Ann Arbor finds itself on a lot of lists, but not usually on the list of snowiest cities. But this winter, the city ranks as the sixth snowiest with a population of 100,000 or more in the United States, according to the Golden Snow Globe's National Snow Competition.

Though Ann Arbor could inch up or down in the rankings, it's unlikely to catch up with Erie, Pa. where 108.5 inches have piled up so far.

With 71.8 inches, Tree City feels like Snow City this winter. In a normal snowfall season, Ann Arbor would have received just 37.9 inches of snow by Feb. 10, according to Dennis Kahlbaum, staff meteorologist at University of Michigan.

There are three other Michigan cities in the top 10: Detroit, Grand Rapids and Flint.

The list is as follows: Erie, Pa with 108.5 inches; Buffalo, N.Y. with 94.7 inches; Grand Rapids with 92.2; Syracuse, N.Y., with 83.6 inches; Rochester, N.Y. with 72.7; Ann Arbor with 71.8 inches; Detroit with 70.8 inches; Toledo, Ohio with 67.4 inches; Billings, Mont. with 65 inches and Flint with 64.5 inches.

As for future snowfall, only time will tell for the rest of the Great Winter of 2014. Clear skies were predicted for Tuesday and Wednesday in the Ann Arbor area, though there is a chance of snow Thursday night and Friday, but serious accumulation isn’t expected at this point.
