I saw this headline today as I was checking weather.com for the forecast and thought "I wonder where MSU sits?" Lo and behold, Montana Hall is on the front page! I suppose it's set up as a regional thing by the site webmasters to get more clicks, but it's still kinda cool.

We check in - on page 23 - at #4 @ 93.5" per year, bested only by University of Buffalo, Northern Arizona (that one kind of shocked me, but they do have us by 2000 ft or so...), and Syracuse University. Only D-1 colleges and universities were on their list.

I had no idea Buffalo got that much snow, or Northern Arizona for that matter.
I got to get out of the office more

The New York schools really don't surprise me, Lake Erie snow effect buries them. Northern Arizona did surprise me.

I was going off of Buffalo for my Lake Erie post, I was not sure of where the other schools actually were located. And Buffalo seems to atttract quite a bit of the white stuff.

NAU doesn't surprise me at all. Elevation is nearly 7000 feet.
