Much better than you thought going in, right?

It's been a good winter, IMO, by almost any standard I can come up with.

Yesterday's DCA bulls-eye helped to even out the inside beltway-outside beltway disparity. These two back-to-back events make February legitimately "snowy" for the entire metro area, as we know how hard it is to get a >10" month.

#21 all time Feb, #12 at DCA for DC.  Not bad at all.

the disparity has pretty much disappeared, especially once you adjust for medians, and IAD's ludicrous over-measurement on 1/21

I'll run the numbers later, but it is probably around 17-18"

Oh, I thought you had posted it already... didn't mean for you to have to do work for IAD separately. 

I just ran the numbers for the last 25 seasons, like you did as a subset for DCA. I didn't feel like going all the way back to IAD's start... 

The resulting median is actually pretty low for IAD for the 25-season set: 14-15".

Raising my total for today based on reports from around me and due to how much snow is still remaining on my previously-shoveled north-facing sidewalk after I got home from work.

It looks like if we take the last 30 winters...not counting this one...so back to 83-84....You can see that BWI and DCA are performing quite similarly and IAD a tad better which properly reflects the boost the western guys got on 12/8 and 12/10 disproportionate to I-95, as well as the inflated reading on 1/21. I am guessing there is a lucky swath in the further Northern and Northwestern Baltimore exburbs that is doing 200%-225% of average. They are the true outliers.

 

1983-84 to 2012-13

 

BWI: 

 

Average - 18.7"

Median - 14.9"

2013-14 to date - 26.9"

Percentage of Average/Median: 144%/181%

 

IAD:

 

Average - 20.4"

Median - 15.8"

2013-14 to date - 33.0"

Percentage of Average/Median: 162%/209%

 

DCA:

 

Average - 14.1"

Median - 10.2"

2013-14 to date - 19.3"

Percentage of Average/Median: 137%/189%

 

My Backyard:

 

Average - ~16.0"

Median - ~12.0"

2013-14 to date - 22.5"

Percentage of Average/Median: 141%/188%
