GHD 2011 was awesome. Other storms have had larger totals, but it's the only storm in my lifetime where the accumulation occurred in a short period ( well over a foot in a 12 hour period ) accompanied by true blizzard conditions. Most storms the "blizzard force" wind only comes on the back end when the snow is winding down, or the snow accumulates over several periods stretching well over 24 hours. With that storm everything happened at once, mostly in a 12 hour period. It was a good storm, even with *only* 14-17 inch totals here as opposed to the 20" in Chicago. Getting 20"+ lake effect fluff over 72hours just isn't the same as a genuine synoptic storm.
