We are up for a blizzard here in New England tonight and tomorrow what is the most snow you have seen from one storm in your area?

I lived in Denver Colorado in 2006-2007 and witnessed the 'Holiday Blizzard part I and II" that year. The first part of the storm came just a few days before Christmas dumping close to three feet. Denver International Airport was closed.

All the major interstate highways were crippled. The city came to a stand still. People couldn't even leave the airport since the only road in and out was covered in huge snow drifts.

I remember seeing so many people stuck at the airport and barely getting out for the holidays. It was also the first year I suffered from cabin fever. I lived in a small one bedroom house on a corner lot.

It took me about 3 days to dig a path from the front door to the back door which is mandatory in Denver after any snow fall. As soon as I shoveled and cleared all areas around my property... the second half of the storm came through erasing all my hard work. I just hope the blizzard that's expected to hit you tonight doesn't come with a twin sibling.

I can tell that your storm pattern is moving slowly. That same storm came through the Gulf region and stayed for about 5 days with cold icy rain. Let's just hope that it doesn't stay that long at your house.

One of the largest I recall for my actual area in Alaska I couldn't find record of.. I did find an article from Anchorage a few hours away for the same storm... ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=5889112 It puts the storm throwing out around 15 to 17 inches in 24 hours back in January of 07. I seemed to remember one from 02 that was 28.6 inches according to wiki.. but the source had disappeared from ADN's website. I remember one that seemed bigger than that in the 90's but I can't seem to find mention of it.

I remember not being able to open my front door. My dad had us climb out a window and dig it out. For all of Alaska though... Quote--------- Snowfall extremes are all credited to a station at Thompson Pass, which is on the highway north of Valdez.

The record measurements are: season (1952-53) 974.5 inches; month (February 1953) 298 inches; and 24-hour (December 1955) 62 inches. End Quote-------------- more of the same storm... Quote--------- The largest single snowstorm on record, though, fell on parts of Alaska in 1955. This storm lasted five days, and left over 175 inches of snow on the ground — that's more than 141/2 feet!

End Quote----------------- http://www.bigsiteofamazingfacts.com/what-was-the-heaviest-snowfall-on-record I should note I wasn't alive at this point and Valdez is kinda far from me. I have been there though.. no fun. http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/narratives/ALASKA.htm The red dot is Thompson Pass/Valdez.. I live next to the "Kenai" dot (about 10 miles away)

I was born and raised in northwestern PA. For those not familiar, this area is snuggled against Lake Erie and lake effect snow can drop enough to close the Buffalo and Cleveland airports. So as a kid I can remember in the mid 80's we had snow drifts that swept up to the roof of our garage.

But I since relocating to the southern coast here in MA I can relate to the folks here being of a completely different mindset. When I was in school I can remember the snowplows leading the way so the buses could get us to school. Here, as soon as the first flake hits the ground, people panic.

Granted this time of year is one where motorists need to take caution and frigid temperatures can be fatal, but the panic that sets in here is insane. And buddawiggi, not sure how much you got in NH, but I'm staring at about 12 - 16 inches of white cottony snow...and still falling. I love it!

Merry Christmas all!

The record accumulation for a single storm here in Chicago was 23 inches on Jan 26-27, 1967. Hoping we see nothing like that this year.

I've lived in Iowa my entire life and as far as I can remember the worst snow accumulation was this year at a little more than a foot. It seems like it should be way more than that, but hey that's Iowa for you. Makes the snowmobiling AWESOME!

Hell I live in SOCAL. We had now in Malibu in 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUVF9z0Te3E amazing.

It seems pretty typical to get at least one good 8-12" dumping each winter in Madison, WI. Earlier this month, however, we had our largest in a while, accumulating over 19" of snow overnight on December 8th/9th. Classes at the University of Wisconsin were canceled in advance for the first time in nearly 45 years.

Luckily, we knew how to make the best of it.

The most I've ever seen, here in Kentucky was in March of 1993. It was 18 inches of snow. However, it was nothing compared to the ice storm we received last January which was horrible.

It sounded like a war zone from all the tree branches snapping off. It looked a war zone as well. Left over 400,000 in Kentucky without electric.

These pictures were taken in my yard

It was a foot maybe as much as a foot and a half. School was out for 3 or 4 days.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
