Just about all of the nation's coldest states have experienced serious snowfall this winter, most on multiple occasions and, for some schools, it was just another winter.
Last month, AccuWeather released a list of the 10 college campuses with the most snowfall on an annual basis. While some states could have several schools on this list, AccuWeather took the most well known school from the areas with the most average annual snowfall.
The Northeast U.S. and other part of the country are experiencing two-week stretch of constant snow and frigid temperatures. While students at several schools have had to battle the elements to get to class recently, students at these schools are used to snowfall by now.
Michigan Technological University, which topped the list, gets so much snow every year, the school holds contests for building snow structures. For these students, snow days pretty much do not happen.
10. University of Alaska, Fairbanks
Inches of snow per year: 62
With only a couple weeks for summer at the most, an Alaskan school needed to grace the list.
