It's a known fact -- everybody thinks their town is the best in the country at dealing with snow.

We hear the trash talk on our social media sites. It's always something like, "They got 6 inches of snow and everything shut down? That's nothing to us ... we still go to work when there's 2 feet on the ground!" However, this winter has humbled a few towns that used to think they couldn't be slowed by extreme winter weather.

Using the guidance of National Weather Service meteorologists -- guys and girls who know the weather in their town better than anyone else -- 10 U.S. towns, from every region of the country, had their claims put to the test, and we found out who really can handle feet of snow without blinking.
