I know what you are all thinking. Like they need any advertising at all right now up North and I am sure they have all they can handle right now. True but people are visiting another website I own and looking for plowing services. Here’s the situation! Myself and my partner started up a free local coupons and savings website for Central New York. We started it up not too long ago and we noticed it has been getting some visitors, not a lot but enough to our website at www.cnydiscounts.com that are searching for snow plow services in the Fulton, Oswego area. With the situation up there with roofs and them still clearing the snow the chances are some people might be having a hard time finding someone. Anyways, We figured we would give a listing to the north country so that maybe the people coming to our site can hook up with someone in their area who has some time to get around to them.
So if anyone snow plowers, residential or commercial from up north are interested in having their business ad listed at http://www.cnydiscounts.com/snow-plowing.html at no charge for the rest of this season just go to http://www.cnydiscounts.com/internet-advertising.html and scroll down to where it says Contact and send us an email with a brief description of your business info, area’s you can cover and contact information for us to post on the site. If you can offer the people some kind of discount like 5 – 10 percent off that would be great also but not necessary.
Ok, back to the Golden Snowball award. This last week has made a huge difference all around. A close race for first is slipping away but not over yet. After the 10.1 inches that Syracuse received from yesterday from some lake effect snow they jumped to a lead of over 2 feet. Now way did I imagine that would happen. Not this week anyways. Rochester remains just 5 inches away from sliding past Buffalo. I kind of expected Rochester to make some kind of charge but not a 2 day charge. Binghamton and Albany still need quite a bit but they took a huge jump after the storm. Neither are a threat yet but a couple more of those storms they could come into play.
Eric, a visitor to GSB sent an email to me about how if the snow we just received in Syracuse the last 29 days was all in one month we would of broken a monthly record that was set in January of 2004 of 78.1 inches. Eric mentioned that when he took his daughter to college on Jan 18th we only had around 12 inches give or take a little. If that’s the case that means from then until Feb 16th we have received around another 86 inches or so. That’s a lot of snow! There is still plenty of time even though Feb is a short month to break the Syracuse monthly record. Right now we are at 48.0 inches, only 30.2 to go for a new record. It would be interesting to see some of the other cities monthly records. Have a great weekend all!
I think we should get all of the students here at Old State out into the fields near the stadium to make 42,000 snow angels. 😛 If we can get some faculty and staff, too, that’d boost it by another couple of thousand at least.
I saw that on Fox news a little while ago Jill. Kind of depressing to see that big of a record set but pretty awesome none the less. It will be interesting to see what Syracuse’s next move is for the new record. I’m wondering if there is enough space close to the Carrier dome. Getting the fans after as SU game on a weekend would be worth a try.
Wow to still cleaning up after the October storm. Their doing a good job around here considering we got hit with another foot or so right after the V-Day storm. The snowbanks have settled quite a bit the last day or so which makes it easier to see out of the driveways.
I figure some of the plow drivers up North might be able to handle some more driveways if people can’t find any around them. Hopefully some will take us up on the offer and who ever is coming to that site looking for some help can hook up.
PS – some taunting pictures coming soon as DaCuse just went over the 100 inch mark. The way this winter started, no way would I have thought that any of the cities would be where they are this soon. I good blast of snow is hitting us right now as I type 🙁
I don’t know if you saw this or not, but it looks like we have a new snow angel record – North Dakota beat the heck out of Michigan’s record!

If Syracuse wants to beat that record, they definitely have their work cut out for them…
Good idea to advertise for plow drivers… I sure hope that everything gets under control up North soon. Believe it or not, I still see cleanup truck driving around here – *still* cleaning up from our October Surprise!
