So, this happened
(CNN) There’s White Christmas. And then there’s Whiteout Christmas.
Erie, Pennsylvania, experienced the second one 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.
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 Nov. 22, 1956.
The snow didn’t stop overnight, either.
Erie picked up another 19 inches of snow on Tuesday morning, making for a total ongoing snowfall total of 53 inches. That is the highest two-day snowfall total in the entire state of Pennsylvania, according to the National Weather Service.
Fun

To the people who think that this disproves global warming:
Warmer temps cause Lake Erie to not freeze, leading to increased snowfalls because more evaporating water from the lake is available for precipitation.
Extreme weather events of all kinds are climate change side effects.— Storyteller ? ???? (@nkhummel) December 26, 2017

That’s enough. You get the idea. It’s just weather, folks. The earth is not doomed from carbon pollution.
