The way Syracuse and Grand Rapids, Michigan have been going back and forth I think it is only fitting that they get in a tie for second place on the snow mountain. Makes me wonder how you have a snowball fight when you are right next to each other? Hopefully they are teaming up together and throwing some snowballs up the mountain at Erie, Pa to try and knock them off the top spot where they have been for awhile now 
Syracuse had a good shot last night at taking a big chunk of snow off the lead that Erie, Pennsylvania has right now but blew it. The same thing happened last night that has happened most of the season for Syracuse. Some nice lake effect snow was falling to the north and was expected to drop down into Syracuse but instead the band broke into smaller bands and I’m guessing only 3-5 inches of snow fell. It will be interesting to see what the National Weather Service has to report come the evening update. Chances are that if Grand Rapids didn’t get much overnight and today then Syracuse may be in 2nd place alone come later on.
Also interesting is the storm that is hitting some of us now and will be hitting the Northeast come Sunday and Monday. I thought it was looking good for Syracuse a day or two ago but it may be looking good for Erie. The last I looked it seemed like the heavier snow may stay to the south of Syracuse just a bit. I think that is advantage Erie, PA. The good thing for Syracuse and the rest of the cities trying to catch them is that these forecasts change by the hour so a little shift one way or the other could change things. Anyone from Erie, Buffalo or any other city that is suppose to get hit hearing anything on this snow storm? Stay tuned and if I’m around I’ll try to get another Top 25 snowy city update in later.
Have an Awesome Weekend All and as always – See Snow – Drive Slow unless you’re on a sled of course…..
Erie, here.
I know they’re calling for 1-3 inches here Monday. The forecast is much more severe down south towards Pittsburgh. Snow forecast for them is 8-12 inches from Sunday night into Monday.
@ Gary and Dubs, Thanks for the updates and I’m starting to see the same thing. NOAA just put out a briefing for our area and are also calling for the storm to stay further south than they first thought
That said I think I will do a snow dance, the last of the season to see if we can get some snow here in Syracuse. Here is the latest weather briefing on the storm
WJET-TV Friday AM forecast is calling for “light” snowfall on Sunday/Monday but it’s still 3 days out – track will determine where it hits and the storm is still in CA
KDKA radio in Pittsburgh this morning talking possibility of 6-12″ to the north but probably between Erie and Pittsburgh if you believe WJET forecast
Did you see my earlier rep[y on hitting 9th place?
