I’m curious as to how all of the cities effected by snow storm Nemo are doing. It’s looking like the states on the coast are going to get what the experts have been saying.
Any snow where you live? I think from 4 pm on all snow is suppose to break out. Here in the Syracuse area just a few flakes falling so far. I’ll update this as the day goes on. Just post a comment as to what’s happening in your neck of the woods and I’ll post it on here 
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. You can check out your forecast using the link below and you can also see the warnings for your area by picking your state in the drop down under the map. http://www.weather.gov/
It’s still snowing in Erie, Pa and in Syracuse, NY. The flakes must be bigger in Erie though because they continue to be the King of the snow mountain. Erie is also adding to their lead over the rest of the cities and piled up a half a foot lead over second place Syracuse.
Make me wonder if they are doing the same thing that their Pennsylvania basketball teams have been doing to the Syracuse Orange mens basketball team. Letting them think they are in the game only to only to shut them down just enough at the end. So far Syracuse’s 3 losses are from PA teams, which were Temple, Villanova and Pittsburg. The good thing is that there is still plenty of time left in both the snow season and the basketball season Win or lose let’s hope it’s at least a Big East kind of season as this will be the last time most if not all play in the Big East 
I’m curious as to which is the college basketball team that is the favorite in the Erie, Pa area???
OK, back to snow totals. This was just a top 25 snowiest city update meaning I only went 25 cities deep. The top 10 should be a safe bet as I have them now but I didn’t go down past number 25 on the list. Chances are there are a few cities below that probably have more snow than some of the other cities in the top 25. I’ll get a full update in when I have a few hours to spare.
Take care and have an awesome week everyone!!!
OK, this is going to be a quick post while waiting for the power to come back on for the Super Bowl I’ve been working on the stats all day off and on and it was worth it. Is there a new leader in the Golden Snow Globe contest? You know where to look to check it out.
Less than 3/10 of an inch are separating the top 2 cities right now. Snow is suppose to be flying the rest of the week so I will keep an eye on the weather and try to get at least several top 10 updates in during the week.
Enjoy the rest of the game and let’s hope the 49ers get their act together to make the game a little more exciting 
Oh, and keep thinking of the numbers 9 and 8
Have a Super Week Everyone!!!
It’s February 1st, time to see the results for January! It was an interesting end to the month, I’ll have more on that below the table. As a reminder, sleepers are in italics.

I’m always amazed at how quickly things can change. On the 1/27 update, neither of our team totals reached 60 inches…but both of us hit over 80 for the month.
Now on to February. Pat and I set our rosters earlier, and here are our starters…
Pat:
Buffalo, NY
Erie, PA
Syracuse, NY
Worcester, MA
Newark, NJ
Pat’s going regional here, as all five starters are in the northeast. Also to keep in mind: Fort Collins, Green Bay and St. Paul still have to start at least once, while Buffalo, Erie and Syracuse must go on the bench once. Both sleepers still need to be starting one more time. Pat also has the “2 sleeper” option available, which would give him an extra starter in either March or April.
Steve:
Anchorage, AK
Cleveland, OH
Rochester, NY
Salt Lake City, UT
Boston, MA
South Bend, IN
I’m going with a more spread out look with half of my starters outside the northeast. I’m also using my “2 sleeper” option this month, giving me the extra starter for February. Denver, Des Moines and Minneapolis still need to start, while Anchorage, Rochester and Salt Lake City still need to be benched. South Bend has started the 2 months required for a sleeper while Boston still needs to start once more.
What cities will be the big snow getters this month?
Hey, have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the Super Bowl!
