STERLING, Va. - The current storm has put Baltimore and Washington
over the top for their snowiest season on record.
Bryan Jackson of the National Weather Service says that as of 7 a.m.
Wednesday, 5.2 inches of snow had fallen since Tuesday at Baltimore-
Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. That brings the
total snowfall since December to 65.6 inches and is the most since
record-keeping began in Baltimore in 1893. The previous record, from
1995-96, was 62.5 inches.
Meanwhile, Washington reached a seasonal snowfall record on Wednesday.
As of 2 p.m., there were 54.9 inches recorded at Reagan National
Airport. That's a half-inch above the previous record from the
1898-1899 season.
Washington Dulles International Airport, which already had its
snowiest season before the current storm began, has gotten another 4
inches. That brings its total for the season to 67.5 inches.
