CONGRATS BUFFALO, NEW YORK
2021-2022 SNOW CHAMPS IN THE
NY GOLDEN SNOWBALL SNOW CONTEST!!! 🙂

Congrats Buffalo, New York on unofficially winning the NY Golden Snowball virtual trophy 🙂 Remember, the snow season goes on until the last second of July 30th. So nothing is official until The National Weather Service posts the final snow totals. Unless some really crazy weather happens (It Won’t) Buffalo will be the official winner. I’ll try and do an end-of-the-season summery in the next day or two.

All Buffalo, NY had to do this season was to be close to their yearly average at the end of the season to win, and they were. Buffalo was the only city out of the 5 to hit their normal season snow totals 🙁

I would have felt calling it a week or so ago like some others did but the snow was still in the forecast and let’s face it, this snow season has been a crazy rollercoaster of temperatures and snow. The weather is still riding the rollercoaster it looks like but the temps should be a little too warm for much snow. JMO 🙂

Meanwhile, check out the Awesome graph below that Jim Kulak made for the contest and let us use it. It pretty much sums up the snow season for Buffalo, Rochester, Binghamton, Syracuse and Albany. Check it out!  Thanks, Jim, I appreciate it 🙂

The snow stats below show how much snow on average each city receives between May 1st and June 30th. It also shows the most snow between May and June for each city. Nothing is impossible but it will take record snow for Rochester or any other city at this time to pass Buffalo.

Most Snow and Average Snow for May Thru June (National Weather Service)

Rochester
Highest – 10.9 inches.
Noraml – 0.1

I’ll be adding to this post as the days go by and I will be adding any new snow that may fall to the city totals.  If you enjoyed the snow site and the time that goes into keeping it up to date, Please click on the donate buttons to make a donation to the site.  They Help A LOT!!!   You don’t have to join Pay Pal and they do accept most credit cards.  Thanks in advance and it’s been a Fun snow season.  A little boring as far as the amount of snow this season but still Fun.

  1. And with the latest stats sifting down finally the rest of the field has caught Buffalo…if you add them all together, you 116.5 to 116.3 inches to date.

    • Sorry Shane, I just saw this and love it 🙂 Pretty pitiful for all of the cities except Buffalo… I’m going to post this in the snow group right now. I tend to spend the most time there and it’s a fun, easy group. A good group to just read or comment. Here is the link if you are on Facebook. Thanks for the comment, Patrick. https://www.facebook.com/groups/861746940543642
