On February 11th, Patrick commented on the Golden SnowCast Forecast 11 Results post and wanted to know which, if any, Golden Snowball cities would pass Baltimore by the end of Sunday.
Something tells me it won’t be Albany or Binghamton, so those are eliminated right off the bat. So, now it’s down to 3: Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse.
As of the early morning NWS update, Baltimore has 79.9 inches for the season. It looks like they will stay there by the end of Sunday. Buffalo has 63.1, Rochester has 63.9 and Syracuse has 76.1. I don’t believe either Buffalo or Rochester will get over 16 inches of snow this weekend, so if any of the GSB cities will move ahead of Baltimore, it would be Syracuse which needs 3.8 inches to tie.
If Syracuse is going to get 3.8+ inches, it’ll be from Lake Effect. That will likely occur from Saturday afternoon through Monday. It’s hard to believe that a LES storm lasting that long won’t drop at least 3.8 inches in a given area.
Syracuse will be the only Golden Snowball city to have more snow than Baltimore by the end of Sunday.
If you believe you can Stump The Weather Chump, leave a comment for the region and element you want predicted along with any other details you want to give. Try to keep it something that is close to my range (2-3 days preferred), but I will be as flexible as possible with all requests.
Eh, it looks like you did a fine enough job stumping me as it is.
Jim, I should of said by Tuesday. I would of ahd a better chance of stumping PSUSyr5. I hope Baltimore gets the snow. I like this contest being close
PSUSyr5, $50.00 in your Pay Pal account if the forecast is right ;0 Might as well make it interesting
Calling for another 5-8″ of snow in Baltimore area Monday-Tues, so Lake Ontario may have to give up more than a paltry 3.5″ to keep up!
