2 Snowflakes Between Syracuse & Erie

Worcester continues to defend their top spot as the King of the mountain but can they stay there? Syracuse and Erie are still running flake to flake and it seems every time Syracuse tries to spread a little snow between them Erie just blows them off and closes the snow gap even tighter.

Right now Worcester’s snow lead is only 5.5 inches over Syracuse and just 5.7 inches over Erie, PA. The last couple of days here in the Syracuse area have been pretty sunny unfortunately or fortunately depending on how much you like or hate snow. Erie on the other hand has been able to pick up a few inches of fresh snow. Luckily for both cities Worcester is quiet as far as snow goes for the time being.

I’m not throwing in the shovel just yet but if I were a betting man I think I would lay the odds right now at:

Erie, PA 2 to 1
Worcester, MA 3 to 1
Syracuse, NY 3 to 1


Just a hunch. Have a Super Week Everyone ;)

Syracuse and Erie Melting Away Worcester’s Snow Lead

Posted in: All US Snow Cities, Worcester MA Snow. Tagged: , , , , , .

Both Syracuse, NY and Erie, PA were able to pick up some snow the last couple of days to melt away a little bit of the lead Worcester, MA has. Syracuse and Erie both finally past the 100 inches of snow totals cutting the snow lead down to just over 8 inches now. Worcester did have over a foot of snowfall more before this last update. Keep in mind that there is probably more snow to add from the overnight to Syracuse and maybe Erie also. I’m loving the fact that this is still a really close snow contest this late in the season and that cold air is still in the forecast :)

Let’s talk hoops for a minute. Massachusetts must have something against me. First ya’s take the lead over Syracuse in the snow race and then one of your teams goes and knocks one of my final picks out of the NCAA Tournament. Cut me a little slack would ya Mass? Yes I’m talking about the good/great win Harvard had over New Mexico. Nothing like shredding one of your brackets on the first day of the tourney :( To be honest it’s pretty much my bad for picking New Mexico to go all the way when I haven’t even seen them play this season. No doubt my new formula that I used on that bracket is getting tossed. At least I had Georgetown on the same bracket playing New Mexico and not on my other bracket which is now my good one if you want to call it that.

That said I had Arizona losing this round so Harvard can’t hurt me on this round. I always cheer for the underdog when I can so even though you trashed on of my brackets, Go Harvard, I’m cheering for ya’s ;)   Good Luck on your brackets everyone!

OK, We did a full update of all of the cities and I’m thinking about cutting that list down quite a bit come the next update. Most likely to around 25 – 30 cities and then I’ll be able to get more full updates in. Keep in mind that right now it takes about 3 hours to get the stats together and post them all. I’ll see how it goes and look for more top 10 updates as the snow falls.

Have an Awesome Weekend Everyone and Let’s Go Orange. Syracuse Orange that is ;)

Worcester, Ma Storms Their Way to Snowiest Big City in US

UPDATED 3/8 8:30 AM – Just a heads up that I just posted a full update on all of the cities at http://goldensnowglobe.com/all-snowiest-us-cities/  Keep in mind that most of the snow stats don’t include the overnight snow so places like Worcester, Syracuse and so on will be going up when the official snowfall stats from the National Weather Service (NOAA) come out later in the day.  Good Luck and Good Night  ;)

The top 3 cities were just updated by NOAA and Worcester, Mass has taken the lead in the national snow contest for big cities with a population of 100,000 or more. Congrats to Worcester for making it as King of the Snow Mountain.  I do have to say that I am not surprised but I am impressed ;) Now, can you hold onto it???

Snow storm Saturn dropped enough snow on Worcester to slide them past both Erie, Pa and Syracuse, NY. WTG Worcester and I’ll have more come tomorrow. I’ll also get a new top 10 update in sometime tomorrow and perhaps a full update in.  The latest stats are;

Worcester, Mass – 86.1
Syracuse, NY  -  85.9
Erie, PA -  83.3

Have a Super Day All and Drive Safely!

3 Way Race to Top of Snow Mountain

I just did a full update and the Golden Snow Globe contest just keeps getting closer with each update. Syracuse, NY continues to hold on to a slim lead to stay on top of the snow mountain but… Erie, Pa has closed the lead and are now just 3.5 inches away from them. Worcester, Mass is still hanging with the big boys and a few flakes here and there and they could easily move into first place.

Most of the other snowy cities in the US have some catching up to do but all it takes is a storm or two to change things around. I’ve been keeping an eye on the latest storm coming in from the west of the top 3 cities and being from Syracuse I don’t think I like it too much. Last I looked it is suppose to hang to the south of Syracuse. It will be interesting to see if Erie can tap into this storm at all or if it will stay south of them also. I have a feeling Erie may grab just enough snow flakes to slip past Syracuse. I’m haven’t seen yet if it is suppose to move toward Massachusetts yet??? If so Syracuse could be dropping all the way down to 3rd place on the mountain.

I left places like Baltimore, Maryland, Philly, Washington in the contest all season thinking they would do a repeat of a few years ago when they were getting in on the coastal storms but so far nothing :( That should change with this storm if it stays on the path they are predicting. Their snow stats have been pretty pathetic and this could be a chance for them to maybe at least break intot the top 50.

On another note I have been noticing a lot of visitors from Erie, Pa coming to the site from facebook. It took me awhile to figure out where they were coming from on facebook but I found out where and wanted to say thanks for mentioning the snow contest on your facebook page. If anyone is interested in Erie, Pa or from there and don’t know about their page it’s worth checking out and they have a ton of information about Erie along with a lot of great pictures and great people on there. It’s at https://www.facebook.com/#!/Erie.Pennsylvania

Have a GREAT Week Everyone ;)

The Top 10 Snowiest Contest Just Got Closer

OK, this is going to be a quick post while waiting for the power to come back on for the Super Bowl :) I’ve been working on the stats all day off and on and it was worth it. Is there a new leader in the Golden Snow Globe contest? You know where to look to check it out.

Less than 3/10 of an inch are separating the top 2 cities right now.  Snow is suppose to be flying the rest of the week so I will keep an eye on the weather and try to get at least several top 10 updates in during the week.

Enjoy the rest of the game and let’s hope the 49ers get their act together to make the game a little more exciting ;)   Oh, and keep thinking of the numbers 9 and 8 ;)

Have a Super Week Everyone!!!
