The Colorado Cities are Taking Over Snow Contest

Wow! The Colorado cities have pretty much taken over the Top 5 in the Golden Snow Globe snow contest for big cities in the United States. Rochester, New York is the only city stopping them from owning the Top 5 slots on the snow mountain. That will probably change come the next update.

Lakewood, Colorado is reporting 11 inches of new snow for today so far, Wow! Right now Lakewood has over 3 feet of snow for the 2019-2020 snow season already. They are blowing away what their average is for this time in the season. Lakewood, CO is reporting 36.4 inches of snow and their average to date is 11.9. Not only that, Lakewood already has well over half of what their average snowfall for the whole season is which is 55.8 inches if my stats are right ;)

I’m guessing come the next update that all of the large cities from Colorado will be in the Top 5. Those cities are Lakewood, Denver, Fort Collins, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs. Stay Tuned!

This storm is moving and from what I have read there may be another one setting up. As always, check with the pros before you travel for the Thanksgiving holiday. As much fun as I have with the snow contests I don’t like it when this happens during the holidays. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and Stay Safe All!!

Cities That Broke Snow Records November 11, 2019

Record Breaking Snow Falls Across the US!

Below are just some of the cities that broke a date record yesterday, 11/11 across the United States.  Pretty impressive to say the least.  We also have at least 50 large cities in the US now that have measurable snow for the 2019-2020 snow season.  I may be wrong and I normally am but I believe that this is by far the earliest that we have had 50 cities with this much snow this early.  At least since the Golden Snow Globe snow contest started 10 seasons ago  :)

As of the last update, your city will need at least a foot of snow just to slide into the Top 10.  Almost 2 feet of snow to take the lead away from Lakewood, Colorado which has 22 inches already.  The normal for this time in the season for Lakewood is just over 7 inches.  If my stats are right, Lakewood’s snow total for the whole season is around 55 inches.  They almost have half of that already, so yeah, this is an unusual start to the snow season.  Luckily the rest of our cities have the whole season ahead to play catch up :)

Below are some of the larger cities with a population of 100,000 or more which is based on the 2010 census that set snow records yesterday that were reported by our National Weather Service.  As I said, I’m impressed ;)

Colorado Cities Snow Into The Lead – Golden Snow Globe

Wow! This was the first full update for the 2019-2020 snow season and after yesterday, we have a Top 25 list for the snowiest cities in the United States. The National Weather Service was having problems for a while as far as reporting all of the cities but it looks like that is fixed now. I wasn’t able to get snow totals for some of the Colorado cities but I can now and WOW :)

Lakewood, Colorado is sitting on top of the snow mountain with a huge lead over most of the other cities. All 5 of the cities from Colorado are on the top 6 spots on the Golden Snow Globe snow mountain. Only 3 tenths of an inch separate Colorado from owning the Top 5 spots with Billings, Montana holding onto the #5 spot.

The good news is (well, Kind of) is the snow season is just beginning and we have a whole lot of snow ahead of us :) :( Remember that the snow contest is only for large cities in the US and the snow season starts on July 1st and ends at the stroke of midnight on June 30th.

Right now we have 33 cities with snow and that will probably go up come the next update. The cities from Texas are even in the snowball fight right now. My guess is they won’t be in the Top 50 by the end of the season but only Mother Nature knows ;) No measurable snow yet for the cities in New York, Pennsylvania and a lot of other states. Give it time ;)

Right now cities from Colorado, Montana, Wisconsin, Texas, Michigan, Indiana, Alaska, Minnesota, Kansas, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Illinois, and Missouri have had snow this season. Pretty Impressive!

Buffalo, New York is the defending Champion in both the National Golden Snow Globe snow contest and the New York Golden Snowball contest. It will be fun watching the season play on and watching all of the cities in the snowball fight to be crowned the National Champs. Have a fun safe snow season All :) Click Here for the Current Top 25 Snowiest Cities in the US!
