If we can get on the board for a top 5 futility record at one of the airports - glasses of warm water in honor of what fell this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not as bad as I thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its a Breeze Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 2" at DCA for '11/'12? Wow... Don't recall it being that much. Probably because I blocked that winter out from my mind..... Haven't blocked '97/'98 because we all need a (just one) reminder of how awful it could get around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Right now tie for 3rd, and two new third place worst totals on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 You should make it top seven at BWI so once this winter is done we can have 97/98 and 16/17 still on the list. Five of the top seven in the last 22 years lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Just to expand the futility area a bit, Philly is at 0.3". Their worst snowfall season was 1972-73, recording a trace. As of now, this winter would rank second, just ahead of 1997-98, with 0.8". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but according to my numbers, the lowest 5-year combined seasonal snow totals at BWI would be 52.7", from the 1948-49 winter through the 1952-53 winter. If you take our last five winter seasons at BWI (Including the current season), the total is only 40.1". In other words, as long as BWI gets 12.5" or less of additional snow this season, they will break their 5-year futility record. @RodneyS I'd be interested in DCA if you have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Might as well set some new marks for DCA this year. It could be the first time they’ve ever had back 2 back winters with less than an inch of snow. Probably unlikely. And, with less than 10 inches, it would be the first ever 5 yr stretch with at least 4 years having less than 10 inches. I’d wager chances of this happening are good.

The 5-year minimum DC snow total was set during the 1997-98 through 2001-02 snow seasons at 37.7 inches. The last four snow seasons at DCA have totaled 28.7 inches, and so 8.9 inches or fewer this season would break that record. The minimum two-season DC snow total was set during the 2011-12 through 2012-13 snow seasons at 5.1 inches. So, with last season's 0.6 inch total at DCA, 4.4 inches this season would break that record. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked about five-year DCA snow totals, which I had not previously tracked. By the way, the IAD 5-year minimum was set way back during the 1972-73 through 1976-77 snow seasons, at 58.6 inches. The last four years at IAD have totaled 48.6 inches, and so under 10 inches this year there will break the record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
