01:17 Making Snowflakes Any Time of the Year The Weather Channel meteorologist Kelly Cass looks at how you can make a snowflake any season of the year.

At a Glance Heavy snow pounded Erie, Pennsylvania, just days after receiving 5 feet of snow around Christmas.

Numerous records were shattered in Erie from the Christmas lake-effect snow event.

This next round of snow only added to the snow-removal headaches.

Snow-fatigued Erie, Pennsylvania , was bombarded with over a foot of additional lake-effect snow Dec. 29 and 30, just days after a record siege of more than 5 feet of snow around the Christmas holiday .

Dec. 29, bands of lake-effect snow redeveloped east and southeast of Lake Erie in northeastern Ohio, northwestern Pennsylvania and southwestern New York and continued through much of Dec. 30.

Through 5 p.m. EST on Dec. 30, these bands delivered another 17.7 inches of snowfall to Erie International Airport. Since the initial heavy lake-effect snowbands starting hammering Erie on Christmas Eve, it has now picked up a whopping 83.8 inches of snow in just under six days' time.

Christmas Week Historic Lake-Effect Snow

From Christmas Eve through the morning of Dec. 27, Erie's snow total was an astounding 65.1 inches. A stationary lake-effect snow band off Lake Erie dumped an incredible 34 inches of snow at Erie Airport on Christmas Day alone, with an additional 26.5 inches on Dec. 26.

This prolific event shattered several snowfall records that date back to 1893 in Erie, as well as a Pennsylvania state record, according to the National Weather Service office in Cleveland :

All-time record for two-day snowfall in the state of Pennsylvania: 60.5 inches (Dec. 25-26); previous record was 44 inches in Morgantown on March 20-21, 1958

All-time record for snow in any single day in Erie: 34 inches (Dec. 25); previous record was 20 inches on Nov. 22, 1956

24-hour snowfall record for Dec. 25 in Erie: 34 inches; previous record was 8.1 inches in 2002

24-hour snowfall record for Dec. 26 in Erie: 26.5 inches; previous record was 8.2 inches in 1926

Erie's records for two-day, three-day, seven-day and 13-day snowfall were also broken during this lake-effect event.

Two-day snowfall: 26.7 inches (Nov. 24-25, 1950; the "Great Appalachian Storm")

Three-day snowfall : 30.2 inches (Dec. 29-31, 2002)

Seven-day snowfall: 39.8 inches (Dec. 27, 2001-Jan. 2, 2002)

13-day snowfall: 52.8 inches (Dec. 31, 1998-Jan. 12, 1999)

That's not a misprint. Erie picked up more snow in less than 36 hours in this event than its previous 13-day snowstorm record.

Needless to say, the 120.8 inches of snow so far in December (as of 5 p.m. EST on Dec. 30) is the city's snowiest single month on record, clobbering the previous record of 66.9 inches in December 1989 by over 4 feet.

This is also more snow in one month than Erie averages in an entire winter season – 100.9 inches.

What's more, this is also the snowiest month on record anywhere in Pennsylvania, according to the Pennsylvania state climatologist . The previous record was 113 inches in February 2010 at Laurel Summit in Somerset County.

This wasn't just a record-breaking event in Erie.

In central New York's Tug Hill Plateau, a 48-hour snowfall record for Oswego County may have been broken, with 62.2 inches of snow near the town of Redfield.

Finally, Muskegon, Michigan, picked up 14.7 inches of snow on Dec. 29 alone, good enough for its top-10 snowiest day on record , according to the National Weather Service.
