What is the greatest 24 hour snowfall in Washington, DC?
Answer: The January 27-28, 1922 storm dumped 21 inches of
snow in DC in 24 hours and had a storm total of 28 inches. It is known as the
"Knickerbocker Storm" because the heavy snow caused the collapse of the
Knickerbocker theater during a performance. One hundred people died
inside.
