I searched the web for climate statistics on Canadian cities. I am posting what I found to be the average annual snowfalls in each centre. Any surprises here ?

Fredericton -  106 cm
Montreal    -  300 cm
Ottawa      -  235 cm
Toronto     - 133 cm
London      - 202 cm
Winnipeg    - 110 cm
Regina        - 126 cm
Calgary       - 126 cm

Most people will likely be surprised about Winnipeg not being on top. Not a big shock to me. Many parts of the country get dumped on far worse than us. Our's just stays longer than most places with the exception of northern Saskatchewan maybe.

For me living 10 minutes from Yonge and Bloor in Toronto, Toronto is the surprise. It is safe to say we are the brunt of an entire country's jokes when it snows because the impression is that it never snows here but clearly we exceed many other places where people think it snows, Winnipeg, Calgary, Regina for example.

Here are some USA examples:

(100cm = 39"  150cm = 58"  200cm =78")

Detroit - 41"
New York - 28"
Buffalo - 91"
Chicago - 38"
Philladelphia - 20"
Pittsburgh - 43"
Minneapolis - 49"
Boston - 41"
Nashville - 10"
Dallas - 3"
Denver - 60"
