Updated 11:00 PM – I just checked to see if NOAA posted any new snow stat.  After checking into it more I see that the next reports for Erie and Worcester will not be out until between 12:30 am and 1:00 am give or take.  Not sure what’s going on in Erie but it’s happening in Worcester right now and it looks like some more heavier snow may be moving in anytime now ;)   Jim Cantore from the weather channel is guesstimating around 6 inches from where he is in Worcester.  I’ll post the new stats when NOAA does a little later to see if we have a new leader.

Top 10 Just Updated -  Any Snow Updates From Worcester, MA and Erie, PA visitors? We’re Curious if it’s snowing there and how hard? Just leave a comment here to let us know what’s going on in your neck of the woods and Thanks for taking the time. :)   Any snow total estimates would be appreciated also ;)

Syracuse may want to be a bit worried right now. Erie, Pa closed the snow gap once again and are now just a couple of inches away from taking the lead. But then again, Erie, Pa may want to be a bit worried because Worcester, MA is expecting quite a bit of snow between today and tomorrow.

The National Weather Service was showing stats unavailable for Worcester, Mass as of their late afternoon update so it’s hard to tell how much snow is falling there. Erie added another inch + to their snow totals so come tomorrow night it should be interesting to see who is the latest King of the Snow Mountain.

Have a Great Night All and See Snow Drive Slow ;)

3 Way Race to Top of Snow Mountain

I just did a full update and the Golden Snow Globe contest just keeps getting closer with each update. Syracuse, NY continues to hold on to a slim lead to stay on top of the snow mountain but… Erie, Pa has closed the lead and are now just 3.5 inches away from them. Worcester, Mass is still hanging with the big boys and a few flakes here and there and they could easily move into first place.

Most of the other snowy cities in the US have some catching up to do but all it takes is a storm or two to change things around. I’ve been keeping an eye on the latest storm coming in from the west of the top 3 cities and being from Syracuse I don’t think I like it too much. Last I looked it is suppose to hang to the south of Syracuse. It will be interesting to see if Erie can tap into this storm at all or if it will stay south of them also. I have a feeling Erie may grab just enough snow flakes to slip past Syracuse. I’m haven’t seen yet if it is suppose to move toward Massachusetts yet??? If so Syracuse could be dropping all the way down to 3rd place on the mountain.

I left places like Baltimore, Maryland, Philly, Washington in the contest all season thinking they would do a repeat of a few years ago when they were getting in on the coastal storms but so far nothing :( That should change with this storm if it stays on the path they are predicting. Their snow stats have been pretty pathetic and this could be a chance for them to maybe at least break intot the top 50.

On another note I have been noticing a lot of visitors from Erie, Pa coming to the site from facebook. It took me awhile to figure out where they were coming from on facebook but I found out where and wanted to say thanks for mentioning the snow contest on your facebook page. If anyone is interested in Erie, Pa or from there and don’t know about their page it’s worth checking out and they have a ton of information about Erie along with a lot of great pictures and great people on there. It’s at https://www.facebook.com/#!/Erie.Pennsylvania

Have a GREAT Week Everyone ;)

Fantasy Snowfall 2013: February Results

Lots to discuss this time, so let’s just get to it! As always, the sleepers are in italics. Stephen used the 2 sleeper option this month, so he has 6 starters for February.

GSG Fantasy Snowfall 2013 February Results
Pat Steve
165.90 174.30
Starters (Full Credit)
Buffalo, NY 20.5 Anchorage, AK 16.5
Erie, PA 26.7 Cleveland, OH 19.8
Syracuse, NY 36.4 Rochester, NY 28.8
Worcester, MA 44.4 Salt Lake City, UT 14.7
Newark, NJ 10.8 Boston, MA 34.0
South Bend, IN 26.7
Total 138.8 Total 140.5
Bench (Half Credit)
Fort Collins, CO 8.9 Denver, CO 14.1
Green Bay, WI 18.9 Des Moines, IA 15.7
Spokane, WA 4.4 Madison, WI 22.7
St. Paul, MN 16.7 Minneapolis, MN 15.1
Pueblo, CO 5.3
Total 27.10 Total 33.80

It was a snow filled month for a lot of cities! Worcester dominated the way with almost 4 feet of snow in February. However, it was not enough for Pat as the bench totals ended up making the difference. 3 of the 20 cities did not reach double digit snowfall, and Pat had all of them. In addition, Steve’s use of the 2 sleepers option worked out well: starting South Bend for February resulted in a gain of 13.35 inches.

We add the January and February results together to find the overall standings so far:

GSG Fantasy Snowfall 2013 Standings
Teams January February March April Total
Pat 80.25 165.90 0.0 0.0 246.15
Steve 84.55 174.30 0.0 0.0 258.85

And Stephen leads by 12.70 at halftime. Now on to the starters for March.

Pat:
Buffalo, NY
Erie, PA
Fort Collins, CO
St. Paul, MN
Syracuse, NY

Pat has some catching up to do, but he might have the line up to do it. This also sets three roster spots for April: Green Bay and the two sleepers Newark and Pueblo. With 2 sleepers starting in April, he’ll have 6 starters, like how Steve did for February. Pat will also have to bench Buffalo, Erie and Syracuse.

Steve:
Anchorage, AK
Cleveland, OH
Madison, WI
Minneapolis, MN
Rochester, NY

In an effort to build the lead, Steve is going with the northern cities for March. Steve is now forced to start Denver, Des Moines and sleeper Boston for April. In addition, Anchorage and Rochester must be benched.

Can Pat make the comeback? Will any city outdo Worcester’s 44.4 showing?

Enjoy your weekend everyone!
