How many years in the 80s had a ton of snow? 7 years over 10 inches total in the 80s, 6 in the 90s, 6 in the 00s, and 1 in the 10s so far.
The following identifies 2 major snow storms in the 80s, 3 in the 90s, and 3 since 2000: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/lwx/winter/DC-Winters.htm
I grew up here and it's pretty much the same as it's always been if not a bit more snowy these days.
warming should actually increase the chance of big snow storms by pumping more moisture into the air, but over time there will be less events.
