12 of the Snowiest Places Around the Globe

St John's, the capital of the Newfoundland and Labrador province, is one of the snowiest major cities in Canada.

On average, around 132 inches of snow falls on St. John's every winter. Contributing to this is the city's location on the country's exposed and remote eastern coastline. This places St. John's directly in the path of powerful Atlantic storms, which typically bring blizzards, intense winds, and heavy snowfall. The all-time daily record for the area is 40 inches, which fell on February 13, 1894. To help residents live comfortably throughout the winter months, the city invests approximately $14.3 million USD in snow clearing and ice control operations each year.
