Other tidbits: Some of these cities could even pass 100 inches of snowfall by Spring, we say in our "Why so many major storms?" article. Only one other season has provided two storms with more than a foot of snow for Philly (and only 7 storms total!) and those were barely over a foot (2009-2010 has provided 22.5 + 28.5). There have never been three double-digit snowstorms in a season (another record which should be broken tomorrow). Also interesting (as blog reader Steve pointed out yesterday) Baltimore is currently within an inch and a half of Erie & Buffalo's seasonal totals (62.0 & 61.2).

Others are in a snow drought, however. For more season stats including cities below normal, see my blog yesterday.

*DISCLAIMERS:Corrected numbers @ 11 AM for actual amounts from NWS values (I had previously used AccuWeather.com values which differed slightly). Updated based on the AccuWeather.com forecasts as of 11 AM 2/9/10, which will change. Averages based on NCDC averages. I'm using Dulles for D.C. here.
