As of 7AM this morning, @flyIPT made history – most snow from a single storm on record. Additional snow during the day today could widen the gap even further. #PAwx pic.twitter.com/fi7ghs4DQw

Snowfall timelapse from Apalachin, NY!
There were two trail cameras in time lapse mode. One appears to have died before the event, the other was buried in the backyard. After some digging I found it. Joy #nywx pic.twitter.com/BV6ku08F4Z

Ice accretion on Carter Mountain VA!
Some of the thickest #ice (up to an inch) I’ve ever seen in person atop Carter Mountain, overlooking Charlottesville! This is from the #IceStorm on Wednesday.
It reminds me of the ice storm of 1994 and 2003 in the Mid-Ohio Valley (lower elevation). 🧊 @NWS_BaltWash pic.twitter.com/DSRkLLaXlc

A man in Oswego, NY was buried in his car for 10 hours! Per an article in the Associated Press, Kevin Kresen, 58 had driven off the road after passing a snow plow. Per state police, he had been “plowed in by a truck.” From the article, “If he was in there for another hour his body temperature would have gone lower, and I’m convinced he wouldn’t have made it,” State Police Sgt. Jason Cawley, who rescued the man, said in an interview.
With the help of a stranger, parents-to-be Christine and Jay Barker were able to get the hospital in the midst of the winter storm to safely welcome their baby boy into the world. The couple from Roslindale, MA were buried in snow when the Christine realized she was in labor. She reached out to a community page and stranger came to the rescue. Per WCVB-TV, “There was one particular guy that ended up coming that we met only because he came, showed up at our house with a mask on, with a shovel, ready to help. Pat Hines, Pat Hines, our knight in shining armor.”
