Probably depends how they determine what is a day. Is it 24hrs or midnight to midnight? We've definitely gotten more the 35" in a storm, but it was most likely over the course of 36hrs. Also their sources are not anything official.

This can't be accurate, when I lived in Wisconsin we got 36 inches in 18 hours in Milwaukee and that was in April.

There used to be a sporting camp there. I worked there as a teen. Lived in "the chicken coop."One night we got hammered and walked down to Louise Dickerson Rich's camp where a coworker was spending the night. It was early May back when there was still snow around in May. We went skinny dipping in Rapid River and then into the hot tub. Holy coldness.

Arizona is number nine?

I’m entirely confident this is a 12:00-12:00 measure and not an actual most in 24 hours measure. I’ve been alive for a 3-foot storm but it lasted throughout the night, this is a really bad statistical map.

Years ago I used to fly fish The rapid river below middle dam... I doubt like hell if anybody ever measured the snowfall in that area.

I feel like this map doesn't really take into the account of high elevation locations and how that affects snowfall. I would bet it would look dramatically different if it was max snowfall <5,000 ft elevation

You couldn’t include the entire state of Colorado then.

They have plenty of mountains that are 7,000 feet above sea level. Flagstaff is a nice mountain town about 2.5 hours north of the Valley and looks and feels a lot like Maine. They get snow there, just not in the desert in Maricopa County

Curious as to why you would think a place in the high desert of the southwest “looks and feels a lot like” the east coast?

I’ve been there many times. I recommend you to visit. Have a great day!

They're asking a question not starting an argument.

The current results source says it's single calendar day, so my guess is midnight to midnight.
I'm not sure where someone would find a database of snowfall recorded by the hour. So finding the 24 hour record would take reading historical news articles and a lot more research than looking at a chart. The article doesn't list it's source but I'm guessing the national weather service.

These numbers make no sense. The New York record is supposedly 45 inches but I have lived here 60 + years and know for a fact that single day snow accumulations have been significantly higher. Today's 60 + inches in Buffalo is not that unusual. I lived in Western NY for many years.
