It may have seemed like something of a joke when Spike Mendelsohn called D.C. a “second-tier” city, but he was way off — we’re a 24th-tier city.

According to the Capital Weather Gang, we ranked second-to-last on a list of snowfall in 25 cities in the continental U.S. Our balmy winter has been such that we’ve only gotten 17 percent of the usual winter snowfall; only Baltimore has gotten less snow, at 11 percent. (In terms of inches, we’re at two for the winter; our usual snowfall measures over 12 inches.)

We’re not alone, though — there are snowfall deficits across the country, from the Northeast to the Midwest and most places in between. Only three cities in the continental U.S. have gotten more snow than usual this winter: Rapid City, Cheyenne and Denver, which stand at 101, 144 and 160 percent, respectively.

By the way, at the time of this writing it’s 54 degrees. It’s going to reach 66. Yay for winter deficits!
