DCA's ASOS is on the east (river) side of the runways.  It is not near the buildings.  Now, the snowfall measurement location is a completely different issue, but they seem to have fixed that in the past 5 years or so.

Did they change it after '16? When an observer went to DCA and had a completely different measurement (19.4", #3 all time) than the official amount?

Was that the one where they lost track of the snow board?

Snow cover still remains in the Catoctins

In the station notes, it says DCA was upgraded with a 40" stick back in December 2021. Why it took so long, I am not sure.

That is shockingly comical
