Snowiest US Cities This Past Winter -- Or Where The Kennedys Can Take Their Grandchildren To See Snow -- March 12, 2015

As of February 12, 2015, according to The Washington Post, the five snowiest cities in the US, this winter (with "normal" at this point in time):
  • Syracuse, NY: 74.7 (87 inches)
  • Boston, MA: 78.5 (27.4 inches) -- WOW!
  • Erie, PA: 85.9 (73.6 inches)
  • Buffalo, NY: 86.4 (68.8 inches)
And the snowiest city in the US, so far, this year .... drum roll ...
  • Worcester, MA: 92.1 (40.6 inches) -- WOW!
Obviously the Kennedys won't have to travel far to show their kids and grandkids snow.

However, Syracuse.com is reporting:
We keep hearing about Boston and Massachusetts getting so much snow that people are diving out second-story windows.
We've heard about Syracuse being the center for last month's cold and snow. Who really has the most snow in the United States?
Lewis County's village of Copenhagen: 256.2 inches.
Copenhagen is in New York State. 
Syracuse.com's Glenn Coin took a ride up there Friday to let you see what it's like to live in a place that's has received more than 21 feet of snow.
We determined that small village got the most snow in the nation by gathering reports from more than 20,000 places in all 50 states collected by NOAA's Regional Climate Centers.
We also created a database that will let you look up snowfall totals throughout the nation, filtering by place and/or state.
See database at the linked article.
