Just a Foot of Snow Separating the Top 3

I'm still loving how close the golden snowball contest is this season. Just a foot of snow give or take a little separates the top 3 cities. For those of you who follow the contest you know that's nothing.

Syracuse seems to add a little here and there each day but so does Rochester and Buffalo. I just wish that one of the bigger storms like the one that just hit the coast would start coming farther up north and more to the west so that we can have some fun too.

I did just update the Snowiest city in the US website at goldensnowglobe .com and things are getting really interesting for the national snow contest. Check it out at Golden Snow Globe.

Cheers and have a Great night all!!!

Eeny, Meeny, Miny Snow

I just took a look at the radar and the game eeny, meeny, miny, moe comes to mind when trying to figure out which city is going to make out the best in the next 24 hours or so :) Any Guesses???

Right now it looks like the winds have shifted around Buffalo and coming from more of a north - northwest flow right so in my opinion all 3 of the Big cities have a shot at piling up some good snow amounts with either Buffalo, Rochester or Syracuse getting a little extra over the others. If I were to guess and that's normally all I can do (remember I'm clueless) I would guess that the heavier bands are going to set up right between Rochester and Syracuse.

That said Buffalo added another 5+ inches to their totals since the last update so they have a shot at taking the lead if the Arctic air stays on more of a northern pattern. Again, remember the source. Me :( Either way it should get slick in all of the cities off and on and lets see if we can come up with a lead change.

Here in the Syracuse area a pretty good band went by this morning dropping around 2 inches in probably under an hour and most likely did the same for Buffalo and Rochester. IMO it's a toss of the coin as to which city will win this round of snowfall. Right now mostly sunny with the winds picking up ;)

Have a great Evening and remember "Snow Means Slow"! Take it easy out there.

Rain and 50 Degrees or Snow and 25 Degrees

Sorry about the lack of updates but there hasn't really been anything to update. All of the golden snowball cities are below their normal snowfall for this time in the season. The next few days hopefully will start things up again but for how long. Let's hope the rest of the snow season. Yesterday was a warm but rainy day which makes me ask,

Would you rather have a day like yesterday with a ton of rain and the temperature around 50 degrees or would you rather have the cold and snow? My opinion is that the weather yesterday was just to dark and gloomy for me. I'd rather have the white stuff falling myself.

Hey, how about DA'CUSE? Great game against Georgetown last night and a great season so far. GO CUSE!!!!!

Both of Our Snow Contests Mentioned

Sean Kirst a journalist for the Post Standard here in the Syracuse area put out an article today that mentions both our New York State snow contest and our new national snow race which I thought was pretty cool. You can check it out HERE at Syracuse.com . Thanks for the mention and the story Sean ; )
