Christmas storm brought record amounts of snow in Pennsylvania, specifically the city of Erie, burying homes and cars under 1.3 meter layer of snow (53 inches).
As reported by the national weather service in Cleveland, the snow storm began on Monday, then stopped. And night and early Tuesday morning, December 26, she continued.
As a result, the city received up to 53 inches of snow and it is a record of Pennsylvania in the history of weather observations. The previous record was recorded in Morgantown when, in March 1958 there dropped 44 inches of snow.
In General, the States of the northeast and Midwest expect cold.
So, in new York the temperature is slightly below 0°C, and forecasters warn of a cold wind in this state, as in Vermont, Maine and new Hampshire. According to forecasters, frostbite on the wind you can get in just 30 minutes.

I grew up in Erie, PA but have never seen snow like we’ve had here in the last 24 hours. It’s crazy that there’s hardly any back in Cleveland right now. Here’s the obligatory patio table photo. pic.twitter.com/13CuOTwnf3
