How RIDICULOUS is this: (from News 10 NBC’s website)
Rochester is nation’s snowiest city; Buffalo a close runner-up
According to data compiled by the National Snow and Ice Data Center, Rochester is the nation’s snowiest city, based on data through 1990. At that time it averaged 94 inches of snow a year. That’s the most for cities with more than 200,000 people. Buffalo is a close runner-up. In 1995, 39 inches of snow fell in just one day there. The one-day record for overall snow goes to Thompson Pass, Alaska. In one week in February, 1953 more than 15 feet, 187 inches, fell on the town.
