Probably 18-20". I haven't been keeping accurate snow measurements long enough to develop my own average, so I go with the BWI area.

 

Hopefully I can bag 6-8" more :)

18-20" sounds about right, I think.

 

Yeah I'm still waiting for one big storm, 5-6" or more. This one was nice, but it doesn't quite cut it.

That's a lot of "events" for that little return.  :lol:

 

I measure in .25" increments and round up or down as necessary.  I'm not into parsing even smaller amounts, so oftentimes the Traces could have been .25" by those standards, but sometimes those are just brief sleet or flurry action.

I don't really keep track of traces anymore and I round totals to the nearest half-inch:

 

1/14: 0.5"

1/27: 1"

2/12: no accumulation, but heavy snow fell

2/14: ~1" (combined from both morning and evening bursts)

2/16-17: 7"

 

So that puts me at about 9.5" for the season. This town averages about 18-19 inches from what I've read.
