You will all have a chance to catch up because we are in the midst of 10 days or so of clear cold weather here. I'm enjoying it although the temps are in the minus numbers between one and sixteen, but no shoveling! Good luck!

Oswego hasn't had too much snow either this season have they? My daughter graduated from there and man is it cold walking the campus. Hated visiting there sometimes because of the brisk winds coming off the lake. Right now it's windy and snowy here in Syracuse and it looks like it's been up North too so you must be getting some decent snow right now. Hopefully it will last now for the rest of the season.

I'll add it to the next post I make when I do an update in the next day or two. I was going to do an update the other day but saw that a storm was coming across the Great Lakes and decided to hold off. The reason being it takes about 3 hours to do a full update and I wanted to include this snowfall rather than trying to find six hours to update the stats twice. I don't think any big snow was falling other than in AK so chances are Anchorage will be adding to the lead. Now that you/ak are finally giving up some of your cold air maybe the rest of us can start trying to catch ya's ;) Anne,

I am here in Anchorage and as of yesterday we broke all previous records for the amount of snow to date. We have had 81 inches as of yesterday and it is still snowing today. 81 inches is about twice what we normally have to date. In 94-95 we got 77 inches by January 9 and ended up with 120 for the winter. That year was beaten by 1954-5 which got 132.8 inches for the year and only 75 inches by January 9th. I was here in 94-5 and I recall that everyone started worrying about roofs collapsing under the snow. It happened in several places in town including the church down the street from me. The small towns of Cordova and Valdez are also getting hit with more snow than usual: http://www.adn.com/2012/01/10/2256990/cordova-short-of-shovels-as-snow.html. Thanks for this site. Somewhere nearer the beginning of the season I couldn't find the total for Anchorage anywhere else. Sorry to hear that you are not getting much snow down there.

As a snow lover, by this time last season there was so much snow that I have to admit I started hating it a little. I just don't understand what's happening this year, its quite depressing :( I got to SUNY Oswego, which takes a pounding from the lake each winter, but I root for Da Cuse.

That cold air helped out a few of the cities including yours and mine (Syracuse). Now we need to keep it going ;) Cory, top 10 man.

Here in the Syracuse area we have a slim chance of a white Christmas. Something we normally take for granted. I can only remember a few times when we haven't had a white Christmas. Last year I couldn't even get the lights up on the roof because we had too much snow and the ice built up on it. They are up this year but nothing looks the same without that nice bright snow :( Cory, I feel your pain and this season has been pretty lame to say the least.

South Bend, Indiana, where I am from has only received 3.9 inches, and they are not even calling for any snow in the 16-day forecast. I can't remember a year when we have had no snow on the ground for Christmas AND New Year's. Not even a trace. For snow-lovers life myself, this is depressing :) How crazy is it that the top 5 from last year have not even received five inches of snow yet.

I'm a little bias so I would say Syracuse. Then again with only 0.7 inches of snow so far this season maybe not. I do love the Northeast though :) Teresa, where are you from now.
