The highest recorded amount of snowfall in a 24-hour period in the US occurred in 1921 in the town of Silver Lake, Colorado. 76 inches fell on April 14 and 15. A total of 87 inches fell during that storm, which only lasted about 28 hours.

The US record for the highest amount of snowfall in one storm is held by the Mount Shasta Ski Bowl, at 15.75 feet (480 cm), over the course of four days in February 1959.

I know what happened and it was acknowledged on TV then but I find no record of it on the web. Believe it or not in a February 1978 Baltimore, that's Maryland, folks, not Minnesota or Colorado, received 9 inches in the last hour of the storm. The storm had stalled right over the Cheasapeake Bay and just pumped the moisture in. It was so remarkable, my kids and I sat with the storm door opened against the 15 inches already on the ground and watched it accumulate.

The world (and USA) record for most snow in one 24 hour period is held by Silver Lake, Colorado, which received 76 inches of snow in 24 hours over April 14-15, 1921.

In reality, it is likely that even more has occurred (though not THAT much more...it is bordering on physically impossible) in places where no one was there to measure.
