Snowiest day in all US States - part 1

Snowmen in the state of Ohio
I came across an interesting list of the snowiest day in each of the US states. I will divide this list in 3 parts, making a  countdown of sorts, starting from the least snowy to the most. 
35.       Missouri - Brunswick, Mo. received two feet of snow on December 5, 1925.
36.       Illinois - Two feet of snow fell in the west-central Illinois town of Coatsburg on February 28, 1900.
37.       Oklahoma - In far northwestern Oklahoma the town of Buffalo saw 23 inches of snow on Feb. 21, 1971.
38.       Ohio - In the southeast corner of the state, the town of Woodsfield saw 22 inches of snow on February 17, 2003.
39.       Indiana - 22 inches of snow fell along the Ohio River in Cannelton on December 23, 2004.
40.       Iowa - Fayette, located in the northeast corner of the state, recorded 21 inches of snow on March 6, 1959.
41.       Tennessee - Elizabethton, located in the far northeastern Tennessee mountains, measured 20.8 inches of snow on March 18, 1936.
