Ten years ago today, the District was inundated with over 32 inches of snow. Watch archived video of FOX 5's coverage of the weather event.

The blizzard continues to hold the single storm snowfall record at Dulles International Airport – where 32.4 inches of snow were recorded.

By contrast, the District area is on pace for the third least snowy winter on record.

So far, the DMV has accumulated .6 inches of snowfall.

Only two seasons saw less snow – 1997-1998 and 1972-1973.
