Precipitation amount @ weather.noaa.gov

If you visit http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/UUEE.html it currently says:

Precipitation amount
51.20 inches In the 24 hours preceding Feb 28, 2006 - 11:30 AM EST / 2006.02.28 1630 UTC


Now clearly they have not has 51.2 inches of snow today. In fact most days it says 50-something inches. Am I missing something obvious here?
