          The title is bad, since Russia gets 150 cm of snow on a average every year. For this to be decades worth of snow you’d have to find 20 years of really light snowfall. It’s comparing 50 vs 3000 and saying 50 is larger. For this to be the heaviest snowfall in decades makes a lot more sense.

      I don’t get it either. I’ve lived in places in the US that got 50-80 cm in a couple of days several times a season.

          We got 3’ in a day last year and we got less then others did. Then it melted by the next week. Lake effect is crazy.

      50cm for the month of December. This particular storm dropped 8 inches.

        The article even says that the storm they got is roughly 1/5th of the standard December snow.

        So they got a bit less than 1-week’s worth of snow in a day.

        “Decades” and 1-week’s worth are not the same thing.
