The '''List of snowiest places in the United States by state''' shows average annual [[snowfall]] totals for the period mid-1985 to mid-2015. Only places in the official climate database of the [[National Weather Service]], a service of [[NOAA]], are included in this list. Some ski resorts and unofficial weather stations report higher amounts of snowfall than places on this list. Official weather stations are usually located in populated places and snowfall statistics for isolated and unpopulated areas are often not recorded.
[[Mt. Ranier]] and [[Mt. Baker]] in [[Washington State]] are the snowiest places in the United States which have weather stations, receiving annually on average. By comparison, the populated place with the highest snowfall in the world is believed to be [[Sukayu Onsen]] in the [[Siberia]]n-facing [[Japanese Alps]]. Sukayu Onsen receives (nearly 58 feet) of snow annually. Nearby mountain slopes may receive even more.<ref> [http://bit.ly/2XS6HGQ], accessed 27 Apr 2019</ref>
The amount of snow received at weather stations varies substantially from year to year. For example, the annual snowfall at Paradise Ranger Station in [[Mount Ranier National Park]] has been as little as in 2014-2015 and as much as in 1971-1972.<ref>"National Park Service," [http://bit.ly/2GNvPZn], accessed 27 Apr 2019</ref>
