Donner Summit in the California Sierras averages 34 feet of snowfall annually with an average maximum depth of 9.5 feet. Several times snowfall has exceeded 50 feet, and it doesn't melt until Spring. Since about 1/3 of rail and road commerce from California travels over the pass, keeping it open is extremely important and the state employs an army of machines and personnel, working in brutal conditions to do it.
Most of the greatest snowfalls are West of the Rocky Mountains, and essentially all the records. Buffalo NY is known for its "Lake Effect" snow.
