The Great New York Snowmageddon: Where Does Winter REALLY Rage?
Ah, New York. The city that never sleeps... unless it's buried under a mountain of snow. But where in this fine state does winter unleash its fury the most? Buckle up, snowflake enthusiasts, because we're about to embark on a hilarious quest to find the snowiest city in New York!
The Usual Suspects: Buffalo vs. Rochester
Let's be honest, these two upstate giants are the first to come to mind. They're practically BFFs with Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, which means lake-effect snow is basically their middle name. We're talking blizzards so epic, you'll need a snorkel to navigate the sidewalks. But which one reigns supreme? It's a close call, with both averaging around 90 inches of snow a year.
