John,
The number I stated was in the local paper (Detroit News), today. It's
different from most data I've seen in that its by calendar year - they
usually post seasonal data - ie, the winter of 08. The seasonal data for
around here for 08 is approx 50 inches and that's for total accumulation -
the sum of each day.
I believe the NOOA weather data would be a good place to look for this stuff
if you hadn't looked there already.

Ken,
You got me curious and I went looking for the metric for Boston. I can't
find it, although I AM sure it exists somewhere. For 2008, the total
snowfall appears to be about 85 in. I could not find any data for fall
2008 so this number doesn't include the fall of 08. I got that by adding
the monthly recorded snowfall for January through March. This does not
mean the total depth at any given time. There is another metric used by a
weather watchers group, Snow depth days. I am not sure how that is
measured but it sounds like the total depth of snow for any given day,
including what may have fallen previously.
But why does a seemingly simple question get so complicated so easily?
Another puzzle for another day.

I love those snow pictures. Keep them coming.

Ask and it shall be given. I've added more to last night's gallery:

All the Canadians, Montanans, Alpens and so on will have to forgive me
for
making such a fuss about such a piddling amount of snow, but it's a rare
thing in London.
