The average annual amount of snowfall in the US is 28 inches.

From Hermantownmn.com...”In 1867 a pair of families moving from upstate New York filed for homesteads in the area that was referenced in early Duluth history as “the land up over the hill.'

The Kohlts family and the Acker family joined the long-established Native Americans in the area in 1871.

While there isn’t clear documentation of how the township was named, records do indicate that it was referred to as the Town of Herman in 1873, and by the turn of the century the Town of Herman had a population of 625.”
