Snow Snow Go Away

As my friends can probably tell you, I love the weather (or just data in general). I actually love it so much that I normally run models on it and show historical data. With the All-Break halting sports statistics I figured I would share some weather data, visually and tell you some neat facts at that.

The graph below is of DC's snow fall, with Years : Current, Average,Last and the record amounts.

Lowest snowfall in DC history was 2.2 inches in 1972
Since 1950, DC has only received less than 10 inches 18 times.
The most amount of snow in a season was 2009-2010 with over 73 inches of snow.
A perfect storm, if it snowed the high, for every month there would be 133 inches of snow!

Now i am not from New York, but I have a few friends that live in the city, and complained how much snow they got this season. So i figured i would do the same analysis of their city as well.

Lowest snowfall in DC history was 2.8 inches in 1972 (as well!)
The most amount of snow in a season was 1995-1996 with over 75 inches of snow.
A perfect storm, if it snowed the high, for every month there would be 154inches of snow!
