The snowless streak at Birmingham’s official reporting station came to an end as two inches of snow fell today at the Shuttlesworth – Birmingham International Airport.

It will go into the record books as a 3,319 day streak. There had not been measurable snow at the airport since January 28, 2000.

What made this streak remarkable was that it was 50% longer than the other previous streak in city history.
