Yep, I just looked at the Edmonton records; the most snow they’ve ever gotten in one day is a piddly 10 inches, many locations in New England will have double that amount from this storm in a 24 hour period, with a lot of the snow that fell early being heavy and wet - I bet all the snow in Edmonton is fluffy powder.
Of course, mocking the East Coast is a cottage industry on FR.
The east coast ends just below DC, I guess.
Looking at 31 inches here in Conn. My backdeck is well protected, so I don't think it is from drifting, a fairly accurate snowfall total, though not official. Most we've ever gotten in one storm. Still snowing...
