New York. More snow then I thought.

[BIG BLACK WARRIOR]

Just looking at a chart for snowiest cities in the US with populations over 50,000. New York had 12 of the top 25. . Of course none of the cities are in the Tug Hill area, off Lake Ontario which averages over 250" a year. I guess you could argue that Cheektowaga is in the Lake Erie snow belt area. Here is the chart:


1. Syracuse, NY (housing, pop. 140,658): 115.6 in
2. Clay, NY (housing, pop. 58,836): 115.6 in
3. Anchorage, AK (housing, pop. 278,700): 114.0 in
4. Utica, NY (housing, pop. 59,082): 108.2 in
5. Flagstaff, AZ (housing, pop. 58,213): 100.3 in
6. Coconino, AZ (housing, pop. 74,488): 100.3 in
7. Cheektowaga, NY (housing, pop. 79,988): 93.6 in
8. Amherst, NY (housing, pop. 116,773): 93.6 in
9. Buffalo, NY (housing, pop. 276,059): 93.6 in
10. Niagara Falls, NY (housing, pop. 52,326): 93.6 in
11. Rochester, NY (housing, pop. 208,123): 92.3 in
12. Irondequoit, NY (housing, pop. 52,354): 92.3 in
13. Erie, PA (housing, pop. 102,036): 88.8 in
14. Union, NY (housing, pop. 54,563): 81.8 in
15. Duluth, MN (housing, pop. 84,167): 80.7 in
16. Grand Rapids, MI (housing, pop. 193,083): 73.4 in
17. Wyoming, MI (housing, pop. 70,155): 73.4 in

One key factor in that list is that it is based on cities with populations over 50K. It would be more useful if it was based on geographical location.

Had a good dump of tempting snow in Chautauqua just before the holidays. I had to snow blow twice, about 18". Too bad we have to wait for hunting season to end.

Since I was fixing the sled carnage my kids created last year, I was too occupied to take a romp. I bet several did.

yes, we get a good amount of snow, pretty good trail system too!!! its only about a 30min drive from Syracuse to get to the snow belt and hit the trails to the Tug Hill..
