Capracotta, a town in Italy saw over 100 inches of snow in less than 24 hours last week. This has a chance to break the record daily snowfall currently held by a town in Colorado. For everyone in Kentucky complaining about the snow last week, try shoveling 101 inches off your porch!
“According to Meteoweb.eu, 256 centimeters (100.8 inches) of snow was measured in about an 18-hour period in the town of Capracotta, Italy, on Thursday, March 5, 2015. Capracotta (population about 1,000) is located about 90 miles east of central Rome in the Apennine Mountains, at an elevation of 4,662 feet (1,421 meters) above sea level.”
