It's no secret that snow was very scarce during the 2022-2023 winter season in Maryland. Overall, the only measurable snow recorded was 0.20" on February 1st at BWI. The yearly average snowfall amount for BWI is a little shy of 20" (19.30" to be exact). There have been seven days this season where a trace of snow was recorded at the airport. Less than 0.10" is considered a "trace" of snow. This means that even though light snow fell on those seven days, there was no measurable accumulation at the surface.
Here is look at snow totals from 2017-2022 at BWI! You can see that totals have been below average over the previous five years. Similar to this season, the 2019-2020 season was also fairly "snow-less", as only 1.8" of snow measured. The last time snowfall totals were near normal was in 2018-2019, with 18.30" recorded. This is only 1" shy of the yearly normal snowfall value for Baltimore. Data shows the last season with above normal snowfall was during the 2015-2016 winter season, with 35.10" of snow.
If you are still hoping for snow in Baltimore, I would hold off on reading the rest of this weather blog...
