Looking at the years mentioned by LWX in today's AFD for record low temps, I compared annual snowfall amount for those years viz:
1911 - 22.4"
1920 - 7.9
1926 - 8.5
1957 - 43.0
1963 - 51.8
1986 - 35.2
1988 - 8.3
1996 - 15.3
for convenience, here are the years as they printed it:
Site Low 11/12 Low 11/13 High 11/13 Low 11/14
DCA 24/1926 22/1911 31/1911 19/1920
BWI 18/1957 22/1911 32/1911 18/1986
IAD 22/1988 21/1963 38/1996 13/1986
(most are low; some are low max)
I'm inclined to ignore the 1920 and 1926 because they appear for DCA only.
Common to BWI and IAD are 1986 and 1988. One good, one bad.
Inconclusive; (like most winter long range); but overall about half good, half bad. The BWI only years, 1911, 1957, 1986, were all average or well above.
