Lots of Changes in National Snow Contest

Billings, Montana holds onto the lead in the snowiest Big city in the United States snow contest. Billings added another 2.8 inches of new snow to their snow totals the last couple of days to win a snowball fight against Spokane, Washington.

Spokane, WA set a date record yesterday, 11/5 picking up 3.2 inches of new snow breaking the old record of 1.9 inches set back in 2013. More than enough snow to slip past Lakewood, Colorado and slide into the #2 spot on the snow mountain. Lakewood slipped down into the #3 slot Seattle, WA also set a date record with 0.4 inches to start off their snow season.

Anchorage, Alaska picked up 3.4 inches of new snow yesterday and moved from the number 10 slot to the number 4 spot in the national Golden Snow Globe contest. Anchorage is still almost 6 inches behind what the average snow to date should be which is 10.0 inches of snow.

Rochester, MN rounds out the Top 5 snowiest Big (population 100,000) cities in the US with 3.3 inches of snowfall on the season.

From what I have been reading and hearing it could start getting a little bit interesting for the Northeast come the end of the week. It looks like there could be a pretty good drop in the temps which hopefully sets up some lake effect snow. Should be fun if it does so stay tuned and have a Great day ;)

Anchorage Takes the Lead in the Golden Snow Globe Contest

I was watching the weather channel and saw that Alaska was getting hit by a pretty good storm. They mentioned winds of 100 MPH and snow. I was also hearing that Colorado and a couple other states were getting some snow so figured lets do a snowfall total update. It was worth doing :)

Anchorage, Alaska jumped into 1st place and are currently the king of the snow mountain for snowiest city in the US with a population of 100,000 or more. To be honest with you when I started this contest a couple of years ago I was thinking Anchorage would be the snowiest city but it hasn’t happened yet and probably won’t. I still think Erie, pa is a city for all of us to watch out for along with some of the cities in Colorado and New York. Of course with the weather patterns always changing who knows, we may be surprised by a city from the south coastal area ;)

A little bit of shuffleing in the top 10 but not a whole lot. At least 30 of the cities have at least measuable snow now of at least 0.1. The snow champ for the last 2 years and a couple of the other snow cities that are normaly on top still are only showing just a trace. I think this is the season we have a new king of the snow mountain and it should be interesting to see which one it is at the end of the snow season.

I noticed that some traffic was coming to the site from a school. I checked it out and it’s an assignment for the children & one question is to find out which of the cities we have listed here has the the most snow. I started thinking I better contact the teacher because it looks like the assignment has a date range between Nov. 7th – 18th. If that’s the case the students that got an early start will have one answer an the students that got a late start, students like I was will have another answer :) Anyways, there isn’t a school name so there really isn’t a way to contact them. Good Luck to the students though :( I’m sure the teacher will know that 2 different cities led so both would be right.
