That much would bring this country to a standstill. Those in charge wouldn't know what to do.According to the National Weather Service in the States;"
Heavy Snow
This generally means...
- snowfall accumulating to 4" or more in depth in 12 hours or less; or
- snowfall accumulating to 6" or more in depth in 24 hours or less
In forecasts, snowfall amounts are expressed as a range of values, e.g., "8 to 12 inches." However, in heavy snow situations where there is considerable uncertainty concerning the range of values, more appropriate phrases are used, such as "...up to 12 inches..." or alternatively "...8 inches or more..."."
But I would say any snow over 8 inches in a single storm situation. But I'm used to more snow than some others.
