A snow record was confirmed for Delaware. It just took 11 years and a federal investigation. Anthony R. Wood, The Philadelphia Inquirer
It took more than a decade to declare a winner and resolve this mystery of the deep, but Delaware has a new snow-depth champion.
After an investigation, the National Center for Environmental Information on Wednesday declared that the 28 inches measured in the Greenwood area, in central Delaware, on Feb. 7, 2010, was the deepest snow cover ever observed in the Diamond State.
That depth was achieved after a profoundly heavy snowfall more than 2 feet officially in Wilmington on Feb. 5 and 6. That was followed by another heavy snow on the 9th and 10th, but evidently the depth didn’t quite measure up.
