Doesn’t NWS remove or smooth over extreme outliers when calculating averages though? I thought I remember reading they did something to Dec 09 and Feb 03 when calculating 1981-2010 snow averages, for example.
Alright gang, it's time to start rooting for a Beach Blizzard threepeat in the first week of January. Here's all we got to work with so far, courtesy of the GFS:
IAD’s in the red zone but misses the game-winning field goal lol
There’s a chance of rain tomorrow night, but probably the last significant chance to win would be the Thursday/Friday system.

I often wonder what it would have been like had the Dec ‘09 storm occurred in a different winter altogether (or if 09/10 had Snowpocalypse but not Snowmageddon). How would our opinions have changed?
Poll update: I removed the February 1994 ice storm (since it only had one vote) as well as the "Other" option- this cleans it up and gets us down to an even top ten once again.
I think DCA needs another 0.56" to break the record now, right? Looks like they had 0.32" Dec 1-2. I'm getting slightly concerned that we're gonna find a way to fail at this now lol
