Like the Snow Site and The Time That Goes Into It?

Feel Free to Buy me a cold one or Two :) Ok, it really helps offset some costs and maybe, just maybe a drink or two ;)

Past Snow Seasons Champs

This new section is probably one of the coolest on the site for the fact that it compares all the Golden Snowball cities dating back to the 1940 – 41 season; Remember the snow contest didn’t start until the late 70’s by meteorologists in Rochester; That’s what I think is pretty cool is we get to go back and see who would of won if the GSB contest started way back in the 40’s; This section all happened thanks to Steve Madsen who resides in Buffalo and took the time to gather all the stats from NOAA and put them together. A Big Thanks Steve for the hard work 🙂

    It seems like historical data is missing after 2019, are you able to update so we can see the past few seasons?

    I’m looking for the 2014-2015 numbers. The prior champs info ends at 2013-2014. Or am I missing something?

    Looks like 1965-65 belongs to Syracuse, not Binghamton:

      Thanks for the heads up Gene. I’ll take a look and make sure I didn’t get the numbers wrong when I transferred all of that data from another page. There is a lot that needs to be updated on that page. Thanks again 🙂
