Black Friday Sales at Walmart and Other Stores

OK, ya know I have to try and get some plugs to some of my shopping sites before the snow really starts to fall. We have a few sites that have been updated and one is geared toward apparel and clothing for teens. Both boys and girls clothing. We listed several of what we feel are the top clothing stores for teens at teenscloset.com . Trendy and fashionable shirts and tops, pants, jeans, dresses, shoes and all other apparel.

Another site which includes a lot of toy stores including Walmart is toy-stores.info . I think at last check we have 10’s of thousand of toys and games there and for the best results use the search at the top of the site.

One of my favorite sites that we are still working on is college-sports-apparel.com which is college merchandise. Last I checked we have around 80,000 college products which include some great sweatshirts, t-shirts, jerseys and other sports apparel for almost every college team around. College logo T-shirts and sweatshirts with my favorite logo are definitely one of my favorite Christmas gifts 🙂 Of course in my case it would be Syracuse sweatshirts and t-shirts.

Happy Thanksgiving All

First and foremost a Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!!! I like the rest of you I’m sure are looking forward to spending time with family and friends this Thanksgiving. I’m also thankful for the great family and group of friends that I do have and most thankful for the 3 wonderful children that I have.

As far as snow goes, looking at the stats it looks like we are off to a snow season pretty much just like last season other than Albany kicked off the Golden Snowball contest instead of Binghamton. The last I looked at syracuse.com Syracuse has gone enough days in a row without at least an inch falling bringing it up to the 7th longest period without at least an inch of snow falling at one time since stats have been kept. We’ll have to do a little research and see what Bingo, Buffalo and the Rock are as far as that category goes. Enough said for now because we all know there is still a longggg snow season ahead of just waiting to start up.

Have a Super Happy Thanksgiving Everyone and a Special Thanks to Those in The Service Protecting Us.

Snow Plowing in the Syracuse and Surrounding Areas

I figured that seeing how quite a few visitors end up here searching for snow plowing I would add a section for blowing businesses. This way someone looking for snow plowing can hook up with someone in their area. So if you do plowing in the winter send the info to me at comments @ goldensnowball . com (leave the spaces out) and I’ll list it here.

Snow Plowing by The Other Side

You can send your contact information and the areas that your willing to plow for people, along with cost or free estimates. If you want you can send a logo or business card in picture format and we’ll post that. This is just for the Syracuse, Buffalo, Rochester, Binghamton and Albany areas. Oh, and the cost of a listing here at GSB is free by the way only for snow plowing though. Big bucks if you want to advertise here for something else 😉

Albany Strikes First Let the Snow Games Begin

Albany officially kicks off the 2010 – 2011 Golden Snowball Contest. NOAA is showing that Albany picked up 1.3 inches of snowfall yesterday. Way to go Albany and enjoy the lead while you have it. Last year Binghamton started off the snow contest.

Just a trace of snow for the other 4 cities which include Binghamton, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse for anyone new to the website. Is this the season that Syracuse finally goes down? Will there be an upset? I think Syracuse’s winning streak may be broken this season for the fact that it’s been too many consecutive wins for them. The question is will it be Buffalo, Rochester or Binghamton that takes over the throne as king of the snow mountain? Yeah right Albany, don’t even dream about it 🙂 Hey, ya never know.

Have a Safe Snowy Season All and Remember,

SEE SNOW DRIVE SLOW!!!
Unless your on a snowmobile of course. Be Careful All!

Are We Ready to Start The Golden Snowball Contest

Who is ready for the snow to start falling? I’ll give a no comment for now anyways 🙂 ZR just posted that Albany is most likely getting ready to start the 2010 – 2011 contest up. I have to be honest I have been avoiding the site in hopes that my fall weather would last/start. It does look like there are a few warm days coming up but I think we all know that we can’t go to much longer without more than just a trace of snow.

I’m still not too happy that goldensnowball.com had to be moved over to blogger so most likely I’ll be changing over to wordpress which is another type of blog so stay tuned to that.

I’m also going to be giving a little space to snow plowers on the site so if that’s what you do in the winter and are in/around any of the cities in the contest then send an email to comments @ goldensnowball . com . Remove the spaces. Include your area that you plow, rates or free estimates, contact info and whatever else as long as it’s not a book 😉

Good Luck to All the Cities and

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE KNOCK SYRACUSE OFF THIS SEASON!!!

And The Golden Snowball Award Goes To – Syracuse

It’s a Wrap!!! Congratulations to Syracuse on winning the 2009 – 2010 Golden Snowball Award. Yeah I know it’s getting old isn’t it? Once again Syracuse has been able to hold off the cities of Rochester, Buffalo and Binghamton to be king of the snow hill and capture the well sought after Golden Snowball Trophy.

This season was pretty much just a snow storm away thru a good part of the snow season to see what I thought may have been a new winner. It just never happened. What killed the hopes of a new winner in my opinion this season was similar to last years, a mild March and April. For the last two months, March and April Binghamton received the most snow and it was only 2.6 inch. Both Rochester and Albany received .2 inches for both months combined and Syracuse and Buffalo received just a trace of snow.

I think the biggest surprise was the fact that Buffalo ended up in 4th place. Binghamton, our southern city in the contest was able to hold on to 3rd place. I’ll have to take a look back and see if Buffalo has ever been below 3rd at the end of the snow race. Binghamton was also the only city to beat both their normal seasonal snowfall beat last years totals. The rest of us had what can only be described as an easy winter season. Wouldn’t it have been nice if Albany beat Buffalo??? I’m kidding, NOT. I’ll try to throw together a season summary in the near future but you all know how that normally turns out.

Enough said other than a BIG THANKS to everyone that visits here and has fun with the contest and thanks to all of you who post here which really makes the contest fun. That’s what it’s all about!!!

Have a Super Summer All!!!
