If you heard of the term, "when it rains, it pours," the same can be said about snow. Some cities and even states get a hefty amount of the white stuff every year, but with climate change affecting weather across the country, several places are getting record-breaking amounts of snow over the last five years.
For those curious about which cities get more snow than others, Niche has you covered. Researchers "compiled a list of the top 25 snowiest cities in the contiguous United States — those boasting the most snowfall during the year. This ranking uses the 30-year average monthly snowfall totals as reported by NOAA, and only includes U.S. cities with a population above 50,000."
One Colorado city broke into the Top 10: Boulder! According to the website, the average snowfall this city gets is 88.3 inches, presumably within a year. The average high in January is 46.9 degrees, and the average low is 22.2 degrees.
Here are the Top 10 snowiest cities in America:
- Syracuse, New York
- Flagstaff, Arizona
- Erie, Pennsylvania
- Rochester, New York
- Buffalo, New York
- Boulder, Colorado
- Duluth, Minnesota
- Grand Rapids, Michigan
