Did your father tell you about the snow up to his shoulders when he was little? Or, how the snow was up to the rooftops? From meteorologist Cory Mottice here is a map of each state's maximum-ever snow depth.
Never heard of "snow up to my shoulders." I did hear plenty of "up hill both ways through 2 feet of snow." Apparently there was no summer either - it was always dark and cold with snow.
I suspect this is a stunning example of lake effect; compare Illinois and Wisconsin to Michigan, for example. New York I'm guessing is hit hardest somewhere around Fort Drum.
More heavy rain (snow in the mountains) forecast. Rains have already begun over the southern two-thirds of the state. See 3:15pm radar below. In addition, there is small risk of a tornado, especially tomorrow morning, in coastal areas of Southern California, shown in dark green.
As much as 6 inches of precipitation (rain + the moisture content of snow) is forecast in the Sierra of California) during the next five days. Given the rain they've already had the past 30 days, it equates to an early start to the California rainy season.
The tornado forecast is unchanged from yesterday. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes and the hatching indicates they could be strong. During the next three days, more than five inches of rain is forecast to fall in Iowa (orange). The result is a serious flood risk over Iowa and into northwest Missouri in the dark blue. In the pale blue, there is a lesser flood risk.
