February is typically the snowiest month in Washington, D.C., with an average of 5.0 inches based on 1991-2020 climate normals (NOAA NCEI). However, February snowfall totals vary considerably from year to year, ranging from trace amounts to over 30 inches in extreme cases (NWS Baltimore/Washington).

Historical data from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport shows that February snowfall has ranged from less than 0.25 inches in light years to over 5.7 inches in heavy years, with extreme outliers reaching 30-35 inches (Current Results). Recent Februarys have seen variable snowfall: February 2025 recorded 6.5 inches, marking the first above-average February since 2015, while February 2024 saw only 0.1 inches (WUSA9). Six of Washington, D.C.'s 10 largest snowstorms on record occurred in February, including the record "Snowmageddon" event in 2010 that brought 32.1 inches (WUSA9).
