FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
The first weather records of the new year were set during last Wednesday’s very wet “Rush Hour Storm.”
The National Weather Service says the liquid precipitation at BWI-Marshall Airport totaled 1.82 inches, beating the date’s previous record of 1.33 inches, set in 1895.
And the 7.8 inches of snow that fell topped the old record of 6.9 inches, set in 1966.
Similar precipitation records were broken at Reagan National and Dulles airports. The snow at Dulles also set a new record: 7.3 inches.
