When does the snow usually quit around here?

[Anonymous]

New to here. Looking at the forecast, I gather it still snows in February. What about March?

And not April, right?

March can be iffy. I remember one year in the 90s, we had snow in the first week of May, and 2 days off school.

March can be the biggest snowstorms or complete bust. What kills me about this area is the damn wind!

[Anonymous]

Usually ends by late February/ early March, in my experience. I can remember a year when it was 90 on my birthday in April.

March is iffy, but if it does come it doesn't last long--melts quickly

It def still snows in February; sometimes that's the heaviest snow. February was when Snowmageddon happened in 2010... a whole week off of school. It was MUCH worse than this recent minor incident. It snowed for about 72 hours straight. Sometimes it'll snow in early March, very rarely after March 15.

OP, most winters DC gets very little, if any snow. As you've seen, 4 inches causes everyone to lose their minds.

We've had a couple years of extremely mild winters. This winter has been bad only because of the insane cold. The recent snowstorm without the cold wouldn't have closed the schools for more than a day in a normal winter.

Hoping for Snowmageddon 2 soon! A week off would be nice.

Seriously? You haven't had enough time home in the past month?

The winters here are usually no snow or a lot. So this winter has followed a year of nothing. I remember the blizzard of St. Patty's Day in March 1993.

Historically, February has had the most snowfall of any month. At least, that is the stat my Dad keeps repeating.

OP here. Thank you!

Now that I've got some snow boots, and also have given myself permission to not exercise, I'm much happier. LOL

Me too. When it comes to snow, I'm a total kid at heart. I can tough it out and don't complain that my street hasn't been plowed because of a measly 2" of snow, but I'd love one really big storm. Like, at LEAST 10" minimum.

Yep. Makes me giggle to think that anyone thinks of this as normal DC weather.
