Did You Know...

The all-time world record for the largest snowfall in a single day was set in the United States on December 4, 1913, when Georgetown, Colorado received a staggering 63" of snow - more than five feet!

No snowstorm in nearly 100 years has dumped more snow in one day, though two other U.S. storms have come close.

On December 29, 1955, 62" of snow fell on Thompson Pass, Alaska, coming a single inch shy of tying the 1913 record.

The third largest single-day snowfall occurred January 19, 1933, smack in the middle of the other two records, when 60" fell on Giant Forest, California.
