It’s officially the most snow in the District of Columbia since they started counting. That’s 126 years. If you’re counting, Chester A. Aurthur was president and on November 4, 1884, “Democrat Grover Cleveland defeats Republican James G. Blaine in a very close contest to win the first of his non-consecutive terms.”

As the snow totals have been steadily piling up, we’ve all been thinking that we can’t remember ever seeing this much snow in D.C. before. Well, now it’s official: no one has seen this much snow in D.C., at least not since Pat Collins‘ great-great-granddad started sticking yardsticks in area snowpacks back in 1884. As of 2:00 this afternoon, the National Weather Service is reporting that this is indeed the snowiest winter in recorded history for D.C., Baltimore, and Dulles.
