Hmmm, .... I was not aware that the Hamlet of Calumet, MI had gained the prerequisite population of 10,000 for inclusion in this report. Congratulations are in order, IF you have. (Has Calumet's population reached even 2,000 yet?) If not, then join the hundreds of other smaller towns, villages and hamlets that are also Not included in this report.
Official weather stations are usually located in populated places and snowfall statistics for isolated and unpopulated areas are often not recorded. Some of THESE smaller places record 300 inches and more of annual snowfall and would put most of the rest of the North American Continent to shame!
Maybe the smaller towns and hamlets should start up your own annual "Golden Snowball Award" (see Wikipedia) to compete with the rest of the similar US towns. Paradise, Washington, for example, gets over 625 inches annually and has been as high as 1,122 inches; and Alta Utah gets over 400 inches. I'm sure THEY would love to get recognized as well.
