Heaviest Snow: One day in Rochester got 4 feet of snow in the mid 90s, house was snowed in, so I couldn't go to school and parents couldn't go to work until our plow guy showed up the next day

I know, I made my version of it because I was bored.

106 F in Kentucky back in 2012 (?) I think it was 2012; there was an entire week of weather over 100 F. ::

Hailstorm with hail slightly smaller than the size of ping pong balls in Iowa back in the early 80's. Can't recall the exact year but I was around 12 or 13 so 1982 or 1983.

Hurricane Hugo in South Carolina-1989

Hurricane Andrew in Louisiana-1992

Flash flooding in Binghamton, NY-2017 (just freaking horrifying)

61" of snow in 2 nights-2017

-35F windchill in Des Moines Iowa or -30 windchills in Tupper Lake, NY. Felt about the same

For temperatures I felt myself and not forecasted lows that I was asleep for:



107 in Fort Worth, Texas. August 2015
-26 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. January 2019


I am not sure about most rain or wind or anything, but I experienced both hurricanes Katrina and Wilma in Miami, Florida in 2005.


I also experienced record rain for the city of Abilene, Texas in July 2015 (over 8 inches in a day)


Most snow I've seen from a single storm would be about 14 inches, Saint Paul in Minnesota. April 2018.



Snowiest month I've ever experienced was February 2019 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. 39 inches.



Deepest snowpack was that following March when it peaked at about 45 inches or so before it started melting.


Coldest windchill I felt was about -50/-60 or so in Saint Paul on January 2019.

I'm sure you've gotten more than 3 inches of rain a day in upstate NY.

If we had, I wasn't there for it. I only lived there from 12/82 until 6/01

Water spout come onshore was the worst wind i saw, maybe 90mph. Never had a hurricane yet in my part of FL since 1963 when i was born and next up was the no name storm with winds of 80mph on March 13th 1993. So nothing bad ever in my part of FL yet.

I've never experienced any extreme temperatures or weather living in the UK, but I suppose if you counted "extreme cloudiness", then yes I have. I've had summer months with less than 60 hours of sun in Northern England.
