The highest total recorded by registered National Weather Service volunteers was in Cassadaga where 216.5 inches of snow was measured.

Cassadaga just recently had a registered snow spotter and does not have a long history of snow measurements in the village.

Jamestown received 93.9 inches of snow. Last year, the city only had 36 inches and the winter before that had 57 inches of snow.

The 2018-19 winter Jamestown had 123.6 inches of snow recorded, which was the last time it had more snowfall than this year.

Jamestown has had snow totals measured for the past 20 years. In 2006-07, the city had 135.9 inches of snow, the highest amount recorded.

This winter, Dunkirk topped Jamestown by about 10 inches. In 2024-25, the north county city received 104 inches of snow.

Last winter, Dunkirk had 25.8 inches of snow and in 2022-23, the city had 54.9 inches of snow.

Like Jamestown, the winter of 2017-18 was the last time it had more snow fall than this past winter, but just barely. That year, Dunkirk had 104.4 inches of snow.

Dunkirk’s numbers on the National Weather Service in Buffalo only go back to the 2015-16 season. Of those 10 years, this winter and the winter of 2017-18 were the only ones that topped 100 inches of snow.

In Mayville, snow totals there have been measured for more than 70 years, but it’s done by the state Department of Transportation, not the National Weather Service, which has specialized training for its snow spotters.

In Mayville, the state DOT recorded 175 inches of snow this past winter, up from 103 inches of snow the winter before. That 103 inches measured in 2023-24 was the lowest snow total ever recorded in the village.

The winters of 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-2020 all had more than 200 inches of snow fall in the village.

Mayville’s all-time snow record is 296 inches, which was recorded during the 1996-97 winter.

While Cassadaga is the only place where snow spotters recorded more than 200 inches of snow, there were other places that had more than 200 inches of snow in Western New York.

In Cattaraugus County, Perrysburg recorded 201.9 inches of snow, and the village of Cattaraugus had 243.7 inches of snow.

In Wyoming County, Warsaw had 208.8 inches of snow.

But none came close to Hooker, NY. This hamlet, located in the town of Montague in Lewis County, received 339.3 inches of snow.
