This storm was a record breaker for me. I started working for the National
Weather Service in October of 1997 which is when I started this weather page.
Though I can't say what happened before October of 1997, I can say that
since October of 1997 we have never had as much snow come in a 24 hour
period (24") nor have we had this much snow on the ground (31").
The closest we have come to this storm was the storm of Saturday, February
16th, 2003 through Tuesday, February 18th, 2003. During that storm we had
6.1" fall by Sunday morning, February 16th, another 18.7" fell by
Monday morning, February 17th, and another 2.5" by Tuesday morning,
February 18th. That was a total of 27.3" over three days. With what was
already on the ground before that storm started, and after some settling, we
had 28" of snow on the ground.
In this storm we had 24" fall by Saturday morning with another
4.2" falling on Saturday until 4 P.M., when the storm ended, for a total
of 28.2" by Sunday morning. With what was already on the ground and after
some settling, we had 31" on the ground Sunday morning.
Had this snow fallen as rain it would have been equivalent to 2.97" of
rain and probably would have caused severe flooding. Perhaps having the
precipitation come as snow was a blessing in disguise.
