« Better Off With Snow | Main | White Christmas »
On Sunday morning on this date in 1960, the official forecast called for snow changing to rain.
The rain never came, but the snow kept coming. It snowed from late morning until around daybreak on the 12th.
By the time it stopped, 14.5 inches had fallen officially in Philadelphia, the most ever before the winter solistice.
The storm was followed by extreme cold, and two other 10-plus snowfalls later in the winter.
