Snowfall vs. Last Season

Here in State College, PA, despite model estimates of 30-40 inches, we ended up with about 13.5" at my house, the heaviest snow since I moved to the west side of town in 2006. 2010 was the previous record holder with about 12.5, so we look back 17 years to 2003 to find a bigger storm here.
