I'm not that sure how reliable those numbers are. I've lived in the great white north most of my life, and am familiar with a good many cities on that list. I've become pretty adept at estimating snowfall over the years (I'm 55 now), and a lot of those averages just don't compute in my experience - several of them seem ridiculously low. Call me skeptical, but there may be some hidden agenda at work here.
Oh no! It's the black helicopters!!
Seriously, that list would change dramatically if the population dropped down to 20,000+ from 50,000+. Nothing south of Duluth would likely make the cut.
Oh, Can-A-Daaaaa!
LOL 
Yeah, I'm not sure about some of those numbers either. Wouldn't you know it though, I bought my first snow blower in September and now this winter had yielded the least amount of snow I can remember in recent years. My neighbors thank me.

Here in the greater Montreal area, according to Environment Canada records, it's been a very slow season. We may be on our way to a record low for snowfall. Seems like all the snow has gone around us this year. We've only had 36 inches to date. I got my machine in the fall of 08, after the almost record (150 in.) season of 07-08. Not counting that year, we've averaged about 70 in. per year in the last 6 years. If we compare that to the 71-2000 average of 86 inches, you can really see the effects of global warming! I guess there's only one thing left to do this season http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5NBLUo4ZmY Cheers
