Wow, It’s hard to believe that it’s that time already to set the clocks ahead again isn’t it? Yup, come tonight before you go to bed or when you wake up tomorrow don’t forget to set the clocks ahead one hour. Or if you’re like me it normally takes a couple of days before I get around to it. My clock on the car radio was never changed in the fall so that one is good to go 😉 Don’t forget that the fire departments recommend that you also change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors each time you set the clocks. I still remeber how my Mom use to hate setting the clocks ahead. She knew she was going to be losing an hour of sleep and for what ever reason she would think about it until the clocks were set back again.
Yesterday was a pretty good snow day and night where I live, just outside of the city. It cam down pretty good off and on and last night the winds came through along with the snow and made it look like it was winter. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like that’s going to last too long with warmer weather in the forecast for the next several days 🙁 This season is going down to the last snowflake that falls and Rochester is still looking pretty good right now.
I have a feeling that it’s going to end up kind of like last nights SU basketball game. Syracuse was behind pretty much the whole game but started an awesome comeback. The only problem was they came up just a little short before time ran out. Well time is running out for Syracuse and the rest of the cities in the Golden Snowball contest and it just may be an upset when the buzzer rings come the last second of April. Being a big SU fan though, I never give up until the buzzer rings.
Shameless Plug Time – I’ve been getting quite a few sales from my Pets products site the last few weeks since I put it up. I’m not sure if the prices online are good or not or if it’s because there are a lot of good products like cat and dog food, dog houses, pet products for horses and so on. Anyways if you have a pet and buy online check it out at Pets Products Online and thanks 🙂
Have a GREAT Weekend All 😉
Hey Pat, did you see this article? He couldn’t have given you some kind of credit!

Hey ZR, been missing ya this winter. Of course with the winter we are all having the sites been pretty dead 🙁
No, I didn’t see that article and thanks for pointing it out to me. I don’t mind that he didn’t give me a mention ZR. It’s always nice but at least Tom gave credit to the website and a link back to it. He was one of the guys who got this going back in the 70’s and I actually called him when I started the site to get some resources from him about the contest.
Hows everything going there? Are ya ready to maybe have the Golden Snowball trophy sitting in the city of Rochester 🙁 🙁 Ha
Of course we are ready! It was tough to get excited about any of the snow this year. Even the snow we did get, I was out of town for some of it, so it was really a bummer.
No doubt this was a bummer of a winter 🙁 I still have one snow dnace left though Zr and I’m trying to decide whether to use it or not. I’m still thinking there is one good snowstorm hanging around 😉
Looking at the low overall season totals and prospect that Rochester might pull out a victory with fewer than 60 inches, it made me wonder…what is the lowest winning total for each city (if they’ve won at least once, that is). Any data on that?
Shane,
That’s a really good question. Here is a good link that will show you all of the cities snow totals by seasons. http://www.goldensnowball.com/yearly-winners-golden-award.htm
Albany is the only city that has never won yet. Just think, a nice Nor’Easter that stays to the east and they could win it this season maybe 🙂
