I need to visualize the snowfall in the USA for a given time period and city. So you could pick a given day and get a heatmap showing the amount of snowfall at each place in the USA on that day. Monthly or seasonal snowfall isn't granular enough for this application.

Does anyone know where I could get data like this? (Ideally it would already be hooked up to a map so I can explore the data before building the whole thing myself.)

NOAA's National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center has an interesting daily snowfall dataset. Their daily archive is in KML format and goes back to 2005.
