More than 80 inches of snow fell on Hamburg and Orchard Park during the storm that paralyzed parts of the from Wednesday to Sunday, the National Weather Service said.

The agency released the unofficial snowfall totals for all counties in New York State that saw snow accumulation as part of the storm. The Weather Service counts snow that fell between Wednesday night and Sunday night.

The highest total was reported by an observer in Hamburg, where 81.2 inches of snow accumulation was recorded, followed by Orchard Park, which registered 80 inches exactly. That translates into more than 6½ feet in those areas.

While many anticipate the storm will set new snowfall records in parts of Erie County, the Weather Service report remains unofficial until a team of climatologists can review the data and separately verify whether these figures set any county or state records.

I can't even imagine that much snow falling in just a couple of days. They got 30" in my old East Grand Rapids, Michigan neighborhood, but we only got 9" here in Lansing. Amazing.
