Here are some other notables on 24-hour snowfall records in the U.S.:
Oldest records: The two records that have stood the longest are 36 inches in Astoria, Illinois, during the 24 hours ending Feb. 28, 1900, and 49 inches at Watertown, New York, Nov. 14-15, 1900.
Two states with less than a foot in 24 hours: Florida and Hawaii are the only two states with record 24-hour snowfall totals of less than one foot. No official records exist, but Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on Hawaii's Big Island may have seen a foot or more of snow in 24 hours. Florida's record 24-hour snow was 4 inches near Milton, which oddly occurred in early March 1954.
Unofficial higher totals in some states: A few states have unofficial higher snowfall totals not recognized by NOAA. This includes a 55.5-inch total at Alta Guard Station in Utah Jan. 5-6, 1991, and a 54-inch total in New York's Tug Hill Plateau in January 1976. Finally, Louisiana's 24-hour total may be higher than the 13 inches NOAA has for the state. Winter storms in February 1898 and December 1929 may have topped it, but data from those storms is not reliable.
87 inches
A snowfall of 87 inches in 27½ hours on April 14â€"15, 1921, was reported at Silver Lake, Colo. This snowfall, if correctly measured, exceeds others generally accepted as being record values for the United States.
