News - Snow

Record snowfall has occurred as a result of the snowmageddon/snowpocalpyse that began late yesterday, leaving communities across the mid-Atlantic states digging out, and thousands in the Chesapeake Bay area buried and without power. The latest reports into the National Weather Service show Maryland picking up the highest amounts, with most areas west of the Chesapeake Bay reporting at least 2 feet. 36" was reported in Frostburg (Allegany Co.), 34" from Crofton (Anne Arundel Co.) and anywhere from 34-38" across parts of Garrett Co. -About 3/4 of the state was inundated! Many areas of Virginia picked up over 2 feet of snow as well, with Vienna receiving 26" and Dulles International Airport coming in at 34.5" (which is a new 2-day record). The Philadelphia, PA, airport had picked up nearly 27" inches as of this afternoon, and surrounding communities in PA and New Jersey received similar amounts as the system exited the region. Check out these photos from around the affected areas, including more from Garrett County (where farm tractors with blowers were needed to open city streets!), and new photos from Cumberland, Maryland, as well as Vienna and Reston, Virginia! Thanks to all of the contributors!

We've had some bad ones here in the metro Denver area… the worst ones were Christmas of 2006 - 3 blizzards in 3 weeks - we didn't see the ground until March! Had about 40 inches of snow altogether… And also March of 2003 - we got 42 inches all at once. It sucks digging out from that much snow!
