Well that's kind of what happened Wednesday at Alaska's Thompson Pass, outside of the town of Valdez, when an incredible 10 inches of snow piled up in one hour – around 1.7 inches every 10 minutes. This is an absolutely incredible snowfall rate.

The furious storm dropped another 5 inches in 30 minutes, for a remarkable 15 inches in a brief hour and a half period. In the end, 40 inches of heavy wet snow accumulated in 12 hours.

Dreaming of a White Christmas turned into a nightmare for some as holiday travel in Pennsylvania has been snarled by a record-breaking winter storm in Erie, Pa.

The National Weather Service says nearly three feet -- 34 inches -- of snow fell on Erie on Christmas Day Monday, the highest single-day total ever recorded. The city's previous record was 20 inches on Nov. 22 in 1956.

Snow continued to fall Tuesday morning, with another 19 inches between midnight and 6 a.m. That brought the snowstorm total to 53 inches in just 30 hours for the snowiest 2-day total ever recorded in the entire state of Pennsylvania.

According to the NWS, Erie's previous biggest snowstorms were 30.2 inches over three days in 2002 and 39.8 inches over seven days the previous winter.

GoErie.com reports the city of Erie declared a snow emergency Tuesday morning and the storm's not even over yet. A lake effect snow warning is in effect until 4 p.m. Wednesday, with up to 16 more inches of snow possible at a rate of up to 3 inches per hour.

According to CBS, Pennsylvania State Police is recommending all drivers stay off the roads in Erie County on Tuesday. The PennDOT has also issued a speed restriction for Interstate 79, between Meadville (Exit 147A) and Interstate 90.

Sharks are washing up on a beach in Massachusetts frozen completely solid amid a record-breaking cold snap in the United States.

The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy said it had found three dead thresher sharks stranded on the shore of the Cape Cod Bay in Brewster, south of Boston, in the last three days.

The first two were "likely stranded due to cold shock" it said. The third was frozen solid.

Thresher sharks are found all over the world and generally stay far away from the shore, in warmer waters.

"These sharks were most likely moving to the south with the warmer water and got caught in the hook of Cape Cod," the group said.

The minimum temperature for the Cape Cod region in December is usually about 1 degrees Celsius, but current forecasts have it reaching as low as -12C.

The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy said all three sharks would be examined once they thawed.

Meanwhile, sea turtles are also feeling the cold.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said it rescued more than a dozen sea turtles off the coast of Galveston Island that were "cold-stunned by freezing air temperatures".

The lethargic sea turtles were found by fisherman and taken to NOAA's Sea Turtle Hospital to recover.

"All 18 turtles were brought in for rehabilitation, where their body temperature was slowly increased prior to placement into water," the group said.
