You could say that. They average around 100 inches out there because they're up in elevation. They're not technically part of the Lake Effect Snow Belt just downwind of the lakes, but they actually do receive a lot of snow from the lakes (mostly Erie) due to orographic lift, where the plateau forces that moist air to rise and condense out the moisture. That ridge running north of Somerset down through Western MD and adjacent parts of WV is a snow belt of sorts and receives well over 100 inches annually in favored locations due to this effect.
