OK, it was fun watching Billings, Montana climb the snow mountain the last week or so but enough that’s enough snow now. Now you are messing with my home town Syracuse, New York 
I suppose I may as well cheer you on now seeing how you just passed Syracuse and it looks like you are still climbing the snow mountain. OK, Might as well go all the way to the top to make things exciting and I think we are well overdue for a change of the throne. No offense to Grand Rapids of course but there haven’t been a whole lot of lead changes this season.
So far there have only been 4 leaders in the national snow contest for the 2014 – 2015 snow season. Out of the 4 leaders Grand Rapids has by far been sitting at the throne at the top of the snow mountain the longest. That said the snow contest has been close all season long with just a few inches separating some of the top snowiest cities in the U.S..
Here are the cities that have led so far this season and when they held the lead. Keep in mind the dates are give or take a day depending on when an update was done during the snow season.
Anchorage, Alaska – 10/20/2014 – 11/14/2014
South Bend, Indiana – 11/14/2014 – 11/15/2014
Erie, Pa 11/15/2014 – 11/18/2014
Grand Rapids, Michigan 11/18/2014 – Current Leader
Billings Montana continues to move up in the National Snowiest Big City Contest with a population of 100,000 or more and has just jumped another couple of spots. Billings just slid past Syracuse and Buffalo, NY to take the number 3 slot in the contest and from reading around there may still be more snow on the way for them. There was quite a bit of shuffling around with a lot of the cities adding some snow to their totals the last couple of updates.
Sioux Falls, South Dakota has moved up quite a bit the last few days and broke a date record yesterday picking up another 5.0 inches of snow breaking an old record of 3.9 inches on the day set back in 1951. WTG Sioux Falls, SD
Have a Great Day Everyone and Stay Safe – See Snow – Drive Slow unless you’re on a sled of course
Erie is getting snowballs ready to toss at Grand Rapids as we speak. We have received about 4 inches in the last 3 hours and at least 5 to 7 more are forecast overnight. Move over Grand Rapids. THWAAATTT! Gotcha!
Dave and Alan, It’s going to be interesting for sure come the morning when the totals for today and tonight come out. Grand Rapids has hit 40.3 inches and I think Billings will also be adding more along with Erie. Erie is just a little over an inch away from catching Grand Rapids. I’ve been waiting for ever to say WE HAVE A NEW LEADER! Let’s see if it happens
Hey, what can I say…. ERIE is once again the SNOW KING! Our snowballs are bigger than your snowballs…. Seems to me that if you want bigger ones, you need to hold your breathe so that your snow doesn’t melt before it accumulates………LOL…. cmon….BRING IT ON!
