Endless rainy days

If it rains in your area 50 days a year, after 50 years you had 2,500 days of rain.

A mile high amount of rain

To get to a one mile high amount of rain in a year in a city, you would need over 174 inches of rain a day to fall.

Mile high snow

You would need 63,360 inches of snow to equal a mile high snowfall. This is 5,280 feet.

Let it snow

The Empire State Building is 1,250 feet tall.

If you had a bad snowstorm and it snowed at a rate of two inches per hour, it would still have to snow 7,500 hours for the snow pile to reach the top of the Empire State Building.

That is almost 11 months of nonstop snowfall.
