Residents of the greater Syracuse area are still digging out after last weeks near record snowfall that brought over forty-three inches to the region in four days. The total, a mere one inch from the record books, pushed Syracuse into a commanding lead in this years Golden Snowball competition.
Syracuse is a near perennial winner of the award, which is held among five upstate and central New York cities to determine the snowiest city in the continental United States.
This years late start to the Winter put Syracuse at a big disadvantage to its chief rival, Buffalo, starting at a near two foot disadvantage. But those days are gone for now as the massive snowstorm has left our city with a nearly twenty inch advantage with more snow in the forecast.

Four Winter Veteran, Pete Ross said, "I have never seen this much snow up here, since I have been here, crazy." Mr. Ross has his own ideas about beating the winter blues. "I'm headed to India over Christmas break," he said, "I will be warm there."
Syracuse has won the annual award nearly seventy percent of the time since it began competing in 1951.
