Hey guys
Here is a little something I have been working on. I have been collecting data for the maximum snow depth measured for each month from 2002 for several cities (not quite finished).
So far I have done Stockholm, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Oslo, Bergen, Tromso and am finishing of the second half of the year for Kiruna. I also just started fetching the data for Toronto which I am finishing today, with a few more Canadian cities.

Hey Glacierx, what is the deepest snow recorded in British Columbia but in a town that isn't located in the mountains, like Prince George (>1000). Thats how i go about when finding maximum snow depth, otherwise its meaningless to me because of course mountain ranges get a lot of snow

If you look at my list you will see that quite a few towns are listed. Atlin is a small town that is actually very dry (300 and some mm/ year), but once in a while they get huge amounts of snow.
MacKenzie and Revelstoke have more than 1,000 people. Both get a lot of snow. Burnaby SFU (Simon Fraser Univeristy) gets LOTS of snow, and that city has almost 300,000 people, though not all of them live up on Burnaby Mountain where the university is located.
Most of the places on my list are actually in valley bottom communities (Blue River, Revelstoke, Mica Dam, etc.), and some are even at or near the Ocean (Kitimat, Terrace, Stewart).
I posted the elevations so you could compare that way. Prince George is at about 691m elevation, with a maximum all time snow depth of 104 cm (February 12, 1956).
At the other end of the spectrum, the most snow the Nootka Lightstation has ever had on the ground is 9 cm (December 31, 1981)
Which site can I use for Canadian snow data. I need data for Maximum snow depth recorded in a certain month from 2002. I have been using Climate but it is taking quite long as I have to go through each month, daily...
Thank you for this! I will try and find the other data fro 2002 myself, and is the data you said for this snow season measured by you or the Finnish meteorological institute.
This site has Finnish data but because I can't read Finnish, I'm struggling to navigate around and find maximum snow depth. Palvelut ja tuotteet - Ilmatieteen laitos
(The english page doesn't translate everything).
Also where did you get the record snow depth from? Thank you!

Those are official FMI depths. I looked at the FMI website but couldn't find anything other than all-time record depths. Monthly max depths aren't available on the website.
I just had to look manually from ogimet.com month by month. The station code is 02974.
