Golden Snow Globe Cities with Most Rainfall and Hottest Temperatures
I thought it would be interesting to see which of the cities that were in the Golden Snow Globe contest got the most rain during the year. I am also curious about which city will have the hottest day on record and also which city receives the most 90 degree days. Yeah, I’m opening up another can of worms for myself but it should be fun 
IMPORTANT – Keep in mind that unlike the snowiest Big city in the United States this contest isn’t going to be about the rainiest city in the US. The cities in this contest and it’s really not even a contest are just the cities that have at one time or another been in the line-up in the snow contest. Yes, not fair and all of that but it’s just for fun to see how some of the snowiest cities do with rainfall compared to how they do with snow
