DCA's snowboard sits behind the jet warm-up zone. It may even sit inside a hanger. Most inconsistent snow obs location for a major that I've ever seen.

I don't know if it's that internally inconsistent-- just forever low. There aren't many, if any, examples where DCA's total is shockingly high. And this carries down to even cold clippers too-- like a 0.8" that was 1.5"-2" elsewhere in the city.

You can't compare DCA snow totals to pre-DCA storms (like 1899 or Knickerbocker), but the ranking of the major snowstorms since the move to DCA is more or less right for DC proper. The only exception is probably PDI-- Both 2/5-6/10 and 1/96 had higher snow totals across most of the city.

PDI- 18.7"

2/5-6/10- 17.8"

1/96- 17.1"

PDII- 16.7"

2/83- 16.6"

12/09- 16.4"

2/58- 14.4"

1/66- 13.8"

Some other recent storm totals that make sense within DCA's own rankings:

1/25/00- 9.3"

2/06- 8.8"

2/9-10/10- 10.8"
