The answer will vary from year to year as weather conditions here don't follow a yearly pattern. This year so far there hasn't been any heavy snowfall though a freak of nature caused the Manali - Leh highway to be closed for heavy traffic a few kms before the rohtang pass which is cleared for snow by the Border Roads Organization every year


Where is the snowiest place on Earth?

Mt. Baker, Washington 2896cm 1998-1999 is the highest official record. There is a ski area there where they measure snowfall. However, it is likely that higher totals occur in areas where there are no official measurements. For example, there may have been higher snowfall higher on Mt. Baker (or neighboring Cascade peaks). There is also likely higher snowfall in the Coastal Range of Alaska. Think of it this way. If an area receives the equivalent of 300 inches (about 762 cm) of rain, it would be about 7620 cm of snow if all fell as snow at a 10:1 ratio. This is probably the upper limit anywhere on earth in a maximum year.


Where in the United States is the highest annual average snowfall?

Over the course of a year, the most snow falls in the mountains, particularly in the west where they're higher. Many ski resorts in the Cascades, Sierra Nevada, and Rockies average 300-400 inches annually, sometimes more. The most snow ever recorded was only about a decade ago on Mt. Baker in Washington - 1,040 inches. Other than the mountains, areas downwind of the Great Lakes can receive a lot of snow, averaging more than 150 inches and in places, 200+ inches in locations such as the Keeweenaw peninsula of Michigan, north-central lower Michigan, extreme northwestern PA and southwestern NY, and particularly the Tug Hill Plateau east of Lake Ontario, which holds many records east of the Mississippi.


What allows precipitation to slowly pass through and form groundwater reserves?

Porous and permeable materials like sand, gravel, and fractured rocks allow precipitation to slowly pass through and form groundwater reserves. As water percolates through these materials, it gets stored in underground reservoirs called aquifers. The amount of precipitation and the properties of the ground material influence the rate and amount of groundwater recharge.
