All of the US City Snow Stats Were Last Updated 4/11/13
Below are most of the US cities and how much snow they have so far for the 2012 – 2013 season. We will try and update the snow stats as often as possible. There are still several cities in the United States missing as we try to locate their snowfall totals. For the time being we have left out many of the cities for the fact that unless something unexpectedly happens they most likely don’t have a shot at winning the Golden Snow Globe Award.
The first number is the current place the city is on the snow mountain. The second number is where the city was at the end of last update.. Once all of the cities have snow we will be changing it to where the city started this season and the latest place they are in. Just to give an idea of how the snowiest city is doing through out this snow season.

Syracuse does not measure in the city at all.. yes they are cheating.. the measurement is taken at the airport north of the city..and as far as 114inchs I only had to do my driveway 2xs this winter..I firmly believe that they be eliminated from compitition after all they are not measuring the city at all..they are taking credit for the village of north syracuse..hardly meets the pop criteria.
I should take umbrage at your need to use only large cities. I am northwest a bit from Syracuse and our snowfall this year is currently over 180″. We will likely hit 200 before the season ends. Fulton, NY
I live on a borderline town next to Worcester, and trust me, it’s alot more than you think.
Emily, are you saying that the snow where you live seems higher than what the National Weather Service is reporting or that 108 inches is a lot of snow?

What about adding Amarillo, TX, based on their recent storm? CNN is reporting 19 inches dropped in a single day in late February (http://edition.cnn.com/2013/02/25/us/weather-winter-storm ) and the 2010 census puts their population at roughly 190,000 according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amarillo,_Texas )
I currently live in Detroit and it’s been a strange snow season with 39.9″ of snow this year according to the stats provided here. I’m sure it’s true because Detroit doesn’t lie about snow totals like my hometown of Chicago does, but I’ve only had to shovel snow 2 or 3 times all season. I’m sure it’s possible since we’ve had so many 1′-2′ snowfalls. It’s just that we haven’t had a large amount of snow on the ground at any one time all season. It’s been a strange year. By the way I’d like to commend the owner of this site for doing such a great job and keeping it up to date the way they have.

All of these cities have a rather large population over 100,000. I come from an area of upstate New York where the cities and towns receive well over 114 inches of snow a year. When some of these large cities get a foot of snow they are paralyzed, whereas in my hometown of Watertown, NY this is just a minor nuisance.
The lake effect snow areas of Mi, Ny, In, Pa and Ontario get clobberd but we don’t here about it because it’s not a big deal to them and like you said not too many people live there.
You shouldn’t list anything below 5 inches. I’m hesitant to say that you should even list 5 inches. I’m from Colorado. Getting 5 inches is nothing but a wet road. You might as well be drivng in the rain.
The point for many of us is that we got such little snow this year so seeing 1.8 inches for Baltimore when we’re normally closer to 20 is quite useful. I’m from Western PA originally and really missed getting any real snow this year.
