Yup, the Twin Cities is in the 18-24" category, which could put it at 2-4 on the record list. We've had maybe 5-6" so far with the heavy stuff coming tonight.
My daughter was born at the tail end of #1. It was a stressful storm for us. #14 last month was just what the name implies: wet, heavy snow over 2-3 days which got packed down before plows could get to it, etc. Minneapolis and St. Paul streets still haven't fully recovered from that one, nor have many of my bike routes.
