Updated 3/26 2 PM - I think if Syracuse ever goes ahead of Erie again I am going to get Mother Nature some antibiotics to take care of that sneeze once and for all
Erie, PA has jumped back into the snow lead as of yesterdays snow stats from NOAA and the crown is still warm from the last time they were the King of The Mountain. Right now Erie has a 2 inch lead on last seasons snow champ, Syracuse, NY. It’s starting to feel like I am watching a tennis match with all this back and forth going on right now rather than a snowball fight. Will that 2 inches be enough to hold off Syracuse come the next update a little later on?
Syracuse received some snow but most of it was after midnight which isn’t being reported yet. Erie may also have some more snow to add to their totals so it should be interesting come the next update.
Erie also received enough snow to make this their 5th snowiest season on record. They now have 133.1 inches on the season passing the 1993 – 1994 snow season which had 131.3 inches. WTG Erie and Congrats 
Stay Tuned!

Updated 3/24 - I said just a week or so ago that the snow race was so close that all it would take is for Mother Nature to sneeze over Syracuse for them to take the lead. Ummm, God Bless You Mother Nature Syracuse has taken the lead away from Erie, PA and is now sitting alone on top of the snow mountain. Don’t worry though Erie, maybe Mother Nature has a cold and all it will take is another sneeze for you to be back on the top of the snow mountain.
This is the first time since around the middle of December that Erie hasn’t been the Snow King. Time is running out but cold air is still in the forecast for at least a few more days if not more. Only 2 tenths of an inch separate Syracuse and Erie from the top spot now. No doubt this will be/is one of the closest contests we have had so far. WTG Syracuse
Congrats to Billings, Montana on setting the record for the snowiest season ever on record. Billings has had 99.1 inches of snow fall so far this season breaking the old record set back in the 1996-1997 season of 98.7 inches. WTG Billings and that 100 inch mark is right around the corner or should you go for a HOT 101.9 for the season Thanks for the heads up McLovin from HOT 101.9 in Billings, Montana. Maybe they should give away a prize if the season ends at 101.9 inches. Come on, put up Hot 101.9 
Stay Tuned and Have a Great Night
I live in Erie, 15 minutes from the airport where Erie gets it’s stats. My yard has 4 inches from yesterday’s storm, but I just looked up the airport total for March 25th and it currently lists only 2.4 inches. I read all the complaints about people saying this or that area just outside the city got more snow than the official total. People that live here joke about this all the time, as the airport data does not give accurate weather stats for the rest of the city. The airport is on the NW corner of the city, right on the lake. Pretty much everywhere else in Erie gets more snow and colder temps than the airport. Drive 10 miles south of the airport and that area gets up to DOUBLE the amount of snow. I’m just saying that no city has perfectly accurate stats. We have to accept that and just have fun with this contest. Congratulations to Syracuse for bumping us out of 1st! I must be the only Erieite left that is excited when it starts snowing…
To Amy, Karyn, Bill and all who commented about the airport in Erie. Unfortunately that is where they measure so it pretty much is what it is. It’s all out of my hands…
Snowfall in Erie started Tuesday after 5PM – grassy areas are mostly white, but the pavement took a while to whiten up where the sun had warmed it during the day
There are a few tenths of an inch out there, so Erie won’t go down without a snowball battle
It’s just starting out my way Gary, just outside of the city. It should be interesting come tomorrow when the stats come out. My guess is right now Erie is ahead but I don’t know if I can make it until the late night update comes out. I’ll do my best though
The Erie snow numbers were “MM” – missing – early this morning, but an update at 10:24AM shows 2.4″ for Tuesday and 133.1″ for the season.
That is enough for 5th place on the snowiest season list, but 4th is at 142.8″ – not sure people are ready for another 9″+ any time soon
Yeah, I was beat that night Gary but stayed up waiting for the new stats to come out to get a jump on the update. Should have seen my face when I saw the MM that night
