I was barely old enough to recall this event, but I seem to recall a
major single snow storm in the late 70s in the Pittsburgh PA region.

The closest thing I can find on this is a monthly snow chart for these
years.. I noticed one chart showed 42 inches of snow Jan of 77.. Is
this correct, did we receive this much at one time (what was the year/
storm/amount if it wasnt jan of 77)?

Anyone out there know where I could find specific day to day snow
totals based on months/years as far back as say 76?

Thanks
