Here it is only October 19th and we already have a lead change in the Golden Snowball contest. For all of you snow haters out there I think we are just getting some early fluke snow and most likely it’s not here to stay just yet. You may not want to look around the corner though because the snow is most likely hiding just around the corner 😉
Syracuse set a date record for snowfall yesterday with 0.4 inches and picked up their first snowfall of the season. The old record was just a trace of snow set back in 1976. Syracuse’s normal average snowfall totals for this time in the season is 0.1 inches of snow.
This also means that Syracuse is on the board now in the National Snow Contest for big cities and may be in 2nd place behind Anchorage, Alaska which has 2.8 inches of snow at last check. I will try and get an update in later in the day for that contest.
Mexico, NY and a few other towns picked up anywhere from 7 – 9 inches of snow which is even a little early for them. Glenn Coin has more info about the Mexico, NY area along with some good snow pictures here at Syracuse .com Stay tuned for updates as they come in.
Have a Great Day Everyone!
