Explanation:
[STC001904] It may surprise you to learn that the state of Alaska does not contain the major city in the United States that receives the greatest amount of annual snowfall on average. To be more specific, the location is in the state of New York. The Climactic Data Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provided the data that was used by Weather.com to determine that Syracuse received an average annual snowfall of more than 120 inches between the years 1991 and 2010, which is the most recent 30-year period for which data is available. That places it at the top spot on the list of cities in the United States with a population of 100,000 people or more. (There are snowier sites in other states, including Alaska, but they do not meet that 100,000 criterion of annual snowfall.) According to Weather.com, the snowiest season ever recorded in the city was the winter of 1992 to 1993, which received more than 192.1 inches of snowfall throughout the course of the season. On February 15, 1946, the region was buried in 34 inches of snow, making that day the snowiest day ever recorded there. The second snowiest major city on the list is Erie, which had an average of around 100 inches of snow per year for the same time period.
