2nd Snowiest Major City in U.S.
-
6/10/2006
The Weather Channel recently named Cleveland the 2nd snowiest major city in the U.S. (Buffalo was #1). It's also one of the 10 windiest, coldest and cloudiest. The average snowfall of 45.9" listed on this site is inaccurate; the average at Cleveland Hopkins Airport, which is in one of the least snowiest parts of the Cleveland metro area, is 63.3". Many of the southern and eastern (especially) suburbs get substantially more snow than the airport does. As for the summers, while they aren't especially long, they are quite humid. Fall is the only pleasant season; Spring, if you want to call it that, is chilly and rainy, with at least one accumulating snowfall almost every April. Cleveland's long, harsh winters were the the number one reason that I left there for Cincinnati (job opportunities were the number two reason).
