1, Feb. 1979 PD1--11 years old first really big snow I remember well-there was already a few inches on the ground before it began--out of school the whole week-
2. Jan. 1996--to have Bob Ryan (notoriously conservative) predict 2 feet of snow before it began, I knew it was going to be good--followed by a few more clippers to freshen up the snow pack
3. Feb. 2003--PD2--snow pack stayed for weeks
4. March 1993 Superstorm--sleet really cut down on accumulations in Arlington, but very powerful winds
painful missing out on 2009 and 2010--in Richmond so it was very painful to get decent to good accumulations while NOVA/DC area got absolutely obliterated
