The last 10 years or so make you wonder if there's been a change where good snows are south and east from coastal scrapers or way north and west, leaving a hole in the central part of the region. When I grew up east of DC, the N&W burbs were king. I moved to Germantown in '94 and we cashed in a lot in the 90s and 2000s. A good example was Dec. 5, 2003, when we got 8" right at freezing and DC was all rain. That would be rain here now. The N&W burbs have lost their edge.
