Most of the places that you listed are in "snow belts" in the lee of one or another of the Great Lakes ... not that I expected any sort of truthful rendering of the data from someone like you.
Only 2 with less than a 1 metre average.
24 Brantford 38.7 98.4 (16mm short)
And the winner with the least is:
22 Chatham-Kent 31.2
79.2cm
But it doesn't snow in balmy Oakville.

Wintertime ice growth in the Arctic is accelerating, slowing historic decline
Petty is the lead author of the new study of wintertime ice growth in the Arctic. The research was recently accepted for publication in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
RELATED
Natural climate variability explains almost half of Arctic sea ice loss
Maximum and minimum extents have been historically small in recent years. No region has been more affected by climate change than the Arctic, where increasing temperatures, combined with influxes of warm ocean water -- as well as some natural climate variability -- have caused dramatic ice losses.
Despite those loses, new modeling efforts suggest some parts of the Arctic are experiencing increasing rates of wintertime ice growth. Scientists use a combination of climate models and measurements captured by the European Space Agency's CryoSat-2 satellite, to estimate ice thickness variability across the Arctic over the last several decades.
The modeling efforts showed Arctic sea ice was on average 6.6 feet thick in October during the 1980s. Over the winter, Arctic sea ice in the 80s added on average an extra 3.3 feet of ice. As both models and satellite measurements revealed, parts of the Arctic have been growing wintertime ice at an accelerated rate.
Simulations suggest wintertime sea ice may continue to grow at accelerated rates for several more decades. In the coming years, Arctic ice may add as much as fix extra feet of ice over the winter.
"Our findings highlight some resilience of the Arctic sea ice cover," Petty said. "If we didn't have this negative feedback, the ice would be declining even faster than it currently is. Unfortunately, the positive feedback loop of summer ice melt and increased solar absorption associated with summer ice melting still appears to be dominant and continue to drive overall sea ice declines."
The increase in wintertime ice growth could alter the ocean mixing patterns. When ice forms, fresh water freezes and saltier water is discharged into the ocean. Because salt water is denser and sinks, increases in surface salinity can encourage ocean mixing.
"This is altering the seasonal balance and the salinity distribution of the upper ocean in the Arctic; it's changing when we have fresh water, when we have salty water and how deep and seasonal that upper oceanic mixed layer is," Petty said. "And that's all going to mean that local micro-organisms and ecosystems have to adapt to these rapidly evolving conditions."
Petty and his colleagues think the effects of global warming will eventually reverse the feedback loop fueling accelerating wintertime sea ice growth. In other words, the trend detailed in the new study won't be enough to prevent the Arctic from becoming ice-free by the end of the century.

No, it doesn't much. What the hell would you know about the extremely complex weather in Southern Ontario that is both continental and maritime at the same time? zip, zero.
You are a very tiresome liar. After you've convinced the other toothless hillbillies that man-made climate change is a hoax invented by liberals, what then? Only the Hillbillies and petroleum industry marketing people are buying. They're lousy convesationalists.
10cm so far this year. More than here.

It all melted immediately. None if any of those flurries stayed on the ground for a whole day.
Your many inane posts beg the question...…………..Do you participate in the forum because you have something to say or do you participate because you have to say something?
Before you even start discussing the Coquihalla, you might want to learn how to spell the word. Where was it mentioned that I might be travelling the Coquihalla tonight or in fact at any time in the near future? What is your obsession with the word deluge? Obviously it has some significant meaning to you. You come across on a regular basis as an ignorant twit as pgs has alluded to many times. It's become obvious that you should start benefitting from pgs's wisdom.
Feel free to list the things God has to overcome before you invite Him to come and live in your world.
Re:21:7:
He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God,
and he shall be my son.
Jer:18:1-10:
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD,
saying,
Arise,
and go down to the potter's house,
and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
Then I went down to the potter's house,
and,
behold,
he wrought a work on the wheels.
And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter:
so he made it again another vessel,
as seemed good to the potter to make it.
Then the word of the LORD came to me,
saying,
O house of Israel,
cannot I do with you as this potter?
saith the LORD.
Behold,
as the clay is in the potter's hand,
so are ye in mine hand,
O house of Israel.
At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation,
and concerning a kingdom,
to pluck up,
and to pull down,
and to destroy it;
If that nation,
against whom I have pronounced,
turn from their evil,
I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation,
and concerning a kingdom,
to build and to plant it;
If it do evil in my sight,
that it obey not my voice,
then I will repent of the good,
wherewith I said I would benefit them.
