All posts for the month December, 2010

First off I’m going to try and get an update in a little later tonight. Probably just the top 10 but maybe a full update.

Here are a few pictures and a video from today in the Syracuse area. Actually about 5 miles outside of Syracuse. The snow has been coming down pretty much non stop now for several days. Loving every bit of it except for the shoveling :)

12/7 – We just did a top 10 update as of 10:30 am :)

OK, all of the Golden Snow Globe cities have been updated and posted as of late 12/6. Quite a few changes in the line up but Spokane, Washington managed to hang on and that’s without them adding to their snow totals. They won’t last long. The northeast made out the best this last update and come tomorrow there will be some more changes.

One thing to keep in mind is that when I am checking the snow stats at NOAA the times of the last update for certain cities varies by as much as 8 – 10 hours. An example would be that Syracuse’s snow stats came out at around 10 PM but Buffalo hasn’t given an update since around 4:00. So there is a good chance that Buffalo may be ahead of Syracuse. Different NOAA weather stations post at different times. That said I’ll try to get a top 10 update in tomorrow so stay tuned :)

Have a great week all and drive careful – See Snow – Drive Slow!

Yeah, Yeah I know they probably began a month a go and I’m dropping the snowball big time. No doubt about that. Well it’s time to start up the Golden Snow Globe contest for the 2010 – 2011 snow season and all the stats have finally been updated. Will Syracuse be a repeat snow champion or will the second national snow contest have a new winner? I don’t have a clue but I’ll bet it will be another fun winter season. I see Stephen was at least making some posts and I love the Thanksgiving forecast :)

I had to double and triple check some of the cities near the top so far. When you look you’re probably going to be as surprised as I was to see what city leads the contest. Maybe not but last season the were second from bottom and now they have a pretty good start on a lot of the other golden snow globe cities. As always, we’ll try to get in as many updates as we can but remember it takes about 2 – 3 hours for each update.

Here in the Syracuse area it’s been slow as far as snow goes and we are looking to break our longest period without at least an inch of snow falling in a day. The 2010 – 2011 snow season for Syracuse is already the second longest we have ever gone so now is the time to take advantage and get a head start on us. Good Luck all and let’s hope we all have as much fun as last season. We are always open to suggestions so feel free to post them. You can post your comments on pretty much any post we make even though it may say no comment. That just means that no one has made one yet on the post.

Have a Safe Fun Winter Season and remember “See Snow – Drive Slow” unless you’re on a sled of course :) )
