Another quick update – The Syracuse snow stats were just posted a little while ago. They are showing 7.9 for today bringing their 2 day storm totals to 12.5 inches of new snowfall. The chart is as up to date as the National Weather Service is now 😉
Updated 12/27 – The new snow stats were just posted with the exception of Syracuse which is showing MM meaning the stats aren’t being reported yet. Surprisingly there were no changes in the lineup and the totals although pretty decent were a little lower than I expected them to be. Here at my house east of the city of Syracuse I measured 13 inches of snow. Buffalo took the honors with this snow storm picking up 12.3 inches of snow for the 2 days. That is unless Syracuse can top it when an update for them comes out. Here is the way it all played out the last 2 days and keep an eye on my fuzzy math 😉
Buffalo – 12.3 inches
Rochester – 11.1
Syracuse – 12.5
Albany – 7.8
Binghamton – 6.3

6:00 AM Update – I just updated the snow stats and they are from what has fallen as of yesterday so far. No doubt this has been a decent storm because I can tell by how many cars come into the yard taking the turn 🙂 2 so far for this storm with the last one being about an hour ago. One was able to get out on her own and the other one was buried pretty good so we were able to get him shoveled out about 4 am. Time for a nap and it will be interesting when the next update comes out. So as of the end of yesterday the storm totals are and don’t let them fool ya just yet, many more inches to be added to some of the cities 😉 Good Night
Buffalo – 10.1
Rochester – 8.5 Record
Binghamton – 5.1
Syracuse – 4.6
Albany – 2.9
——————————————————–
10:30 PM Update – As of right now Syracuse and Binghamton are the only cities that have updates out thanks to the Binghamton NOAA station. Buffalo and The Rock normally come out around 2:00 am give or take so you may not see them posted until tomorrow. Right now Binghamton is showing 4.1 and Syracuse is reporting 3.8 as of 10 PM for this snow storm. Any Guesstimates as to which city will have the highest totals for this storm? I’m going with –
Rochester – 15.5
Syracuse – 13.0
Buffalo – 11.5
Binghamton – 11.0
Albany – 8.5

Winter storm warnings are / will be in effect for all of the Golden Snowball cities so if you need to travel you should do it early. From reading around at the National weather service most of the heavy snow won’t be starting until later on for some of the cities.
Most of the forecasts are calling for at least a 8 – 14+ inches of snow between tonight and tomorrow afternoon. They are also saying we can expect 2 – 3 inches an hour at times which is a lot of snow coming down and normally will stop traffic. In other words as much as we are use to the snow you should stay off the roads for this storm. Keep an eye on your favorite news channel for changing conditions and take it slow. Below are links that will get updated by the National Weather Service as the snow storm gets closer.
Warnings for the Buffalo and Rochester Areas
Warnings for the Syracuse, Utica and Binghamton Areas
Warnings for the Albany and Surrounding Areas

Have a Great Day Everyone and Stay Safe 😉
I take back what I said! That was as of 7:34 AM. So 10.5 @ 7:34 AM with at least a couple inches more throughout the day.
Hi Tyler, we do use the NWS for the official stats. They did just put out their 10 PM update a little while ago and are showing 7.9 inches for today. Yesterday they posted 4.6 for the day so the storm total should be 12.5 for Syracuse which is pretty close to what I measured at my house. One of the news stations mentioned a storm total of 8 inches at the airport earlier which I found hard to believe. For today alone was more like it 🙂
I see on the NWS website that the airport has reported in 10.5 inches?
I’m assuming that’s where you get your measurement for Syracuse.
Wait I’m all confused. Are they saying all Syracuse has gotten is 4.6 inches? I brushed at least twice that amount off my car this morning.
Hi Crysania, that would have just up until midnight. That’s not counting the over night snowfall. I measured 13 inches here in the Fremont/Minoa area but I’m hearing some lower numbers of around 8 inches at the airport where Syracuse’s snow is measured. Chances are the city and surrounding areas got more snow than what fell at the airport.
Ah ok that makes sense! I was trying to follow what was going on and thought those totals were including everything to 6am. We definitely got more than 8 inches on the hill near SU! I had to have brushed nearly a foot off my car this morning.
Thanks for the update Patrick. So far NOAA is reporting 8.5 inches which would be for yesterday. It’s also a record BTW. I know Syracuse got a late start but it’s been it has been almost non stop. Been pushing cars out of my yard the last couple of hours. It should be interesting when all of the totals are in 🙂
Kevin Williams of Channel 10 in Roch is reporting 7 inches as of about 11 pm, also saying that he thinks Rochester will stay in the ‘sweet spot’ for the next several hours.
