The World's 8 Snowiest Cities:
#1 = Valdez, Alaska.
#2 = Aomori City, Tōhoku, Japan.
#3 = Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.
#4 = Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.
#5 = Toyama, Hokuriku, Japan.
#6 = St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
#7 = Syracuse, NY.
#8 = Erie, Pennsylvania.
Rochester not making the cut and apparently, regardless of population, is not the snowiest city in the US. Cheers!
