OK, I thought with the snow contest being this close that it would be interesting to see how an average (no such thing as average ) April is for the Top 7 cities in the snow contest this season.

Below is how April normally plays out for the cities listed including what the record snowfall is for April and the season that it happened. I went with the current Top 7 snowiest big cities in the country as of 4/2/2015.

I was a little surprised to see that Rochester, New York on average receives the most snow in April out of the cities listed below. I was also surprised to see that Rochester and Boston have the highest snowfall for April in the past seasons. With the National snow contest this close, it will be fun to see how April plays out

All of the stats are from the National Weather Service. The dates next to the city name is the date that the NWS started keeping records for that city I believe.
