Connecticut had it's record snowfall not more than 5 years ago, IIRC. More than 100 inches in a season. I can't remember which year but the local authorities made a big deal about it. I think the City cited was Hartford, (the state capitol). I poked around a bit but couldn't find it cited anywhere...
