Buffalo, New York Wins Both The Golden Snow Globe and Golden Snowball Snow Contests

A Big Congrats to Buffalo, New York of winning both of the snow contests this season and for also being the snowiest Big city with a population of 100,000 or more. It’s been a long time coming and it was a fun close 2018-2019 snow season.

Buffalo, NY is officially the winner as of the end of yesterday, June 30th which is when the snow season ends. Believe it or not, the new snow season started up at midnight, July 1st :) Buffalo was able to hold on to a 3.8 inch lead over second place Syracuse, NY. It’s been a long time since Buffalo out snowed Syracuse which goes all the way back to the 2001-2001 snow season. Wow! Who would have thought it would take that long for Buffalo to take the bragging rights back? Not me! Kudos :)

I know it’s way later than we normally call the snow season but I figured after what happen to Erie, PA last season I would hold off until the snow season was officially over. Last season Erie had around 30 inches of snow taken away from them in the middle of summer. Let’s hope all of the adjustments have been made by now and there aren’t any mid-summer corrections :(

Buffalo wins the Golden Snow Globe snow contest.

Congratulations Buffalo!

How Buffalo beat Syracuse, Rochester, NY, Erie, PA & All of the Others

Yes, the obvious is Buffalo had more snow that all of the other cities, lol :P Buffalo ended up with 118.8 inches of snow this season which is about 2 feet higher their average snowfall for a season. That helped out along with Syracuse coming in this season below the average snowfall that they normally received. On January 25th Syracuse had about a foot lead over Buffalo but on or about January 26th Buffalo stormed past Syracuse to take the lead. I will have a season summary within the next few days laying out how this season played out. It was a lot of fun and I hope everyone else had fun also. Stay tuned for the summary and have a Great summer all ;) Final Top 25 Snowiest Cities in the US Here!

More to be added to this post!

We have three new cities in the top 10 for the first time this season. Boston, Mass, Erie, Pa and Hartford, Connecticut picked up quite a bit of snow since the last update at the Golden Snow Globe website. I knew Erie would make a move sooner or later and they have had it pretty easy up until the last week. Boston and Hartford are a little bit of a surprise but with the storms coming up the northeast coast they should keep cashing in on the white gold.

More of a surprise to me is that Boston is ahead of Worcester, Mass which you don’t see too often. Syracuse, still the snowiest city to beat most likely hit the 100 inch mark as I was updating the stats. A nice blast of lake effect snow dropped a quick couple of inches as I was updating and it hasn’t stopped yet. There are still several cities just a couple of good snow storms away from Syracuse so don’t think it’s a runaway for Syracuse. If South Bend can tap into another LES event like a couple of weeks ago they are right there with Da’Cuse. A couple more Nor’easters and several cities will be in the running ;)

According to the weather channel all of the US states received measurable snow with the exception of Florida. I don’t know if that is a first or not. I know it explains why this update took a little longer than normal with most of the cities listed here receiving some snow. That said, I will be dropping a few cities and adding a few. I know some of the cities in the southeast have picked up some snow and if you have a city in mind that you want listed that has received at least 10 inches give or take let me know. Remember though that the population has to be 100,000 or more. Hey,

Have a Great Week All :)
