The Heaviest Snowfall Records in History

At Thompson Pass in Alaska, they enjoyed or suffered through, depending on your opinion, a great or horrific year in the winter of 1952-1953. That’s when 974.1 inches (81 feet) fell from heaven. What does 81 feet of snow look like? Well, take a 73 foot tractor trailer combo, which blasts down interstate 90 at 75 miles an hour, stand it on its end, and it would be under 8 feet of snow.
