The graph below plots annual snowfall vs December to April temperature, for all HCN stations which have been continuously active since at least 1920.
The coldest winters average twice as much snowfall as the warmest winters.

Now that’s more like it! White out.
Ah, but this is a _different kind_ of snow!
That’s right. The northern hemisphere has been getting hot snow since 1979. And it attracts GHG producing worms too! /sarc
Double whammy!
Steven,
If you have time, would you extend the left side of the x-axis to 30-31 degrees F, as in the previous graph?
Re: Ben’s comment
There may be insufficient data below 35 deg F to plot. A Dec-Apr winter with an
average temperature of 35 deg that encompasses the entire 48 contiguous states
would indeed be a cold one.
