Snowfall totals broke records in Erie, Pennsylvania, as snow covered much of the northeastern United States on Christmas.

From 7 p.m. on Dec. 24 to 7 p.m. Dec. 26, Erie had received 60.5 inches of snow, which shattered numerous records for the city. Nearly all of this snow fell on Monday and Tuesday.

“This is now the biggest two-day snow total on record for Pennsylvania, besting the old record of 44 inches, which was set in Morgantown from March 20-21, 1958,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Bill Deger said.

Yeah...I’m good with the five inches of snow we got in Louisiana. That was enough to enjoy.

I flew up here on Christmas Day. Had to drive from Buffalo Airport to Jamestown NY (40 miles east of Erie).

It took me about 3.5 hours to drive what normally would take one hour. It was the worst conditions I have ever driven in with blowing,drifting snow, wind and ice on the roads. I lived in Cleveland for ten years and had seen some pretty trecherous conditions, but this took the cake.

It’s nasty and cold.

We make a trip from Massachusetts to Louisiana twice a year. Last time we drove back in the summer, when weather allows, we went through Upstate Ny-Buffalo-Eerie-Cleveland-and down through Ohio. Anyway, driving from Buffalo to Cleveland was the creepiest thing imaginable. It was like Chernobyl. Complete ghost-town like. Creepy drive

It doesn't look like the most attractive place to live.

Aside from the crappy economics of the area, I don't think I could handle a winter where snow like this is possible.

I'm not really sure what you're supposed to do? Doesn't look like anyone has left their homes.

I’m not too learned on snow melt rates and what not. How likely is it for that area to get warm enough long enough to see a flood?

Wait for the snowplows and pull out your snowblower.

Flood Lake Erie? They'll need a lot more snow for that.

I think 6 feet of snow equates to 6” of rain. I doubt it floods

That'll probably cause a huge electric bill for the heating:
