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 ?
Charlottetown - 312 cm St. Johns - 126 cm Fredericton - 106 cm Montreal - 300 cm Ottawa - 235 cm Toronto - 133 cm London - 202 cm Winnipeg - 110 cm Regina - 126 cm Calgary - 126 cm Vancouver - 48 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"
They must be fast in Vancouver to measure snow, because the rain has it gone in a blink of an eye. I think this is the only place in Canada that you can drive you classic every month of the year.
