Updated 1/14 6:30 am – All of the Golden Snowball Cities are up to date 🙂
——————————————————————————–
Updated 1/14 1:00 am – All of the snow stats for the day haven’t been reported yet. Syracuse and Binghamton are valid as of 10 PM, Albany didn’t report the last update and Buffalo and Rochester’s snow stats are only up until 4 PM. Chances are that Albany, Buffalo and Rochester will have some (maybe a lot) more snow to add come tomorrow morning. The snow is hanging just north of Syracuse trying to slide toward the city so they may have more to report also. Here is what we have so far according to NOAA.
Syracuse – 8.0 Record – Old Record 6.1 in 1989 They also set a rain record for the day.
Buffalo – 6.4 Record – Old Record 5.1 in 2000
Binghamton – 5.5
Rochester – 5.5
Albany – Trace?????

Start the GSB snow contest TAKE TWO – Let’s restart the contest all over like it never started to begin with. Here we are just about half way through January and only a foot of snow is leading the snow contest. Only a foot of snow for Syracuse which has held the bragging rights for the past several years as the snowiest city in the Golden Snowball contest.
Albany, which I consider the place to go in the winter to get away from the snow actually has a realistic chance right now of winning the contest. It would be the first time ever for Albany. They added another 2.6 inches of snow today to add to their totals for the season. Enough snow to slip past Rochester and go into 3rd in the snow contest. Albany in 3rd place in the middle of January just don’t seem right does is? Well, way to go Albany I suppose. Makes me wonder what Governor Cuomo
has up his sleeve 🙂
Make sure ya’s check out Stephen’s Point Blank Range Forecasts below 🙂
Right now the Golden Snowball Trophy is up for grabs for any of the cities. Snow is in the forecast for all of the GSB cities I believe and come the end of the weekend (probably sooner) there may be a new leader. I’m taking a guess that come the end of the weekend (Sunday Night) it will be
Rochester
Syracuse
Albany
Binghamton
Buffalo
Which city do think will be winning? Leave a comment with what you all think the line-up will be come the end of Sunday.
Take it slow driving and have a Super Day All 😉
Last night me and wifey and the kid loaded up the christmas tunes in the truck and cruised downtown to check out the christmas tree. We were totally in the christmas mode. Yesterday should of been Dec. 3rd. Snowblowers are going up and down neighbors driveways who they usually don’t even speak to during the summer months. The magic lake effect dust makes people act whack!
Yeah it is Eric 🙂 Nothing like some fairly decnt snow along with windy conditions to make it feel like winter.
Now this is more like it!
