Pattern The Great December Dump

DC gets some years where they get hammered and other years where they get hardly nothing. It's feast or famine there. Reagan National had 17" last winter, but only 8" in 2017-18 and only 3" in 2016-17.
I'm sure many of us would gladly take 3" in the winter. But yeah climatology is different for them. Snow is pretty much guaranteed if you live north of NC while for us it is special.
 
No way that is correct, the 2017 snow alone would have put it a least close to normal.
I'm skeptical also. The area that was the most below normal for snowfall was the area that got hit hardest in the Dec 2017 snowstorm right ? Didn't some areas get close to a foot ?

This is a map from the midwestern regional climate center and checking the official reporting stations nearby it’s not that far off from what I can tell.
The big caveat being for stations that actually reliably report snowfall, it’s slim pickings at some points in the last decade, very frustrating really.

Yeah something is bad wrong by my calculations in Cleburne county where the 25-50% is centered received at least 25” since January 2010 and I may have forgotten a event or two.

Yeah there’s hardly any official reporting stations down there that have actually reported snow the entire decade
