B-
About 140% of climo on snowfall. One big 10" storm plus few smaller events. Possibly our 5th snowiest January ever.
Overall the winter seemed pretty lame and unworthy of the B- grade, but with those January numbers, it's not fair to go lower.
Storm thread of 13 posts, the first 10 are about deciding to do the thread. Reminds me of the Paris peace talks when they spent the first couple days trying to agree what shape table to sit at.
Guess I'm guilty of banter. Might bring out the old guys for comment though. You know who you are.
Only about 0.10" overnight.
Very windy morning, but it seems like the trees have suffered so much this season that they don't have much junk and dead branches left to blow down.
Temp about 51f.
KNAK way behind everybody else (52); but typical for this time of season
Feels warmer up here away from the water though, (Sorry I don't have an instrument at work)
Analog year of March 2014. (Insanely cold first week, I recall) At IAD, 2014 owns 9 cold temp records (if you count lo max), and 5 snowfall records, including snowiest month at 19.8" ...viz:

How much snow did you get? Here is January, hi to low. (Might need to take this with a grain of salt.)
ETA : Might be 6th snowiest Jan, based on NorthArlington101's 15" number,
Thanks for your great recollection. (I hope our youngsters will get to read it).
It may be hard for readers to know how different MoCo was in 1966. The (3 lane) Beltway was only a few years old, and all these multi-lane highways were just 2-lane connectors traveling through farms and forests.
