The snowfall total was more than four times the city's previous all-time Christmas record of 8.1 inches, and it also broke the record for most snowfall in one day in the city's history, which was 20 inches on November 22, 1956. Erie, Pennsylvania, experienced the latter on Monday, when a total of 34 inches of snow fell on Christmas Day, blanketing the city and shattering the city's previous records for snowfall in a single day. pic.twitter.com/62E556pIBb — AMHQ (@AMHQ) December 26, 2017

– On Nov. 22, 1956, Erie, Pennsylvania, got buried by 20 inches of snow, reports CNN. That record was crushed on Christmas Day, when 34 inches covered the city ... and then kept falling. By 6am Tuesday, the total snowfall clocked in at 53 inches, which the National Weather Service tweeted is a state record for a two-day period; the previous record, from 1958, was the 44 inches that fell on Morgantown. And the lake-effect snow that brought the huge dump is set to continue through 4pm Wednesday, reports TribLive, with as much as another 16 inches coming.
