Updated 1/1/15 – WTG Rochester and it’s about time you joined the snowball fight 😉 It had to be pretty embarrassing siting at the bottom of the snow hill for all of that time. It really has to be embarrassing when you were even losing to our vacation city to the East, Albany 🙂
All of the snow stats are up to date and it is a really close snow race with all 5 cities in the hunt for the king of the snow hill. Maybe The Roc was just hanging back and will start making their move now. Stay Tuned!

From my family to your family I wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! I also wanted to say Thanks to all of you have visited the site over the past year, took time to make a donation, leave a comment or dropped me an Email 🙂
Thanks to ALL of you who visit and the media for spreading the word about the snow contest. Our fun little snow site continues to grow each and every season. Of course if it doesn’t start snowing pretty soon that could change this season 🙁 Joking, a lot of time left… Here is an unofficial look at the traffic for the last few years and keep in mind it is for the entire year and not the Seasons.

Buffalo is just a few flake out of first place in the National Snow Contest, the Golden Snow Globe and it will be interesting to see if they can pull ahead of Grand Rapids, Michigan before the end of the year. Buffalo could actually end the year in the lead and start the new year with the lead in just a matter of hours time. Good Luck Buffalo ;)Buffalo continues to hold on to a slight lead and as I am typing all of the cities are within striking distance of taking the top spot on the snow hill this season, INCLUDING Albany 😉 Of course that could change pretty soon because it looks like Buffalo is expecting to get some decent snow today and tomorrow. If that pans out they should be able to add to their lead in the Golden Snowball Contest.
Have a Happy Safe New Years Eve Everyone!
Where are the snow totals taken from? Airports? CityHalls?
