Sunday Morning – All of the snow stats should be up to date now!

Midnight – First of Way To Go Syracuse Orange!!!!!!  They beat UConn in a nail biter to lock the champion spot in the regular season Big East.  WTG and keep it going guys!  Anyone looking for the champion t-shirts ya know I got ya covered 😉  Check out the SU Big East Championship T-shirts here!

OK, I  just did an update but all the stats aren’t in for today.  Buffalo & Rochester are as of about 4pm Saturday & Albany isn’t reporting.  Bingo and Da’Cuse are as of 10 pm Sat.

It looks like it’s snowing halfway decent in several of the cities today.  Buffalo managed to bump Binghamton back down to 4th place and it looks like it’s still snowing there.  Here in Da’Cuse we had a decnt snow band this morning but it went by pretty fast.  It’s been light snow non stop so far so we’ll see if the totals can add up.  The best part is the winds are kicking so it looks like winter out there.  Hows the snowfall where your at?  I’ll update when some more stats come in.

On another note I had to add the reCAPTCHA to the comments section.  That’s where you have to type the words in to verify it’s a legit comment.  I’ve had to spend about an hour a day getting rid of spam that another program hasn’t been blocking.  I know it’s a PITA but right now I have no choice.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Warning Shameless Pet Store plug below so I can try and make a buck or two at my real job 🙂

Buffalo Move Up Rochester Adds to Lead

Buffalo picked up just enough snow to slip past Binghamton and move into the third place slot on the snow hill.  I think the bigger story is that Rochester continues to add to their lead and now are 10 inches + over second place Syracuse.

Rochester is showing 3.8 inches of snow for yesterday while Buffalo is reporting 3.3 inches of the fluffy white stuff.  Still a lot of time to go but with the way this winter has gone so far that 10 inch lead is looking pretty good right now 🙂  I’m sure Lake Erie is still wide open so Buffalo still has it’s snow machine ready to crank out some lake effect.

I think any of the Golden Snowball cities still have a shot at the trophy this season.  OK, Albany don’t really count 🙂  Any thoughts on which city you think will win it this season???

Have a Great Day All!

Syracuse Starts up Their 2011 – 2012 Snowfall Season

Syracuse is finally on the snow hill for the 2011 – 2012 winter season.  NOAA is showing 6 tenths of an inch for Da Cuse which is just enough to put them into 3rd place.  It’s an early start compared to last season for Syracuse and they have doubled the snow amount that they started off the season last year.

Yesterday they picked up .6 inches of snow compared to last season when they picked up .3 inches of snow exactly one year from today.  So does that mean that Syracuse will be doubling last seasons snow totals?  If I were a Syracusan, Oh yeah I am, I would hope not 🙂  250 something inches is a little (a lot) too much for even myself.  Now it’s Buffalo’s turn.

Buffalo is the only Golden Snowball city  left to post some measuable snowfall.  I’m sure it won’t be too long from now and Buffalo always likes to start up their snowy season with a grand entrance.  I’m hoping that they do 🙂  I’m also hoping that this season all of the snow in the Buffalo area falls right at the airport.  It’s looking like it’s going to be a fun snow contest this season.  It already is just by having Albany in the lead.

Have an Awesome Weekend All and check out the new Christmas Inflatables and Snow Globes out at one of our new sites.!

Albany Continues to Be King of the Snow Hill

I’m not sure how many time Albany has led the Golden Snowball contest since starting the site almost 10 years ago.  It would seem like this is probably the longest they have held on to the lead though.  Go Albany!!!  I just updated the snow stats and nothing new for any of the GSB cities other than the average snowfall totals.

Today is the first time I saw it snow this season and it only lasted about 10 minutes :(.  It could get interesting though with this little cold spell that will be around for a day or two.  I don’t think Buffalo, Syracuse or Rochester can overtake the snow hill but maybe Binghamton will give it a shot 😉

On a cool note I always think it’s cool when our snow contest gets a mention in the press whether big or small.  I was looking around and saw a mention and link to the golden snowball site from the Weather Journal blog at The Wall Street Journal.  Pretty cool IMO and thanks Eric Holthaus for the mention 😉 

Snow, Snow, Snow and a Ho, Ho, Ho!  If you’re looking for the place that Santa Claus gets his Santa suits from I’m pretty sure it’s at Santa-Costumes.com .  Yeah another shameless plug to one of my Christmas sites.  Hey, have a super Friday all 😉
