Record Breaking Snow Falls Across the US!

Below are just some of the cities that broke a date record yesterday, 11/11 across the United States.  Pretty impressive to say the least.  We also have at least 50 large cities in the US now that have measurable snow for the 2019-2020 snow season.  I may be wrong and I normally am but I believe that this is by far the earliest that we have had 50 cities with this much snow this early.  At least since the Golden Snow Globe snow contest started 10 seasons ago 

As of the last update, your city will need at least a foot of snow just to slide into the Top 10.  Almost 2 feet of snow to take the lead away from Lakewood, Colorado which has 22 inches already.  The normal for this time in the season for Lakewood is just over 7 inches.  If my stats are right, Lakewood’s snow total for the whole season is around 55 inches.  They almost have half of that already, so yeah, this is an unusual start to the snow season.  Luckily the rest of our cities have the whole season ahead to play catch up

Below are some of the larger cities with a population of 100,000 or more which is based on the 2010 census that set snow records yesterday that were reported by our National Weather Service.  As I said, I’m impressed
