In PA, Lebanon County #1,....at least THEY say so.

Time again to discuss/disagree. SNOWIEST Counties in each state!
- Thread starter TheGLOV
- Start date
Not sure any county can be higher than Erie county. Erie gets the second most snow of any city in the US and the city isn’t even the snowiest part of the county...and it’s not even close.
I have a cousin that has a camp near Girard. I think they exceeded 100" of snow last year.
Dade County Florida is my guess.
But then again, that may be a different kind of snow.

They're using a rather strange way to determine the snowiest county: "average snowfall on days when it snowed during the winter months -- December, January, and February -- from 2016 to 2018"
So one county that got 2 inches on the only day that it snowed over those 3 months is snowier than one that got an inch every day over those same 3 months (and probably another foot or more in March!)? OK.

It’s actually #3 according to this article.

I wasn't doubting the original poster, just didn't expect it to be that high on the list. Interesting now that I look at the list, thanks
I’m sure it depends on what they’re measuring. I read an article on the Weather Channel (I cant link it from my phone) that had them #2 behind Syracuse. I read another article somewhere that had them #2 behind Rochester. And this past winter, Erie set the all time record for snowfall in a city for one season. Point is, they get a butt ton more snow than any other part of the state. And the city of Erie gets a lot less than other towns in the county like Corry and Waterford.
Yep. I'm originally from in-land Erie County and I can attest to Erie city and points along the coast getting less than the county. For example, Edinboro averaged 148 inches over the past 22 years...

No way in h@ll Erie County aint the snowiest county in PA, bros. No way.
It's probably statistically far down the list but in the winter it seems no matter what it's doing in the other parts of the state, it's snowing in Ebensburg, which was the case again today. Just came through there a few hours ago. Snowing to beat hell. You start up that grade on 22, no matter which way you're coming from, you get to the top there at Ebensburg and you better be prepared for anything.
I might believe Ashtabula county for Ohio, but that would have to be the southern part of the county farther away from the lakeshore for the lake effect snow. Geauga county gets a lot of snow and may even top Ashtabula. Obviously the 3.11 inches of annual snowfall listed for Ashtabula is erroneous because they would consider that a dusting for most routine snow events.
They have used avg snowfall....when it snows. Perhaps they could use what everyone else uses. Average ANNUAL snowfall is the right measure.
They listed a county in Minnesota that had like 5 inches ave snowfall and snowed zero times last year. Lol. A county in MINNESOTA that got ZERO snow last year is the snowiest county.

Yeah, it is a really stupid criterion. According to this piece, the snowiest place in North Carolina is Chatham County (about 30 miles southeast of Raleigh) where they have one or two snows a year, sometimes as much as 8 inches.
Average annual snowfall would be a much better indicator.
These are those moments when I openly wonder......where are this writers friends to keep him/her from looking like an idiot. Lol. And to think there was considerable time researching and sorting the data for each county of each state. Plenty of time for a friend to step in.
And maybe GLOV should check a little closer before posting such a flawed piece?
Something is wrong here, they have the county in Minn. with no snowfall last year. Can't be , my buddy lives there and he say;s they had all kinds of snow.
Farmington In Fayette county that is about 37000 feet up on 40 is always getting High snow amounts.
Syracuse, with the exception of one anomaly-year, always beats Rochester in the annual “Golden Snowball” award .... it’s usually not even close... we are talking a difference typically measure in FEET of snow.... Syracuse is a hell-hole
