    4. Mt. Baker, Washington

    Some of North America's deepest snowfall tallies occur in Washington state. With an annual average snowfall of 530 inches, Mt. Baker easily ranks as one of world's snowiest places. Located in the North Cascades, Baker is a thermally active volcanic crater, and second only to Mount Saint Helens in activity levels.

    Mt. Baker has become a popular ski destination, and in particular, the Mt. Baker Ski Area. During the 1998 to 1999 season, more than 1,100 inches of snow fell, breaking a world record for seasonal snowfall.

Pictures don't load for me either!!! Maybe 'cause I'm in the sunny South with 30-degree temps today.

Sure wish they would make up their minds. I don't know if I should buy winter or summer clothes.

So the 10 snowiest places on Earth are coincidentally in the United States? Doubtful.

1. Japanese Alps, Honshu Island, Japan. But 9 out of 10 is just as hard to believe.
Probably because we monitor things when others don't
