Provo Utah’s New Snowfall Moving Them Up the Snow Mountain

There was more movement in the snow contest than I expected and Provo, Utah made the biggest move climbing up 32 spots on the mountain. Provo added 10.5 inches of new snow to bring them all the way up to the top 10 snowiest cities group. They only had 0.5 inches the last update and I’m now showing 11 inches of snowfall for Provo. Utah’s totals. Pretty impressive but not even close to enough to challenge the top spot on the snow mountain.

Billings, Montana continues to hold on to the title of King of the Snowiest big cities. So far anyways ;) The problem is, for the rest of us that is, is that they continue to cushion their lead it seems every time I do an update. All we can do is sit by and hope that when that cold air moves across the country that the rest of us can tap into it and pick up some new snow to add to our totals.

It’s been quiet this side of the country in the east/northeast but that cold front should be moving in sometime this weekend. I think I may go and get a generator to jump start that lake effect snow for all of us in the northeast. Erie is still holding tough in the second place spot. Right now there are probably about 13 cities right behind them though and just waiting to push them down the snow mountain a few spots ;) I think it will come down to which way the wind blows this weekend and who will get rain or snow.

I’m still loving how the contest this season is staying really close with a bunch of cities in striking distance of taking the top spot from Billings. That is if they ever slow down to give us a chance. The movers this last update were the Colorado cities, obviously Utah, South Dakota and Billings. Enough for now and have a Great day All :)

It’s Erie, It’s Rochester, It’s Syracuse, It’s Giving Me a Headache

Updated Right Around Midnight - It seems like I am trying to make a Snow Angel but I just keep going around in circles the last few days. With the Thanksgiving Day holiday I am having a hard enough time trying to figure out what day it is let alone trying to keep up with which city is leading the National snow contest. In the voice of President Ronald Reagan all I can say is “Here We Go Again“. Some snow stats came out a little earlier and the New leader who was an old leader a few updates ago is once again Erie, Pa. Congrats again to all of you from Erie on pushing Syracuse down the snow mountain and reclaiming the top spot :) I guess I’ll just leave it at that and say STAY TUNED once again ;)

Updated 2:30 PM Friday 11/29 - Wow, talk about a lot of different lead changes. We have a new leader in the Golden Snow Globe National Snow Contest and go figure it’s Syracuse, NY., last seasons champion. This is something like 3 different leaders in 3 days and the good news is that the snow race is still really close. Only 4 tenths of an inch is separating the top 3 cities which are Syracuse, NY, Erie, PA and Rochester, NY. Just 0.1 inches separating Erie and Rochester for second place. If I were a betting man, oh yeah I am :) I would bet that there will be quite a few lead changes on the top of the snow mountain before this season wraps up. Enough for now and if anything changes come the next update from the National Weather Service then I’ll post another update. Stay Tuned ;)

Updated Noon Thanksgiving – Sorry Erie but your spot as King of the Snow Mountain was pretty short lived.  I just updated the New York snow contest and as of the wee hours of the morning Rochester, NY has taken the lead by a couple of snowflakes now.  Rochester is reporting 11.6 inches of snowfall as of the end of yesterday.  You were there for a few hours at least Erie, more than my Syracuse can say ;)

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

—————————————————————————————-

Congrats to Erie, Pa for taking the lead in the National Snow Contest by a couple of snowflakes. Erie picked up just enough snow to overtake Anchorage, Alaska for the top spot on the snow mountain with this last storm that seemed to benefit the northeast cities. Not mine of course but a lot of the other cities in the snow contest moved up the mountain and as of about 3:00am this morning Erie is the king. The question now is can they hold onto the lead with the top being pretty close between a few of the cities? The cold air looks like it is here for awhile so most like the snow will keep falling. Enough for now on this Thanksgiving Day. Enjoy All!

Happy Thanksgiving From Our Family to Yours! Have a Safe Happy Holiday :)

Erie and Syracuse Battling for Second Snowiest City

First Off Thank You Philip G. for your donation. All of the donations really do help out a lot so don’t be afraid to click on that donate button :P .

Just did a Full Update – and Sorry about the lack of updates but my grandson who is 4 1/2 months old was in town for a week and well my buddy trumps snow ;) Born in South Carolina but no doubt he will bleed Orange, Syracuse Orange that is :)

Worcester, MA continues to rule the top of the snow mountain with a pretty good lead but don’t count Erie or Syracuse out of this seasons snow contest yet. Both cities are slowly inching their way closer to Worcester’s snow totals and there is still enough cold air around for one of the cities to make a charge.

Even though it didn’t show in the stats there was a quick flip flop for second place. Yesterday Erie, PA slipped past Syracuse, NY by a couple of tenths of an inch to take over the number two spot. Well for a little while anyways. With the last update from the National Weather Service Syracuse was able to take over 2nd place again by just 1 tenth of an inch over Erie. Right now there’s a pretty good snowball fight going on for second place between the two. Snow is in the forecast so the next couple of days will be interesting.

More to come but it’s almost time for the NCAA Brackets. Good Luck!

Lucky 7′s for the New Snow King Erie, Pa

UPDATED – 6:30 PM – I just did a double check of the new snow stats that just came out for the top 3 snowiest cities. There is a change on the top of the snow mountain and the New Snow King Erie, Pa has the Lucky Sevens, 77.7. Congrats but Don’t get too use to it though my friends in Erie.
——————————————————————

I just did a full update on all of the snowy cities in the US. Rumor is going around that Erie, Pa may have taking the lead again. The National Weather Service updates the snow stats anywheres from 2 – 3 times a day depending on their weather station.

That said, this update has the newest snow totals as of the end of yesterday, 2/19. I’ve had a couple people say that they think Erie could be in the lead now. With that in mind as of yesterday Syracuse still holds a slim lead of just 0.7 inches over Erie. That may change when the new snow stats come out around 5:30 this evening. I’ll look and see what both Erie and Syracuse are reporting for the overnight and part of today and add those totals to see who is in the lead before I head out to catch the Syracuse basketball game. Go Cuse’.

Snowiest City in the U. S. Contest Still Close

The snowiest city in the United States is still a tight snow race and could be right down until the last snow flake falls. Syracuse managed to get just enough snow and t wasn’t much to hold off Erie, Pa to remain King of the Snow Mountain since the last update. Worcester, Mass is still right behind the both of them and don’t count out Rochester, NY yet either. They have been slowly sneaking up on everyone the last few weeks.

One announcement to make is that a snow dance has been done in the Syracuse area :) I felt that the time was right and with the low snow totals we have so far in the Syracuse area it was well overdue also. It normally takes around 2 – 3 days for it to start having any effect on the weather so we’ll wait and see what happens. I suggest someone from Erie and the other cities also try a snow dance if you want to keep up ;) We also have a Snow God which resides in the Fairmount area which is just outside of the city and I’ve been informed that it has been awaken and the light is shining. I have a picture somewhere of it and I’ll post it if I can find it.

Keep in mind where are many weather dances and you could be putting your entire city at risk :( A few years back one of our visitors to our sister site the www.goldensnowball.com  contest decided to try a dance. Well all hell broke out when instead of heavy snow or a snowstorm, high winds hit the city of Buffalo knocking down trees and knocking out power to thousands. True story, lol. So You Have Been Warned!

Have a Great Weekend All…

Looks Like The North East May Be Finding Nemo

Posted by Patrick on February 7, 2013

Or should that say that the snow storm Nemo will be finding the North East. There is a storm brewing and if everything turns out like they are saying this storm could be a game changer for several of the cities in the Golden Snow Globe contest.  Can Erie, Pa get enough snow to stay King of The Snow Mountain?

So far from what I have been reading and watching on the weather channel it looks like some of the cities in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut and other states may be getting pounded pretty good. Winter storm warnings have and are being posted for a lot of the cities and I’m hearing blizzard mentioned quite a bit. It will be interesting to see which city can cash in with snow storm Nemo.  I’m guessing Worcester, Mass may move the closest to the top of the snow mountain :)

Keep in mind that if this storm does pan out, take it seriously. Jess who posted a comment can tell you how fast 3 – 4 inches of snow an hour can stop traffic dead in it’s tracks. That’s including those of us who are use to driving in heavy snow. In other words if this storm does happen, take the day off and stay off the roads.

Stay safe everyone and if you See Snow – Drive Slow, unless you’re on a sled of course. Look for updates as the numbers come in from the National Weather Service.
