Can you please tell me where GSG gets its snowfall data? Is there a standard for all cities, such as the snowfall at the local airport, or perhaps official data provided by the National Weather Service? Randy

Northern Worcester County here, we are getting 6 more inches as I type.
I’ve heard about Erie, Ontario lake effects…but we earned #1 last year and look like a cinch for this year since the lakes are now frozen. My double wide drive is down to one lane…I hope we can wrap this up soon.
My guess is that Wachusett Mountain ski are will be open until May.

The million dollar highway between leadville and Interstate 70 is supposed to be the snowiest with a pass reaching 11,518ft.respectively in February has walls on each side of some of the road as high as 15 ft from the snow plows you feel like you’re driving in a tunnel with no sealing! an a average snowfall of around almost 400 inches annually wow!
