Editor’s Note: We updated this article for 2022. This is our first time ranking the snowiest cities in Pennsylvania.

Sure, a Saturday morning right after a foot of fluffy snow is the best thing ever. But that same amount of snow on Tuesday in Pennsylvania can make a commute last forever. So just imagine it's the dead of winter, and the time of year when the ground is frozen, the air is bone chilling, and there are piles of dirty, nasty ice encrusted snow all over the place.

This is about the time of year when you're just about ready for spring -- especially in Corry, the snowiest place in Pennsylvania.

So, put on your parkas, snow boots and your gloves and let's go outside to see which Pennsylvania cities get dumped on the most every year. After analyzing all the cities in Pennsylvania with a decent amount of people in them, we came up with this list as the 10 snowiest cities in Keystone State.

What's the snowiest place in Pennsylvania with more than 5,000 people? That would be Corry with an average annual snowfall of 118.8 inches.

Read on below to see where your town ranked, you snow angels.
