mayjawintastawm Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 http://www.forbes.co...ss_slide_2.html Denver is number 1 with 60.3 inches. Except not this year. And unlike many places in the East, it melts or sublimates relatively quickly. As the locals say, "it never snows on snow" here. But the mountains, that's another story.

Eduardo Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Where's Buffalo? Is it not considered a "big city"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 not sure about Denver but it seems like there's always snow on the ground in Salt Lake City whenever I drive through in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 The thing about Denver is that, one day it can be 70 degrees and the next day they can get a big snowstorm. What a weird climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baroclinic_instability Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 not sure about Denver but it seems like there's always snow on the ground in Salt Lake City whenever I drive through in the winter. I doubt they consider SLC a "big city" even though the Wasatch Front is home to more than 2 million people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatwad Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Pittsburgh's number seven on that list at 43" average. Boston's number six at 43.2" average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I'm trying to think of a metro area anywhere in the world with a larger population than Toronto AND that averages more snow. Toronto metro: 5.1 million and 52.4" of snow. The only one that comes to the top of my head is Moscow. That city is more than twice the size but I can't find any info on how much snow they receive.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 ...so? NYC is the largest metro in the world with as much snow as it gets as well (20+ million, 28"). Yeah, that's true. NYC metro area = 4 times the population of Toronto, but just a little over half the average snowfall. For the "impact" of the snow to be proportionate between the two cities, NYC would have to average 1/4 the snow. Since you average more than 1/4, you win! I think that's a valid assessment, but I'm no statistician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
