FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
A few wintry nuggets from NWS meteorologist Jared Klein’s latest dive into Baltimore’s record books: The average season’s snowfall from 1971-2000 was 18.2 inches. Last year was Baltimore’s snowiest, with 77 inches, but the “Winter Without Snow” was 1949-50, with only 0.7 inch. Last February was the snowiest month since 1892 (50”), followed by February 2003 (40.5”). On average, we get an inch or more of snow on 5.8 days per year. We see a 6-inch storm four times in five years, and a foot or more once in six years.
