Updated 6 PM 1/2/2015 – After a big snow storm it there always seems to be one of the stations that show MM which means more or less not reporting 🙁 . This last update it’s Rochester’s snow stats that we have to wait for. So in other words these are the latest snow totals as of around 4 PM for all of the cities except for The Roc.
So far depending on what Rochester has to report it looks like it will be either Buffalo or Albany winning this latest round in the snowball fight. Hard to tell if it’s still snowing around Albany and if they will have more to add. Either way it looks like Buffalo will be adding a little to their snow lead. Below are the snow stats from the snowstorm that hit yesterday and today for all of the cities except for Rochester. As always, keep in mind my fuzzy math 😉
Buffalo – Yesterday 4.4 – Today 7.8 Total = 12.2
Albany – Yesterday Trace – Today 11.8 Total = 11.8
Binghamton – Yesterday 1.9 – Today 8.6 Total = 10.5
Syracuse – Yesterday 1.2 – Today 8.5 Total = 9.7
Rochester – Yesterday 2.3 – Today MM, not reporting?

Updated Noon 1/2/2015 – It looks like this latest snow storm has just about passed through all of the Golden Snowball cities except for Albany at last glance at the radar. It should be interesting to see which of the cities got the most snow this last round. Lets hope that it isn’t Buffalo because their lead continues to grow over the rest of us.
Below are the latest snow stats from the National Weather Service and keep in mind that these are as of yesterday, 2/1/2015 and don’t include the overnight snowfall that the cities received. So far Buffalo is winning this round but of course with the way this snow storm was moving Buffalo would have been first in the snow and first out. Stay tuned for when the early evening snow stats come out a little later..
Snow Totals as of 2/1/2015
* Buffalo – 4.4
* Rochester – 2.3
* Binghamton – 1.9
* Syracuse – 1.2
* Albany – Trace
The national snow contest has been getting pretty interesting the last couple of days also with a lot of cities jumping around. It will be interesting to see if Buffalo, Syracuse or Rochester can move up in the contest. You can check the Golden Snow Globe Contest out Here!
Have a Great Day Everyone 🙂
There’s been some snow controversy in Rochester! The airport is measuring something like 8 inches for the storm total, but totals throughout the Rochester area are tending to be in the 12-15 inch range. I live right by the airport and there are over 12 inches in my yard. It was even on the news here – investigating how they came up with that measurement!
I wonder if that was the reason for they delay from the National Weather Service yesterday J.E. ? I was looking around and came across a snow total map for the Rochester area and most of the snow spotters in areas surrounding the Roc were anywhere from 10 – 14 inches..
That’s what I heard – that they were investigating it before accepting the total. It’s what we have to go with, but we can all mentally add another 5-8 inches 🙂 There’s more than enough time to make it up though!
No doubt plenty of time left J.E and it looks like Syracuse and Rochester are just starting to get into it now. Bruce, who is at the airport post a possible reason why the big difference in the comments here http://goldensnowball.com/ut-snow-rochester-slips-to-last-place-in-snow-contest/
