A blizzard swept through northeast of the country over Christmas and dumped over 50 inches of snow in Pennsylvania in two days, shattering many records.
Erie, Pennsylvania was hammered by a lake-effect snowstorm on Christmas day until Tuesday, Dec. 26, and received 34 inches of snow on Christmas day alone smashing Erie’s daily snowfall record. The previous record was 20 inches set on Nov. 22, 1956. It then picked up another 19 inches of snow within six hours of the next day which brings the snow total to an incredible 53 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
