5 Snowiest States In The US

4. Alaska    

Average Annual Snowfall (inches): 79.6

Alaska might seem like the snow king of the U.S., but surprisingly, it doesn’t hold the top spot for average annual snowfall. That’s because it’s a huge state with all sorts of climates. Coastal areas get more moderate weather, while the inland parts deal with chilly, snowy winters. But hey, Alaska isn’t shy about putting on a snow show – just think about that time in 1963 when a whopping 78 inches of snow dumped in just 24 hours! No wonder Alaskans know how to make the most of winter with cool activities like dog sledding and snowmobiling.
