The Tugg Hill Plateau south of Watertown is pretty much the snowiest place in the lower 48.
It is the area on the map directly east of the end of Lake Ontario where there are no roads. It is a big empty wilderness area.

I had a college buddy that grew up in Lowville, NY.
Right on the edge of the plateau. The only thing in that town was the AMF bowling pin factory and an Ethan Allen furniture factory. At least they were there back in 1984/85 when I was there. We went to Syracuse together.

It's also Great Lake-salmon fishing in the streams feeding into Lake Ontario. I've met folks from all over the USA and even South America who travel to the area for fishing. I have been with a friend who is a real expert on the streams in whole area from Watertown to Rochester. He's caught some real monsters.

Mount Baker in Washington averages almost 650 inches of snow every year. That’s an outlandish 54 feet.

I seem to remember a report about that weather station breaking all kinds of records when they exceeded the 1,100-inch mark within the last five or six years. One ski resort had to shut down for most of the winter because the ski lifts — towers and all — were completely buried in the snow.
