Updated 2/27 6:00 PM – Buffalo took this last round and closed in on the 6 inch lead that Syracuse had. As of right now Buffalo only trails last seasons snow champ by 2 inches. It doesn’t get much closer than that. Go Buffalo 🙂
———————————————————————
Syracuse has added a few more snowflakes to their snow totals but Buffalo doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon. Right now it’s just a 6 inch lead for the defending snow champs Syracuse which we all know is nothing at this time in the snow season. That lead could change with just one snow event hitting Buffalo and missing Syracuse. Unfortunately for Buffalo is that they have been stuck at 99.1 inches for awhile now. The same thing happened to Syracuse when they were stuck at 99.9 inches.
One thing that has stood out the last couple of updates is the difference in snow totals for all of the cities from this snow season to last seasons. Buffalo, Binghamton and Albany really stand out and what a difference a season makes. Buffalo as of today has 99.1 inches of snow compared to last season at this time when they had only 47.6 inches. That’s 51.5 inches of snow more than they did this time last season. What they are over so far is more than what Buffalo had last season 🙂 Plus Buffalo is 22 inches over their normal snow totals for this date.
Albany and Binghamton both stand out also. Albany has 37.9 inches of snow more than this time last season and Binghamton has 31.6 inches more than last season. Both cities are also just about 20 inches over their normal snowfall to date. Syracuse and Rochester are right around their normal snowfall for this time in the season give or take a few inches.
I was reading around the NOAA website and it’s looking like the long term, next 10 days or so are suppose to be colder than normal. Just what we want to hear huh? Plus I was reading something about some possible storms for the beginning of March. It’s way too early for the National Weather Service to predict that far out but as we get closer to March it may get interesting in the Golden Snowball contest. Is anyone ready for Spring yet? Hopefully come April 😉
Have a Great Day All 🙂
Snowing pretty heavy in Buffalo this morning (an inch and a half an hour). Looks to be a quick 2 hour lake effect event. We won’t be passing Syracuse in the snow total but we should add about 3″ to our totals. Looks like Syracuse will add to their totals today too though.
Not much here Joe. A quick blast of maybe an inch a little while ago and another squall is just about to hit us here in the Syracuse area. Hopefully this one drops a little more and does it before rush hour. I think as long as Buffalo stays close and chances are come the evening update you will probably pick up a little on us. I’m seeing 2-3 storms to the west and that could get pretty interesting for all of the cities depending on which one makes out the best. It will also make the National snow contest interesting to see if Erie gets in on Snow or a mix and of course the same for Grand Rapids..
