A Three Way Tie in Snow Contest

Right now it’s a 3 way tie in the Golden Snowball contest which I can’t remember if that has ever happened before. There have been several times when 2 cities were tied for the lead but I don’t remember 3 cities being tied for the snow lead. Of course this is only because the overnight snow hasn’t been added yet. I suppose it’s all irreverent though because come the next update a little later it will be Buffalo ahead with a big lead 🙂

I’m hearing several reports of heavy snow along with lightning and thunder in the heavy snow bands around the Buffalo area. Also be advised that as I am typing this according to the National Weather Service and several other news stations The NY State Thruway is closed IN BOTH DIRECTIONS between Exit 46, Rochester, and Exit 59, Dunkirk. Just a heads up 😉

The Tug Hill area and Watertown are also getting pounded so get those snowmobile’s tuned up if you haven’t already the trails will probably be ready soon 🙂

I will post updates in this post as the day(s) go on as to what’s going on. The General posted a comment that Buffalo has a shot at breaking their old record of total snowfall in a 24 hour period. A yardstick of snow will break that record. I’ll do another update here when the new snow stats come out which will include the overnight and most of today’s snowfall. Stay Safe all and take it slow if you have to get out in it.

  1. As usual nothing at the airport. Just 3-4 miles south saw a spotter report of 51 inches. Central Erie county is totally paralyzed. Hundreds of people stranded cars abandoned everywhere. Worst Buffalo storm since 77.

    • Yeah, this isn’t good General and as Angelo just posted once this next round comes by and drops a lot more snow and then a warm up to make the snow heavier I think there are going to be even more problems 🙁 How is it where you live?

  2. Over 48 inches in the subursuburb of lancaster. It’s about 3 miles southeast of the airport where they measure. Only 18 inches or so there.

    • Hi Angelo and Wow to the 48 inches. Is Lancaster one of the places I was reading about that may get 70 inches or more? That 48 inches is more than a blizzard or nor’easter drops. Stay safe, that’s a ton of snow to deal with and Thanks for the update..
