1/16 – Just a heads up that Syracuse is over the 100 inch mark as of this morning 🙂 Now we bring you back to Stephen )p

—————-

With Martin Luther King Day on Monday, it’s a three day weekend for most people. So, I figured this edition of Point Blank Range Forecasts should be for Sunday through Monday. Before we get into this weekend’s outlook though, it’s a check of the outcome for the previous forecasts.

Last weekend’s GSB outlook involved snowfall for all five GSB cities. Below is the snowfall totals for each.

Albany: 7.7
Binghamton: 5.3
Buffalo: 3.5
Rochester: 4.2
Syracuse: 6.1

Bull’s Eye: Albany has more snowfall this weekend than the other GSB cities combined.
On Target: Albany has more snowfall this weekend than any other GSB city.
Complete Miss: At least one GSB city has more snowfall this weekend than Albany.

Albany had more snow than any other GSB city, but was far below the other 4 cities’ combined total, so the forecast is On Target.

That gives me 1 On Target forecast for the GSB region. Combined with the 1 Bull’s Eye forecast from GSG, I have 3 points out of 2 forecasts, giving me a 1.50 average so far.

Now on to this weekend’s outlook. Indications are that Lake Effect snowfall is in store for Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse this weekend, so the PBR Forecast is for those three cities.

Bull’s Eye: Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse each have snowfall totals of at least 6 inches for the weekend.
On Target: Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse each have snowfall totals of at least 3 inches for the weekend.
Complete Miss: Any other result.

Remember to check out the Golden Snow Globe site to see that update. Have a great weekend everyone!

  1. Dave, someone else just asked me that the other day and I found an old post of mine here which states.

    Charles McChesney who is a writer over at Syracuse.com mentions that only twice before …have we had that much snow by this point in the season going by the National Weather Service records. In the 2000-2001 season, 110.6 inches of snow had fallen by Jan. 14. In the 1995-1996 season, there was 105.7 inches according to his article.

  2. We seem to have had a pretty busy year so far with 100 inches coming fairly early here in Syracuse. What's the earliest we ever hit 100 inches I wonder?

  3. It's official 🙂 Syracuse is at 103.5 picking up 5.3 inches so far today. Lower than waht we got in the Fremont area.

  4. That would have been as of yesterday Danielle. The updated stats for the overnight and today should be coming out any time now. At least 6 here also 😉

  5. The Syracuse total as of 1/16 is just 98 inches but I've got 6 inches of snow in my driveway just from today. The total must be behind . . .
