which location has most days with slush? my bet is somewhere slightly elevated at the alaskan panhandle.  it has to be an oceanic or subpolar oceanic climate with loads of snow and rain aternately. |

One of those rediculous 7 metres snowfall in a humid subtropical climate deals at 37°N yes...  Is that your dog @kronan?  |

Terrace, BC is probably a decent candidate. Means temps not far below freezing, Nov-Jan each average more than 150 mm precipitation a month with still a shit ton of snowfall, more than 300 cm a year: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrace%2C_British_Columbia#ClimateYakutat, AK is almost certainly a good candidate too, massive amounts of precipitation during winter with means hovering around freezing, a great deal of snow (382 cm a year) with a shit ton of rain still: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakutat,_Alaska#Climate Most higher latitude west coast climates seem quite slushy during winter. |

I think Japan is a good bet

Macquarie Island (AU), Port-aux-Français (KE), Tórshavn (FO), Lerwick (UK) – in that order. I would say Grytviken or Heard Island, but they have means well below freezing and thus recieve more snow than slush. The snowiest place on Earth would undoubtedly be the summit of Mawson Peak. Annual snowfall days, respectively: 80, 79, 70, 68. I've been monitoring Grytviken's forecasts, and it's had nothing but snow since winter: ![]()  |

Probably somewhere in Japan, but out side of that, I think that Baring, WA is probably pretty high on that list. here are two that I found in Japan KanazawaTottori |

I'm not so sure those Japanese locations are as slush-filled as you guys think. Not saying there isn't slush but here's a video from Tottori (at 35N). It's not slush but it's definitely not that cold looking either. Just looks like above freezing conditions after a heavy snowfall a few days before.

Japan is nothing compared to Heard Island for snow totals, especially upwards to Mawson Peak. If NZ's Mt Cook at only 43° S can receive up to 12000 mm, then Maswon Peak at 53° S and 2745 m AMSL could receive well towards 16000 mm. You can already tell how deep the snow is just by looking at the bloody island; The snow looks well over 40 m deep! That's a 2745 m high mountain, I'll have you know:  |

This photo shows an impressive amount of depth on those ridges.  |

Wikipedia states that the Tasman Glacier of New Zealand can accumulate up to 50 m/160 ft in a year. If that's the case, then Mawson Peak should easily exceed 70 m. The picture above proves it even further.

70 meters of snow a year. That's fucking insane  My dream climate averages about 1/8th of that and most people would probably find that to be a ridiculous amount, lol. |

Winters can be very slushy here in colder than average months.

The slushiest would be places with a high rainfall and high snowfall in a month. Would also depend on how the temperatures vary; if it's two weeks of snow then two weeks of rain well above freezing, no slush.

Are you disappointed that Heard Island was never colonized? Aye, Heard Island would have far better fishing and whaling oppurtunities than anywhwre in the Northern Hemisphere. The island gets gales and hurricanes that make even Lerwick look calm. Best part about it? No EU dickheads to fuck it up!  |

Would Vancouver be a contender? Looks like their winters would alter between sleet and freezing rain (at the coldest).

It has yet to be mentioned, but somewhere high in the Appalachian rainforest would be very slushy, with winter means below freezing but lots of snow, freezing rain, and cold rain. I'd imagine most winter days on a mountain like Mount Mitchell (6,684ftasl) to be very slushy.

It's probably not the slushiest, but probably pretty high up on the list, Skykomish, WA seems like it would get a lot of slush. February Avg High: 42.4F (5.8C) Mean: 34.95F (1.65C) Avg Low: 27.5F (−2.5C) Percip: 12.26 in (311 mm) Snowfall: 17.7 in (45 cm) Elevation: 928 ft (283 m) Another place that seems like it would get a lot of slush is the Hoh RainforestFebruary Avg High: 44.3F (6.8C) Mean: 38.65F (3.7C) Avg Low: 33.0F (0.6C) Percip: 11.70 in (297 mm) Snowfall: 7.6 in (19 cm) Elevation: 590 ft (179.8 m) |
