It should be more like a sports championship...like the Super Bowl. The commissioner comes out, gives the trophy to the winning team on the stage and much confetti flies. And don't forget the parade. So, we'll call you the commissioner...you get to go out to Rochester, proclaim them the champions in front of the thousands in the crowd. Give the trophy to the Mayor. Get the head of the DPW up there. Maybe some of the Rochester meteorologists. Have it be broadcast in each of the 5 GSB cities. That's how you celebrate a championship.

Back home, in the ROC we just got a couple inches at home and on the west side by airport. I guess it was heavier south!

I think it was the first year that I started the national snow contest at www.goldensnowglobe.com Madison got quite a bit of snow. My guess is that at least 90% of the cities in the US are under their normal snow totals for this season. Hopefully I can get an update in this week on that national snow contest site. I'm sure Anchorage is still way ahead of the rest of us which is very unusual. I'm pretty sure they had their snowiest season on record or close to it.
