Record-Breaking Snowfall Buries Binghamton, New York, And Here’s What People Woke Up To (30 Pics)
The world seems perfect at least for a moment when you sit by the fireplace, listening to Frank Sinatra’s “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!,” totally in for the Christmas spirit that brings you back to your childhood memories. But as they say, be careful what you wish for, ‘cause you can indeed get a (tiny bit) too much snowy goodness.
Just like it happened in Binghamton, New York, where a staggering 20.5 inches of snow fell in just six hours, burying the city under 41 inches of snow. So on Thursday morning, at around 6:40 am, the residents woke up to realize they would have to dig themselves out by snowblower, snowplow, or shovel.
The snowstorm is said to be a record-breaker, with the second biggest of 35.3 inches documented three years ago, in March 2017. New York City was also hit by heavy snowfall overnight, with 10 inches falling in Central Park by 8 am, according to the National Weather Service.
Meanwhile, other states like Vermont and Pennsylvania have logged more than 40 inches, with the very northern part of the state reaching 43 inches. So yep, it seems like you can get too much of a good thing, I mean, snow.

The first pic is usually the max amount that we get in WA, VERY occasionally it gets to a couple inches more than that though.

Clean the roof of your car! If you stop at a traffic light the snow could hit anything and anyone in front of you.

Modern art. White - black, light - shadow, hard - soft, permanent - transient, straight lines - soft and rounded shapes. I could see this phot on my wall.

All I can say is, thank God that storm went southeast of the Great Lakes and totally missed southern Ontario!

Idk why but the green makes this so appealing. Maybe because I relate so hard to this right now. Our city is struggling to clear the snow as well

Kjorn, I finally understand why so many people in snowy areas head to the southern U.S. during the winter. As a senior citizen, I would hate to have to deal with weather like that! My back would give out with the first shovel-full of snow I tried to move!

We got about a 1/3 of that in CT. It was hard to tell because of crazy wind gusts but i got about 10-12in at my house. Nothing compared to 30+ but its like a curse here in the NE. We'll get a big and/or decent size one, then we'll get a bunch of smaller ones (like 4in here, 8in there types), then we'll get another big one or something & you run out of places to put the snow by like storm 3! Everyone & everything has 6ft tall snow piles eating up their grass space & its such a PITA to clear it!! Cant wait to move somewhere where snow is just a memory! Lol!
