Blue Canyon, California gets the highest snowfall amounts with more then 240" a year. It blows me away who would ever want to live some place where the snow is higher then the gutters on your home.

Mobile, Alabama is the rainest place in America getting a whopping 5 feet of rain a year. People take boats to work, not cars. Windshield wipers cost $25 there and $5 in any other city.

Fasinating......

What's the prize for the person who guesses correctly?
I'm going to say Hawaii. I know there's a lot of rain, but I'm guessing about the snow, though I know the higher mountains get some.

Well, I guess I'm not going to get the prize. After I posted this, I Googled snowfall in Hawaii. It seems that whenever there is significant snow on the peaks there, it is newsworthy. It also doesn't seem that frequent, so there is probably only 10 feet a year, if that (I suspect it's a bit less).

Mobile, Alabama does receive the most rain, but the most snow place, I have no idea.

LOL Desertsun41, the streets do tend to fill up with rain water fast in a lot of areas around the city. I have drove home thinking I did need a boat.

Um, in winter, precipitation falls as SNOW in the U.P. They dont get those nasty ice storms (well, hardly ever) like you guys do in the semi-warm climes, where youre just as apt to get rain in winter as you are snow. Rain falls in spring, summer and fall in the U.P, where its too warm to freeze.

Thats alot of snow! But the 240" is spread out over several months, not all in one shot, obviously.

And while you question why some people would want to live there, I question why you want to live in the desert where things never change and you endure several months of ungodly heat. Its all up to your personal tastes, thats all.
