Blizzard of 96 left the most snow over the area according to every map I can find.
2/5/2010 would have been much better if it were 3 degrees colder, and I didn't like the white rain and the paste at the beginning of that storm and that's why I don't rate it as good as 1996.

The Washington monument and National Cathedral are still under repair.
Strong winds quickly carried the clouds and rain cooled air away. I'd say it did almost nill to supress the outbreak. Extra soil moister may have even helped it.
Wow.
Actually I figured it out. Probably the low pressure inside the tornado that forced those off. Wind Speed alone can't do it since the surface is parallel. So manhole covers make a crude barometer.
