Recently, the U.S. Census Bureau released the results from the 2010 survey. As a result, there will be changes made in the upcoming seasons to reflect the population shift. As the post title states, the current leader, and last year’s champion, Syracuse, fell under 100,000. Syracuse’s population is now at 98,401, ineligible to be in the Golden Snow Globe contest.
It is pretty ironic since the reason Pat decided to start this contest was to see how Syracuse’s snowfall fared against other big cities on a yearly basis. There are several cities out there that get more snow than Syracuse, but don’t have the population. Now, Syracuse citizens will have the same feeling as those from places like Flagstaff, AZ when another city is declared the snowiest in the country, despite the “champion” having less snow. That is, of course, assuming Pat decides to keep the population threshold at 100,000.

April Fool’s!
Have a great day everyone!
Hey Stephen, good one and if I didn’t just read something about Syracuse’s pop finally starting to stabilize ya would have gotten me
Charles, as requested your first post was deleted
If it was snowing I’m sure there would have been many more of them and probably including one from me. Hopefully during the off season I’ll be able to update all the populations with the newest numbers and feel free to call me out if I get something wrong which I normally do. Thanks for the post 
By the way, I was turned onto your site by your biggest fans in DC, the Washington Post Weather Gang – and during our big storms of 2010, I followed their blog like some Hollywood celebrity follows TMZ. I was amused that all of those New Yorkers were almost “offended” by Baltimore’s rise to snow dominance. Of course Baltimore would have been happy not to have had that title, they would have welcomed all the snow plows and dump trucks from NY state, just to get rid of that darn snow.
