See Albany’s Top 10 Snowiest Winters Of All Time [RANKED]

As we get closer to the flakes flying in Upstate New York, how much snow would we need to get this winter to reach record-setting territory?

Our last couple of winters in the Capital Region have been a little underwhelming when it comes to snowfall. But in recent memory, we have also had some above-average winters. Like any other weather event, totals go up or down and it all is just a game of chance.

Since the winter of 1884 - 85 the National Weather Service has been tracking yearly snowfall totals and when you put all those up and down winters together the typical seasonal snowfall for New York's capital city is 59.2 inches. So how far and above would we have to go this winter to make it one of the all-time biggest for snowfall?

Well, let's put it this way: the last time we had enough snowfall to land in Albany's all-time top ten winters below was over 20 years ago in 2002-2003. It is probably unlikely to happen this year. Or maybe considering we are due to have a winter that cracks the top 10, maybe it is not unlikely at all!
