As cities across the Northeast prepare for a massive blizzard, we wanted to bring you the cold, hard facts on some of the country's coldest, hardest storms.
Some of the statistics are surprising. For instance, even if parts of the East Coast get slammed with three feet of snow as expected, that wouldn't come close to the record for the most snowfall in a 24-hour period.
