Blizzard 2010 Snow Maps & Totals
Up to 40 inches of snow fell during the mid-Atlantic snowstorm. Here are a couple of totals maps. As you can see, most of New York City & Long Island got shafted again, as well as New England. If you believe Henry's blog, this will be "fixed" mid-week (except for northern New England). I'll be updating my Snow Drought / Snow Surplus stats tomorrow.
HIGHEST BY STATE (NWS SPOTTERS):
Colesville, MD: 40.0" Lehew, WV: 34.0" Howellsville, VA: 32.0" Upper Strasburg, PA: 31.0" National Park, NJ: 28.5" American University, DC: 27.5" Wilmington, DE: 26.5" Washington, DC: 20.0" Coumbiana, OH: 17.0" Blowing Rock, NC: 13.2" Great Kills, NY: 6.4" Alexandria, IN: 6.0"
Some miscellaneous city records (this is from other AccuWeather writers and has not been vetted by me).
- The Baltimore-Washington International Airport, Md., measured 24.8 inches of snow from the storm. That breaks the record for the largest two day snowfall, which was 24.4 inches set back on February 16-17, 2003.
- The 25.8 inches of snow that fell in Wilmington was the greatest snowfall in the city's history. The storm's snowfall also brought this winter's snow total to 53.9 inches, ranking this season as the second snowiest on record.

- Philadelphia recorded 28.5 inches of snow from the blizzard. This winter is now the city's second snowiest with a total of 56.3 inches. This is also the second storm that has dumped over a foot of snow on Philadelphia this winter. That has only occurred one other time in recorded history. Philly needs 9.3 inches for this to be the snowiest season on record.
