that 2010-11 currently ranks as the 12th snowiest season on record.

LAST BIG SNOW (10"+ ) at ric --OFFICIAL was jan 2000

ORF and se va since then has had 3 of them

numerous 10"+ in LYN ROA CHO and of course northern VA

this is the longest BIG snow drought N of the VA NC state line on the east coast

The Richmond area got 10-14 from Jan 30, 2010. Not sure what the airport measured though.
