The inland northwest (east of the cascades) and the interior of Alaska.
In terms of snowfall I think you might be 100% right – the Western coastal mountain ranges blow the doors off anything the upper Midwest/Great Lakes or upper New England can muster in terms of snowfall.
While the upper Midwest might be the center of cold in the USA – the snowiest places in America (and possibly the world) are the Cascades of Washington and Oregon and the Sierra Nevada in California. Some of these places get from 400 to 600 inches of snow on average each year. In Michigan, Herman is the highest with 235 inches of snow on average....while in Maine, it's really paltery, Rangeley only averages 118 inches.... and the best Minnesota can do is 90 inches in Duluth.
Never heard of this place. Looks like a great climate. Not too cold, but more than enough rain and snow.
You never heard of Valdez, AK? That's where the big Exxon-Valdez oil spill happened in 1989 which was the largest oil spill in U.S. history prior to the Deep Water Horizon incident

Oh yeah, I've heard of that spill. I didn't make the connection.
