In many cities, this storm brought much more snowfall than the entire 2019-2020 season!
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.
