Reeder Custom Guns - Flagstaff in the top 7 snowiest cities in the U.S.

more than Anchorage AK with 90 inches of snow per year.

These are the seven snowiest cities in the U.S. based on the most recent 30-year climatological averages (1991-2020).

7. Anchorage, Alaska: 77.9 inches
Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska, kicks off our list of the seven snowiest cities in America. This probably isn't much of a surprise for a city so far north that has an average winter temperature of about 19 degrees.

6. Flagstaff, Arizona: 90.1 inches
Flagstaff – surrounded by desert, mountains and ponderosa pine forests – might not be a city you'd expect to find on this list. Sitting at 6,903 feet in elevation, Flagstaff is situated just south of the San Francisco Peaks, the tallest mountain range in Arizona.

5. Boulder, Colorado: 92.8 inches
Boulder is at the base of the Rocky Mountain foothills and sits at an elevation of 5,319 feet above sea level. It is the 12th most populous city in Colorado and is located some 25 miles northwest of Denver.

4. Buffalo, New York: 95.4 inches
Buffalo is the second-largest city in New York, behind only New York City at the opposite end of the state. It's located at the eastern end of Lake Erie, placing it in a prime spot for lake-effect snow off this Great Lake. However, Buffalo does not typically receive as much snow as two other cities to its east, Rochester and Syracuse.

WHAT IS LAKE-EFFECT SNOW?

3. Rochester, New York: 102.0 inches
Rochester, some 70 miles east of Buffalo, receives more than 100 inches of snow in a typical winter. Much of it comes in the form of lake-effect snow off Lake Erie to its southwest and Lake Ontario to its north.

2. Erie, Pennsylvania: 104.3 inches
Erie is situated on the immediate shoreline of Lake Erie in northwestern Pennsylvania. Snowbands off this Great Lake vault its average seasonal snowfall to more than 100 inches.

1. Syracuse, New York: 127.8 inches
Syracuse takes home the crown as the snowiest city in America, averaging 127.8 inches each winter. That's just shy of 11 feet of snow, most of which is courtesy of the large body of water to its northwest: Lake Ontario.

unfortunately they just seem to keep coming in. Driving their Prius and Element and the new Mercedes sport cars 15 to 20 mph UNDER the speed limit. There is a new housing area just down the road from the ghetto where I live and there are probably a dozen new houses being built or have already been built. They have to have at least 2 acres and the houses start at 1.5 million and most are well over that. And probably 90% of them so far are California liberals. I live about 10 miles outside city limits and it takes me a minimum of 20 minutes every morning to get to work due to these dregs of society driving well under the speed limit.

has about 300" of snowfall annually. This reporter should do more thorough research. Houses there have doors to the outside on the second or third story, without stairs going up to them.
