240cm (7.84 ft) in Pescocostanzo (which lies at 1,395 meters in the province of L’Aquila):
These are the two new records for snowfall in a span of only 24 hours, that is, in one day, although in reality all this snow fell in about 18 hours on Thursday, March 5, 2015.
And at higher altitudes, accumulations are much more significant.
The previous world record snowfall most snow in 24 hours was set in Silver Lake, Colorado, where between 20 and April 21, 1921 fell 193cm (6.33 ft) of snow in 24 hours.
