Updated 3/2/15 - According to the National Weather Service’s last update Worcester, Massachusetts has once again taken the top of the snow mountain away from Lowell, MA. Both cities have been having their own little snowball fight and it looks like Worcester came out on top this round.
I think it’s time for a couple of the other cities to start playing at the top of the mountain. It will take less than 4 inches for Syracuse to take the top spot in the snowiest Big city snow contest and they are sitting in 3rd place right now.
Less than 10 inches separate the Top 6 cities right now and we all know that is just a storms throw away for any of the cities moving into the number 1 spot. Snow is in the forecast for a lot of the ities this week so you know it is going to be a interesting and better yet a fun week ahead. Have a great day and look for another update later in the day
3/1 - I can finally say to last seasons snow champs Welcome to The 100 Inch Club Erie, Pennsylvania Erie has been hanging at the 99 inch mark for a few days now but finally managed to pick up enough snow to join the club. It gets even better for Erie, you just slipped past Boston, MA to move into the number 5 slot on the snow mountain. WTG Erie and keep it snowing
We now have 6 Big cities (pop of 100,000 or more) in the 100 inches of snow club which are Lowell, Boston and Worcester, MA, Buffalo and Syracuse, NY and now Erie, PA. It’s a close snow race and any of those cities have a shot at winning the National snow contest this season. Let’s see if a few of the other cities can also make a comeback before the snowflakes stop falling. Of course that could be sometime in May the way the 2nd half of the season has been playing out
A lot of the cities in the snow contest added new snow to their totals today and it’s still snowing in a lot of them still. Tomorrow should be interesting and I have a feeling the Top 5 may change again. Stay tuned and welcome to the club Erie, it’s about time you decided to start playing again…
Have an Awesome Night Everyone and be careful out there…
I must say, this season is not the typical Erie winter that I love. I’ve lived here my entire life and we usually get tons of snow (literally, thousands of tons.) But the past 3 weeks have seen us in the single digits and, on many occasions, below 0. This is uncommon. Erie tends to hover in the 20s while the sky pours feet of snow on us every few days. But with this awful cold-snap the snow we have just sits there and we get nothing new. With how hard it came down a month ago I was sure we’d win this year. But instead we have the same snow we had a month ago because its been so cold. I can’t remember a winter this cold since I was in the single-digits myself (in my 20s now.) We hit -12 a week or so ago and the sky was completely clear as it tends to want to do when temperatures plummet to such a degree (pun.) I can only hope March heats up and brings back the snowy skies we are used to. I have a thing running with another store manager up in Syracuse that we will beat him yet again.
If it’s any comfort to you, I live in Worcester and I know we’re not going to win this thing. Once it does (finally) start to warm up, I suspect you, Syracuse and Buffalo’s snow machines will all fire back up and we’ll be done.
The thing is, when that happens, I doubt I am going to mind. Go team. : )
I don’t know Uschi, Worcester has hung tough til the end in the past. I think you will be in it right until the last snowflake falls Is that good or bad, lol
