Golden Snowball

OK, just a quick update as I just took a look at the late snow stats. Rochester has moved to the top of the snow hill and leads the Golden Snowball contest. This is the first time that Rochester has been on top for the 2015-2016 snow season.

It looks like we may have a little bit of a warm up coming which will be nice for all of you traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday. I’ll post some updates if it snows and we have any changes. WTG Rochester and it looks like we have a fun snow season ahead.

Have a Great night all 😉

Updated 7 PM – Well that was a short campout for Syracuse at the top of the snow hill. I don’t think they even had time to pitch a tent while they were on top. Binghamton, NY wasn’t having anything to do with Syracuse taking over the lead from them and got enough snow to take back the top spot and Binghamton is the first city in the Golden Snowball contest to hit the 1-inch mark.

Rochester remains in 2nd place and now Syracuse gets bumped down the the number 3 spot on the snow hill. Looks like there is going to be a lot of back and fourth this season unless one of the cities decides to really snow it on to take a big lead. Where is Buffalo?

Updated 2 PM 11/23 – Syracuse took over the top spot on the snow hill once again and Rochester received their first measurable snowfall of the 2015-2016 snow season.  So far 3 of the Golden Snowball cities have snow this season and it probably won’t be long before Buffalo gets on the snowboard.  Maybe come the next update?

Syracuse slipped past Binghamton by a couple of tenths of an inch of snow and Rochester started their season off with 0.6 inches of snow which was just enough to move Rochester into 2nd place on the snow hill.  Yeah I know, pretty boring so far but just think, it’s only just begun 🙂

It will be interesting to see if Syracuse can hold on to the lead come the next update later this afternoon.  I’ve seen a few videos of some light snow falling in the Binghamton area today.  I’m not sure what is going on though in the other cities.  Stay tuned for a late day update if there are any changes in the line-up.

Snowiest Golden Snowball cities

For those of you that follow the National snow contest, the Golden Snow Globe things got going pretty good this weekend and cities are still adding to their totals.  Chicago set a couple of date records for snow and moved into 2nd place.  Anchorage, Alaska still holds a pretty decent lead in the National snow contest though almost having as much snow already as they had the entire 2014-2015 snow season.  Click Here to Visit the national snow contest!

Have an awesome day everyone 😉

Updated 11/15 – I just updated the snow stats and Binghamton received just enough snowflakes to take the lead back from Syracuse. Binghamton started off the 2015-2016 snow season, but Syracuse managed to take the top of the snow hill back from them. Binghamton wasn’t having any of that and now lead by just a tenth of an inch over second-place Syracuse.

One thing that stood out this last update was that all of the Golden Snowball cities had snow this time last season and it looks like they received it about this time in the year. Probably a good idea to break out the winter clothing and tune up the snowblowers, snowmobiles and whatever else 😉 Have an Awesome Day Everyone!
——————————————-

All is quiet in Snowsville, New York with the weather being frightfully warmer than normal for this time in the year. Binghamton and Syracuse received a little bit of snow earlier than normal but no snow for any of the Golden Snowball cities since then.

Let’s play one of our normal guesstimate games with the normal prize being a virtual pat on the back for whoever guesses it right. Which city do you think will be the first city to receive an inch of snowfall for the 2015 – 2016 snow season? Guess the city and also give a date that you think that the city will hit the 1-inch mark.

You can just comment on this post with your guesses and as always we will use the National Weather Service’s statistics. All in fun.

I am going to go with Buffalo passing an inch on 11/16

Have a Great Day All 😉

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!
