Even the Scilly Isles still recorded 23 cm of snow in January 1987, I'm not sure if there's anywhere in the country that hasn't beaten that.
Most snow in any inhabited place as far as I can tell is 211 cm in Forest-in-Teesdale in February 1947. The most I can find for Aviemore (generally considered the snow capital of the UK) was 66 cm in January 1978, but I'd be surprised if they hadn't had more at some point.
that's insane, 99.9% of sweden wouldn't even come close to that. appears to only be at ca 400masl from google earth.

That 211 cm figure is widely quoted but I'm pretty sure that's drifted snow, February 1947 was the snowiest month of the 20th century here but I can't believe anywhere would have had that much level snow.
This article gives 165 cm for a couple of upland places in Wales in the big winters in 1947 and 1963 but again, they are just so far above what almost anywhere else has recorded I have to be a bit dubious about what they were measuring.

Interesting to see the record for Riksgränsen late in the season, seeing places like Rovaniemi and Kiplisjärvi still with so much snow in May this year I was curious about what the potential for an upland place in Lapland could be.
I don't know how to check snowthickness, but I'm sure it has to be one of the Lake Effect areas in Usptate NY, like Tug Hill. Out of bigger towns, it's probably Syracuse or Buffalo

Perhaps among cities, but only perhaps. The mountains on the west coast definitely win in terms of snow amounts. Only this year, there was a lot of talk about villages in Oregon or even California with like 8m of snow pack or something.

Your meteorological service does not publish record snowthicknesses of cities?
Why is it so hard to choose out of places that have official climate datas published? This is what I am doing. I wrote provincial capitals for that reason since provincial capitals are published.
There are 81 Provinces in Turkey. Out of 81 cities which are provincial capitals, Bitlis is the snowiest one with record snowthickness being 343 cm.

For Syracuse it's (48 in/4 ft)/(121.9 cm/1.2 m) on February 1st, 1966.
For Buffalo it's (44 in/3.6 ft)/(111.7 cm/1.1 m) on December 28th, 2001.

The NOAA does measure snow depth which has to have a similar meaning to snow thickness.

He said he didn't know how to check snowthickness, by which I understood that he was talking about places which didn't have climate datas published so he wouldn't know it. It is better to go with places which have climate datas published so that we wouldn't have to guess about highest snowthickness recorded and we could also observe the climate, which would be very good. There are already enough places which have climate datas published, aren't there? It shouldn't be so hard to go with places that have climate datas published
English is my foreign language. Try to understand my english if it is bad
In Canada, there are many cities where the record snow depth is probably in the 250-300 cm range. Most of the others are in the 100 cm range. This is true of the two biggest cities: Toronto and Montreal.
Even the least snowy major cities, Vancouver and Victoria, the record snow depth is about 65 cm. So that's the "lowest".
does Environment Canada report snow depth? Couldn't find it in the climate records.

If you go to the individual forecast page for a city after the forecast and current conditions there are à bunch of links including Historical Weather. You can get the snow depth for each day there.
Record snow depths are harder to find - on EC you'd need to do your own search and compile the data.
But I've found them on The Weather Network's site by googling a city name and record snow depth. TWN lists record snow depths by month.
Sorry I can't post links right now.
