If you go to Weather Underground, go to the city or zip code of your
choice, scroll down. On the left side you'll see an almanac link.
49" snowfall in Boston this season.
48.8" in Detroit.
8" in Kansas City
Actual data may vary depending on which specific weather station you
link to. Data not available for smaller cities.

John,
The number I stated was in the local paper (Detroit News), today.
It's different from most data I've seen in that its by calendar
year - they usually post seasonal data - ie, the winter of 08. The
seasonal data for around here for 08 is approx 50 inches and that's
for total accumulation - the sum of each day.
I believe the NOOA weather data would be a good place to look for
this stuff if you hadn't looked there already.

Ken,
You got me curious and I went looking for the metric for Boston.
I can't find it, although I AM sure it exists somewhere. For
2008, the total snowfall appears to be about 85 in. I could not
find any data for fall 2008 so this number doesn't include the
fall of 08. I got that by adding the monthly recorded snowfall
for January through March. This does not mean the total depth at
any given time. There is another metric used by a weather
watchers group, Snow depth days. I am not sure how that is
measured but it sounds like the total depth of snow for any given
day, including what may have fallen previously.
But why does a seemingly simple question get so complicated so
easily? Another puzzle for another day.

I love those snow pictures. Keep them coming.

Ask and it shall be given. I've added more to last night's gallery:

All the Canadians, Montanans, Alpens and so on will have to
forgive me for
making such a fuss about such a piddling amount of snow, but
it's a rare
thing in London.
