While I believe the top spot is out of range, I could see this season end up in the top 5 when all is said and done. Wouldn’t it be something if all five GSB cities got over 100 though? Let’s make it happen Albany!
As for Binghamton, Buffalo, and Rochester, they are each outside of their respective top 10s, but are in striking distance. This is Binghamton’s 14th snowiest season, 2.1 inches away from 10th. This is Buffalo’s 23rd, 13.7 below 10th. For Rochester, this season is 17th, 12.7 behind 10th. Again, these rankings are all since the 1951-52 season, so the rankings are a bit standardized.
If that one day is Saturday or Sunday, I'm fine with that Pat. Gives me an excuse to just sit on the couch and watch some college hoops all day. 😉
Tom, I think it's getting old for most of us. It's been a daily thing it seems this season rather than us getting hit hard, then a few days between. I'd still like to hit the 200 mark just for the fact that it's not too often we get this close. After that, Bring on Spring 🙂 OH, and let's do it in one day to get it over with 😉
This kind of weather makes me want to become a bird and fly south for the winter…I can handle 20 inches of snow in a winter season but this is a bit much… and it seems like it just never stops….
Just one of the famous March Nor'Easters and it would probably happen along with Syracuse hitting that 200 inch mark.
