    50 year snowfall for Chautauqua County  (208 inches)

        <---(click on image for a larger size)
How much snow?  Chautauqua County's average for the last 49 years is 203"

That's the average for the whole county.  Along Lake Erie we get very little while the snowbelt villages of Clymer, French Creek, Mayville, Sherman, and Stockton get a lot more.

The 2000-2001 season totals:    Mayville: 258.3"    Sherman: 301.5"    (Not bad considering we got very little snow during February.  We got snow very early and very late this year.)

2002-2003 season totals:  Mayville 245" as of 03/07/2003
                                       (No big melt-offs this year so it all stayed!)

2003-2004 season totals:

2004-2005 season totals:  Mayville broke 250"  (not bad considering we had record high temperatures of almost 70 in January.
