Perhaps some other place in Alaska, but Valdez is looking like a strong candidate. Some areas in eastern Newfoundland are strong contenders for the Atlantic side.
There are numerous reporting sites around the Rocky Mountain Region of the USA with significantly higher monthly snowfall totals. It's not uncommon to see Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr months with more than 60" of snowfall through the month measured on ski slopes and the adjacent towns. Without looking up specific months, I do recall more than a few such monthly totals bringing over 60" total in Jackson WY, Vail CO ... and numerous other ski resort towns through the region.
As well, the Sierra mountain towns can see some sizable totals in a winter month.
