Just a heads up that I started up the National Snow Contest a couple weeks ago. The national snow contest is called the Golden Snow Globe and is for any city in the United States with a population of 100,000 + You can check it out HERE at the golden snow globe website.
Right now Rochester and Syracuse are knocking on the door of less than an inch of snowfall in one day record. In other words both golden snowball cities haven’t gotten an inch or more so far this season. The latest Syracuse has ever gone without an inch in one day is December 22nd. As of yesterday this has been the second longest they have gone.
Rochester’s will break their latest snowfall total of less than an inch if they can hold off the snow until the 22nd. The latest they have gone is Dec. 21st which was back in 1939. This will be their 2nd best without an inch if they make it through today. With snow in the forecast in the next couple of days it will be interesting to see if either of the cities can do it.

Hey there cousin Patrick, Pam and I wanted to say Merry Christmas to all y’all and we know its snowing up there, so we’re looking forward to the first major lake effect snowfall total post – especially to help us recall the many Xmas memories of years past. Hope all is well in your world and with these past few years of many weather records in central New York, here’s hoping Santa brings Syracuse the opportunity to eclipse Buffalo’s all time total seasonal snowfall record – 76-77 – a year in which we all shoveled far too much! ttyl – Cousins Mike and Pam, exports to North Kakilacki.
