Fair Isle has definitely seen snow in the past. Which I think rules it out of this?
Yep.
To never receive snow must be Corvo Island in the NW Azores in the NH, and in the SH it's perhaps Gough Island (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gough_Island#Climate) at 40.27 S although with its excessive July rainfall and an all-time record low of -2.6C I wouldn't rule sleet out there every one of five years...

The Wikipedia picture for Gough Island clearly shows melting snow
I'm not sure about all continents, but my best guesses (which are probably pretty close) for North America would be Brookings, OR for snowless in most years, San Francisco for places with only a few snows on record at most and Avalon, CA for completely snowless. Although Death Valley is the world's hottest place in summer and has no way of having snow almost ever, it has still recorded some snow, unlike Avalon.
In Asia, my best guess for snowless in most years is less probable. Despite its subfreezing winters, I'd be surprised if Turpan gets any snow more often than once every few years, as its winters are rather short for such cold averages and the climate is hyperarid.
Also, Bermuda doesn't count as eastern North America. It's not even on the continental shelf, let alone part of a contiguous U.S. state. It's just another tropical island in the North Atlantic, not unlike Cape Verde, the Lesser Antilles, the Azores or the Canary Islands.

Bermuda is an archipelago, but I would like to mention only the region where it is closest, but it could refer to the northeast portion of the western hemisphere.
Turpan's winter gives a slight sense of what Antarctica looks like in transitory seasons, snow is frequent but almost always in traces.
Here is a fantastic summary of snowfall events occurred in areas where they are uncommon, also mentioning where snow was never recorded and where accumulation has never happened -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_t...all_by_country
