I've learned over the years in Syracuse to stop being fooled by Spring. March is always unpredictable so I just tell myself that Spring really starts on April 20 - 21 ;) Hi Shane,

One might think it would be the opposite, but maybe I cheer for the snow more when there's a chance that a record will be set or something. I am definitely bummed that this is the second year in a row I haven't gotten the skis or snowboard on.

I guess I take after my dad when he was alive. He would just sit by the window and watch a decent storm and watch the cars trying to make it up the hill sliding all over the place. The tires & road crews weren't as good back then. During a decent storm people could be driving by my house at 1:00 am and see me out there shoveling. Nothing like being out when no one is around during a good snow storm. Just so peaceful! A lot of the time I'll jump in the car after and take a short ride just to get in the middle of it when the roads are empty ;) Two of my kids moved to a couple of the states you mentioned. My son is in Tucson, AZ and my daughter moved to SC. Unfortunately they both love where they are :( Frank, I’m with you when it comes to the snow. I guess I take after my dad when he was alive.

What has me a little nervous right now though is the National Snow Contest at www.goldensnowglobe.com . With Erie, Pa just a little over 3 inches behind Syracuse and Worcester, Mass 7 - 8 inches behind one of them may take the lead in that snow contest. If the forecasts are right, Worcester may be in the lead come the end of tomorrow. You were right Roger.

IMO the chances are during most seasons that the airport probably does get a little more snow. That said there has been many of times when I have measured several inches more at my house which is a little south east of the airport than the airport was reporting. It comes down to it is what it is :) The airport has always been one of the controversies here Lewis and you brought up a couple of good points.
