I got 3 1/2 feet once in Western Maryland. That same year it snowed 5 feet but I wasn't there when it happened.

Last winter I had about 6 inches outside of my house. Western Washington is way up north but rarely experiences snowfall and even if it does it usually melts because of rain or above freezing temperatures.. The relatively warm ocean waters of the Pacific keep temperatures above freezing in the winter, and most of the precipitation is rain. The 6 inches with traces of snow lasting several weeks was actually a pretty rare occurrence.
However, it occasionally snows more here. I've heard of 2 feet back in the mid-90s and the internet talks of 6 feet of snow in Seattle back in the 1800s.

In my lifetime, I've seen over two feet of snow on and around my own home in Morris County, NJ. They shut down the town, and several friends and I drove to the town center in a Jeep Cherokee and played laser tag in the snow. It was awesome.

I've lived at my house in the Southern California foothills 15 years and have yet to see a single snowflake.

I've never measured it, but I once had to take a different route to work because my street was blocked off--in August. Life in the Great White North.

Two inches. NorCal doesn't get it much. Funny, we have a state champion high school ski team...
