All posts for the month May, 2010

It’s a Wrap!!! Congratulations to Syracuse on winning the 2009 – 2010 Golden Snowball Award. Yeah I know it’s getting old isn’t it? Once again Syracuse has been able to hold off the cities of Rochester, Buffalo and Binghamton to be king of the snow hill and capture the well sought after Golden Snowball Trophy.

This season was pretty much just a snow storm away thru a good part of the snow season to see what I thought may have been a new winner. It just never happened. What killed the hopes of a new winner in my opinion this season was similar to last years, a mild March and April. For the last two months, March and April Binghamton received the most snow and it was only 2.6 inch. Both Rochester and Albany received .2 inches for both months combined and Syracuse and Buffalo received just a trace of snow.

I think the biggest surprise was the fact that Buffalo ended up in 4th place. Binghamton, our southern city in the contest was able to hold on to 3rd place. I’ll have to take a look back and see if Buffalo has ever been below 3rd at the end of the snow race. Binghamton was also the only city to beat both their normal seasonal snowfall beat last years totals. The rest of us had what can only be described as an easy winter season. Wouldn’t it have been nice if Albany beat Buffalo??? I’m kidding, NOT. I’ll try to throw together a season summary in the near future but you all know how that normally turns out.

Enough said other than a BIG THANKS to everyone that visits here and has fun with the contest and thanks to all of you who post here which really makes the contest fun. That’s what it’s all about!!!

Have a Super Summer All!!!
