Our great capital of New York has finally gotten on the snow board reporting in with 1/10 of an inch. GO ALBANY! I wonder if the schools were closed there seeing how they are not use to getting that much snow all at once. Joking aside it’s nice to see all of the cities showing something now. Most of us added a dusting to our totals but come Thursday the totals should go up quite a bit.

Thursday could get interesting with a clipper like storm showing up in some of the forecasts. If the forecasts are right some of the GSB cities could be getting a decent amount of snowfall. It will be interesting to see if any of us can pick up some snow totals on Buffalo or if Buffalo will extend it’s lead. By the end of Friday Buffalo should have over 3 feet of snow so far for the 2006 – 2007 season.

Below is a video that Summer_of_41, one of our forum members from Indiana found at youtube.com showing an awesome view of lake effect moving into buffalo this weekend.

Well Albany ruined what could of been snow for all the Golden Snowball cities. They are still snowless for the season and looking at last years numbers of 30 inches for the season it’s no surprise. The other 4 of us all got something and Binghamton is finally on the snow chart with .6 inches. One thing I have learned is never count Binghamton out. They tend to sneak up on everyone throughout the year.

Buffalo continues to snow pile up on the rest of us, shoveling another 5.4 inches and setting a date record dating back to 1940 that stood with 4.9 inches for yesterdays date. Rochester picked up just .3 inches and Syracuse had it’s first snow cover picking up 1.9 inches of the fun white fluffy stuff.

Buffalo’s total snow for the season is an impressive 30.2 inches. I think by the end of the week I might list how I think the order of the cities will come in this year. Obviously it would be a no-brainer not to pick Buffalo but I am thinking they need between a 3 – 4 foot jump in order to fend off the snowfall champion Syracuse. Have a great day all.
