The best lake effect snow I've seen was in Tahoe. I was there for a 1 week trip and it snowed 8ft that week. I've never seen 8 feet in the NE except maybe Jay peak VT.

A quick search of average snowfall shows Syracuse NY tops the chart with 115.6 " annually!

 

I lived in Grand Rapids Mi for a couple of years and I thought they would be near that amount, it seemed like the sun disappeared for months at a time! They "only" get 73.4 ".

 

One year, when my mother was ill, I took my wife to Michigan. It was in February and the temp was 0 with a wind chill of -30! Being a native Californian she vowed to never, ever return to the Great Lake state! I tried to convince her that spring time is beautiful in Michigan but she says yeah "so is Santa Barbara".

 

I gotta get back up there this year, haven't seen some of those folks in almost 20 years. That will have to wait until the thaw.

 

Today, I'm off to Pebble Beach for the Pro Am Golf tournament!

Having grown up and lived outside of Boston for over 3 deacdes, I will agree people can't drive on nice day, but add snow and you would think everyone was a Rhode Island driver....it's awful!

Over 16 feet? That's a lot of snow!

 

The search I did that showed Syracuse NY as the top Average annually was for cities with 50,000 +

in population.

 

Is that Cooke City total the yearly average or this years total?

It's the yearly average in Cooke City. It's WAY up in the mountains, in fact the road closes once you get there in the winter and you can't go any further until spring.

 

Here is a picture of the road when they open it in the spring. You can google beartooth pass snow and find many more pictures.

It snowed at my folks house this last Memorial Day. It's definately different there.

Well Cooke City can take the title, they just need 48,860 people to move there.
