Six years ago, the DC region was absolutely buried by the Snowzilla storm with 18-36" of snow
- one of the top 5 biggest on record. Quite a few spots in our western areas entered the 30" club from this storm. This collection of photos showcased some of the most phenomenal scenes...

In too deep: The craziest snow depths and drifts from Snowzilla
North and west of Washington, D.C.s Beltway, Snowzilla unloaded two to three feet of snow. Even inside the District itself, many places were buried under a solid two feet. Thats simply a staggering amount of snow. What fell in 36 hours was more snow than the region typically sees in an entire season.
Ive collected a series of images which really help convey the overwhelming depth of the snow.
Midwesterners like to poke fun at Washingtonians for not being able to handle snow, but their biggest snowstorms actually tend to produce less snow than great East Coast storms, since they dont have the Atlantic ocean as a moisture source.
