daughter doing a report for school. anyone know a reliable, reputable, weather site we can get total snowfall accumulations by zip code?

not looking for the moutains/resorts - flatlands of CT.

googling for it but thought i'd check here too for options.

thanks.

Such records do not exist. Your only hope would be to contact your local NWS office and ask about coop observer data.

The NWS does have climatological reports available for some major locations.

Bridgeport, CT - http://forecast.weather.gov/product...&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off
Central Park, NY - http://forecast.weather.gov/product...&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off

More localized reports could be tough to find though...

Access to the raw monthly csv coop data is available too...but you'd have to collate the data yourself into totals (and it still wouldn't give you by zip code):

thanks everyone. did find some totals on NOAA last night using one of the same links CDSKIER mentioned, not our specific town but the Bridgeport CT data (closest location) gave us a number we'll use. Typically we get more snow in our town compared to Bridgeport but it is likely good enough for the purposes my daughter needs.

also stumbled across a site call http://theweathercollector.com/ which had some info too

btw, in our area

this season (excluding the most recent storm) 28 inches for the year (10/1/15 - 3/18/16) = 28 inches snow
last season (10/1/14 - 3/31/15) = 68 inches snow
