20 Snowiest Places In The United States

With eight inches of snow on the ground and 100% chance of snow tonight ALL I realistically can think about is moving south
I ABSOLUTELY HATE, HATE, HATE winter time!

And I never vacation in wintery destinations....NEVER.  We head south to warm tropical beaches to escape the winter blues.  

I rather play with coconuts than snow balls.
  
                                                          vs

I cannot imagine having to continue your daily life in snow but, this is coming from a North Carolina girl where our government shuts down for an inch.  

Call me a wimp if you want but seriously - who likes snow?!?!?!?!

My favorite part of snow is making snow cream.....that is all :)
