The numbers I used are from official NWS sites? They are average seasonal snowfall. Of course Boston has had seasons of more snowfall than normal…but so have other cities. That not what the word average means (look it up).
Also, while it’s quite charming that Burlington, VT had 100 inches recently… what’s that have to do with NYC, Philly or Boston?
Is posting “facts” on City data now frowned upon (lol).
Minnesota's snow fall totals is an odd stat. Snow fall is different than snow accumulation. The Twin Cities recently saw 2 inches of snow, but its all gone now,
In Minnesota, one can see snow flakes flying in any month from September to May, and consistent accumulation from Nov-March.
What's really odd, is that MNs snowiest month is March, where we see the majority of the season's snow fall, but it often dumps and melts.
Yeah its pretty shocking that Indy and Milwaukee were just but mo mention of St Louis considering it has a more developed economy, culture, and other amenities.
Can't speak for Indianapolis, but Milwaukee's economy, culture, and other amenities are definitely on par with St. Louis.
The Northeast coastal cities don't get as much snow as their Midwest counterparts, but excluding Cleveland they do have more potential to get really large snowfalls in individual storms every few years.
There should be more than 10 cities listed (both from the Midwest and from further south on the Northeast corridor), and I'd list Cleveland (and Pittsburgh and probably Buffalo) as transition zone cities.
Boston is a great town as is Philly for the northeast. The Midwest I would choose Chicago and Minneapolis. Minneapolis just seemed like a nice and clean city I wish I coulda spent more time there. Chicago is just epic the skyline goes on forever. For a kid from the New Hampshire woods it really struck me as someting out of this world. Philly has the same distinct skyline as Chicago in my opinion and a cultural flair that can't be found in many places throughout the US . As for Boston thats my "Home big city" so I'm a bit biased however it as a place to be seen because its so unique though sometimes frustrating to drive through. NYC is overated in my opinion then again I haven't spent much time there. I've never been to Providence, Indy or Detroit so I can't say anything about them. Though I've heard Indianapolis is a good time.
the midwest wins, they have high class shopping(Chicago), beautiful theatres and skyline(Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis).
Not against your opinion or anything but,
New York has all that and more.
