wow you average a lot. I remember when I said that I dont think NYC can be considered a snowy city, I used numbers for snowfall seasons that could be considered good and I came up with a 40" average as the minimum needed for a good snowfall season.....thats a nice whole number and it's also 1 meter, which is the measurement unit the rest of the world uses. It brings in cities like Chicago, Detroit and Boston as snowy (near the minimum limit anyway) while a city like Pittsburgh or NYC cant be considered snowy.
