Study Shows What is the Snowiest County in Minnesota
Snow has been a thing that we have been missing, for the most part, for the last couple of years. This can be an issue, especially when you live in a state that depends on revenue from all 4 of our seasons. There are many places around the state that depend on snow and cold temperatures to do what they need to do regarding events that are centered around a Minnesota winter.
This year, so far we have had cold temperatures, but snow is still lacking, for the most part. Usually, we have much more than this, like 3 years ago when we got 90 inches of snow. It got so no one really knew where to put it after awhile.
Snow does look to be in the long range forecast, however. There is one county that traditionally has the most snow in the state. According to this study, the snowiest county in Minnesota is St Louis County. This county is in Northern Minnesota and on average gets about 40 inches of snow per year. Cities in the county include Duluth, Hibbing. Ely, Eveleth, Biwabik, etc. So, yes, we know that they get a lot of snow. Usually.
Most people think of Minnesota as a very snowy state. But, that county came in at number 23. The snowiest county in the United States is in New Hampshire. Then there are several counties in Alaska. That tracks, and also Erie County in New York. That also makes sense. An odd one is the county coming in at number 7 is Coconino county in ARIZONA!!!!! Obviously Norther Arizona. But that's not somewhere you would normally think of being super snowy.
If you want to check out the study, it is pretty interesting. You can find that link here at the Winter Wonderland's 2025 snow study.
