Try Weather Underground

Replace "12345" with your zip.

Then, scroll down to "history and almanac". There's a link to "seasonal weather averages". Should tell you what you want.

I'm afraid you misunderstood the question. To figure out how high to put a vent, you need the highest likely LEVEL of standing snow cover, not the daily/weekly/monthly snowfall amounts. The two things are not the same.

As far as I know, no records are kept of snow cover depth, except in ski areas and such. The number towns use for vent placement is just a guesstimate plus a safety margin. Maybe it is OK to use the record snowfall level plus 6" for safety. Or a crystal ball...

Try...

... ASHRAE. I just looked up some info on that very subject in my old 1991 "HVAC Applications" for a snowmelt project.

How much do you expect?

This information should be available to ALL local agencies as sometimes the inspectors (local) don't know where to look for this specific information. Furthermore, without a defined snow level within a township this could be a major conflict.

Who knows?
