Despite recording snow well into Spring and beginning again in Fall, we ended up about 10″ short in 2011 compared with 2010 primarily due to the 25″ 2/6/2010 event known as Snowmaggedon. 2011′s largest snowfall was the 10″ Commutageddon Snowfall on 1/26/2011.

Both 2010 and 2011 featured 14 snow events measured at Old Dominion Wildlife Headquarters located in the Blue Ridge Mountains near the border of Warren and Fauquier Counties. Note: Trace events were not recorded.

I put together a couple tables and chart showing fall snow data over the past three fall seasons. Measurements were taken at Old Dominion Wildlife Headquarters, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia near the border of Warren and Fauquier Counties. I thought it was interesting that this year was actually running ahead of the 2009-2011 winter until the December 19, 2009 snowstorm aka Snowpocalypse.
