Rochester, New York gets more snow than any other large city in the United States, with a yearly average of nearly 100 inches (255 cm). Close to eight feet of snow also buries nearby Buffalo in a typical year. Most cities in the United States receive some fresh snow in December, January and February. For 16 of the 51 largest US cities, the annual snowfall normally adds up to two feet (60 centimetres) or more. The heaviest snowfall in one month for any large US city usually lands at the northern New York state cities of Buffalo and Rochester. Rochester averages 28.2 inches (71.6 cm) of new snow in January. Buffalo's heaviest snow month is December, when it gets an average of 27.4 inches (69.6 cm). The snowfall totals are averages based on weather data collected from 1981 to 2010 for the NOAA National Climatic Data Center. The major cities included in the weather rankings represent the 51 metropolitan areas in the United States with the biggest populations, all those with over one million people in 2010, according to the US Census Bureau.
