Upside-down weather patterns mean more snow ahead for D.C.

The Washington region has seen snowfall records collapse in a succession of unprecedented storms, but residents shouldn’t let their guard down — more bursts of winter weather are forecast to flummox the area in the coming weeks.

The D.C. area has never experienced a winter like this one, at least since records were first kept in 1872. The mid-Atlantic, from D.C. to Philadelphia, has had snowfalls totals this winter typical of Alaska and Maine. And there is more to come. It is still February, after all, and the weather patterns causing all the white stuff have not changed.
