Oddly enough, the answer to your question is not really available. If you do what a thinking person would do and run an internet search on the phrase, "deepest snowfall on record," you will find thousands of articles describing the deepest snowfall in some specific place (for example, Vancouver BC or Tucson AZ) since records were first kept FOR THAT PLACE.
You will not find a central repository that can give you a record of an occasion on which the deepest snow ever fell anywhere on earth.
I can tell you with certainty that it was not in Moscow in 2001. That answer is ridiculous, reporting a snowfall of less than three feet, which is trivial in world terms. A couple of hundred miles from Moscow, in Siberia, snows of 12-15 feet are common.
It snows 15-18 feet several times each winter in the higher passes of the Rocky Mountains. When I was a school kid in the mountains of Western North Carolina we had a 110-inch snowfall one winter.
In the Himalayas, it can snow 20 feet or more in one blizzard, and there are glacial drifts that are hundreds of feet deep, left over from the last ice age.
So as much as I hate to tell you, the question is somewhat moot. If you want to ask, "What's the deepest snowfall recorded in Colorado, or New York City, or Austin, Texas, you can find that. Most states have an Office of Climatology that posts such records on the internet.
But as I mentioned, it all begins with looking it up for yourself. Do an internet search. Look carefully. Maybe you will find something I didn't see. You will learn a lot in the process, which is what life is for.

The most well-known Cascade snow record is certainly the 1140" snowfall at Mount Baker Ski Area during the 1998-99 season, which is a world record for seasonal snowfall at any measurement site

February Snowfall in Moscow Highest Recorded Since 1901
The Moscow Times
All those Moscow residents yearning for more of winter's white stuff have gotten what they asked for: Weather experts said Thursday that Russia's capital registered its biggest monthly snowfall in 100 years in February, Reuters reported.
The February snowfall, in a land of harsh winters where sub-zero temperatures can reign for months, was 86 centimeters, a spokesman for the Moscow city and regional weather service said, according to the report. This beat the previous record of 75 centimeters set in 1947 and was the highest since 1901, he said.
