Christmas Snowstorm Shatters Records in Erie, Pennsylvania
A snowstorm on Christmas day buried Erie, Pennsylvania in 34 inches of snow in under 24 hours, breaking the city's previous record of 20 inches back in 1956 for a single day's snowfall.
The snow hasn't stopped yet, either.
Several more feet of snow fell on Tuesday, bringing the total up to 58 inches, which is also the highest two-day snowfall in all of Pennsylvania, according to the National Weather Service.
With an additional 3.5" of snow at the Erie, PA airport as of 5PM, this brings the two day (12/25-26) total up to 58" and the storm total (From 7PM Christmas Eve thru 5PM 12/26) up to 60.0". Heavy snow continues to fall. Here is a look at some of the records. #pawx pic.twitter.com/BN5txOpByZ
