    The Capital Weather Gang is reporting that BWI has now picked up 2.6 inches in this storm.  If that's the case, tplbge is the new leader with H20 second.

    I'm ok with this statement.  Winning the snowfall contest  :mapsnow:  will be my greatest moment since winning the Summer temp forecast contest.  Let's just measure ice for the rest of the year.

    Breaking the tie in favor of Snowmageddon 1. That storm was absolutely insane - the fourth snowstorm I remember (3/1/09, 12/19/09, 1/30/10 being the other three). Power was out all through our neighborhood for days due to the heavy wet snow. If I remember it went back on briefly and was knocked out again by the second storm. Subdivision roads were blocked for at least 3 days and we had to stay in the basement because the rest of the house was freezing. I remember measuring 26" total at the end of the storm. Also I wasn't alive for the 1996 storm but even if I was I would probably still be voting for 2010. 

    I was alive for 96 and voted for 96.  Come on, we need another tie here.  To be the top, you have to be snowing for 3 days.  :) Only 2 storms listed here have that.  Plus, we got another 6-12 inches on the Friday after that.  The date for the Blizz of 96 was Jan 6-8, btw. #weekendrule

  3. I would vote Snowmageddon Part I second behind 96, mainly because I lost power for 3 days and had to listen to the Superbowl on battery powered radio.  I would vote 3rd for January 25, 2000.  Any storm that busts high deserves high marks, even if we didn't get 20 inches of snow.  I remember hearing about getting pretty much nothing on the 6pm newscasts that night.

    By 7:30pm, radar hallucinations turned into reality.  I remember calling my sister with these words at that point..."Go to the store now".

    Bump because panic room discussion

    I'd have to say 96 because we hit got another 8+ the Friday afterwards.  Great storm that just wouldn't end. After the smaller 2nd storm, the Laurel Safeway awning collapsed above me because of the weight of the snow.  

    It just sounded like shopping carts crashing together, but I heard a scream. I got nicked, but nobody really got hurt.
