Big snowfall totals surpass most major Canadian cities

In Milton, Fla., 25.4 cm of snow fell through Tuesday, setting a new record in the history books for the largest snowfall for the state. New snowfall records were broken in New Orleans, as well.

This one-day snowfall event in Florida in particular is now bigger than anything Canada has recorded in a single day so far this winter, with the only one exception being in Saint John, N.B.

But, even with the 22 cm that fell in Florida on Tuesday, it was more than communities have seen in Canada’s Far North, and much closer to the Arctic Circle.

Florida is officially out-snowing several Canadian cities on a monthly level, too, beating out places like Toronto, Ont., and St. John’s, N.L., with their January monthly snow totals so far.

As of Wednesday, Jan. 22, Toronto has picked up 19 cm of snow while St. John’s trails behind at 17 cm.

This is pretty remarkable considering that St. John’s is actually Canada’s snowiest city, and January is typically its snowiest month.
