Winter is officially here and I’m looking forward to a bit of snow. How about you? If you’re hesitant about the white stuff, just be thankful that you don’t live in Oakland, Maryland. This little town is one of the snowiest spots in the entire state! Read on to see why…
Oakland, Maryland is about as far west as you can go in the state.

Because of its location and higher elevation, it often receives the most snowfall out of any other place in Maryland each year.

It’s also the coldest spot as well, meaning that once snow falls, it tends to stay for quite a while.

How much snow exactly? Well, on average, Oakland receives 106 inches per season!

The good news is that since Oakland is so used to snow, they don’t let it stop them. The snow plows here are incredibly efficient…

And residents consider themselves experts at shoveling, scraping, and salting.
