That's a lot of snow and from what they have been saying it's been nonstop for awhile now. We have a few places here in NY that normally get that much snow but I don't think they are even close to that amt this season. I should be able to get an update in sometime this weekend or later today and my guess is that Anchorage will still have the lead and most likely will gain on all of the cities. Thanks for the heads up ;) Hi Dayna,

I don't see any spare time coming soon. I agree with you about the comments and went back and forth with it last week. Now that someone suggested it, it's done. Thanks Diane!

Also, it seems to me like the most recent posts should be at the top of the stack instead of the bottom. One has to wade through posts from March 2010 to get to the most recent.

I keep coming up with the population around 65,000 - 66,000. Believe me, I would love to have some more snowy cities listed for the contest w/pop 100,000. *http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/04/0423620.html *http://www.citypopulation.de/USA-Arizona.html Chris, I looked around last year and just took another look for the population.

I remember when I was a kid visiting Texas, Mexico and New Mexico. I was expecting to see all sand and was surprised when I saw all of the mountains and how beautiful it all was. Sooner or later I will figure it out so pictures can be uploaded. Until then feel free to email any to comments@goldensnowball.com . Thanks again :) Diane, thanks for that great info.

It's funny, everyone kept mentioning Flagstaff, AZ; then all the other people would discard it as not meeting the population threshold. Flagstaff has over 125K in the city proper. Most of that in the last 10 years, but still..90 miles north of the hottest big city in the US (PHX), is one of the snowiest cities. It snows more in Flagstaff than 99% of these other places. Add Flagstaff. Check the population stats. It is larger than a bunch of the cities on this list. I happened across this.

Sandia Peak above ABQ is just over 10,000 feet, and there's a ski resort on the east side. Temps in the winter are usually lows in the 20s and highs in the 40s or above. Ave. snowfall is about 9 inches, and ave. precip. is also 9 inches. It has been very dry in 2011--we had only 3.55 inches of precip (no snow) all year until these last few days. Unlike Syracuse, ABQ is not accustomed to dealing with much snow, so all the schools were closed today and probably will be tomorrow. Lows tonight and tomorrow will be in the single digits. In 2006, we had 20.8 inches in December in two big storms. If your photo-posting was working, I would have uploaded pix of Sandia and Manzano peaks.

I do use NOAA stats which are official but they are also showing the same as Wunderground is. I have to admit that when I started this contest I was surprised to see that Albuquerque even got snow. Whats the normal weather there in the winter months? Diane, thanks for the heads up ;) I think I removed them at the end of last season but just added them back in.

They've had 1.1 in so far, not including what fell last night, and it's not over yet. Official weather is at the airport, but we have 3-4 inches on the ground at my house. It's not often that we have more snow than my birthplace (Syracuse). Here's the best source for info I can find at the moment: http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KABQ/2011/12/4/DailyHistory.html?req_city=NA&req_state=NA&req_statename=NA Patrick,
