Bomb Cyclone or not, Syracuse - the Alabama football of snow - has a five-inch lead in this year's Golden Snowball

Every winter, the Fab Five cultural centers of Upstate New York - Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton and Albany (sorry, Utica!) - battle for the "GOLDEN SNOWBALL" award, given to the city that coaxes the most white stuff from Old Man Winter (and, no, that's not a sexual reference.) 

This winter, as usual, Syracuse has sloshed out to a commanding lead. The Salt City - winner of the last 10 Golden Snowballs - stands five inches ahead of plucky Rochester and six above Buffalo, which received national attention from a televised Bills game in December. Nevertheless, we're running three inches behind our normal pace - and 19 below last year.

Right now, we are in our two-minute drill, putting up some numbers. I am peering out my window and not even seeing a street.

  1. Aww, I'm in the Utica area! We deserve representation! Fortunately we probably didn't get more an a foot so far this year. Living in the Mohawk Valley a lot of it passes us right by.

  2. Reported that Yanks would "love" to sign Toddfather if price is right. Ugh. I wouldn't give him a roster spot for cents. Not enough mustard in NYC to cover that .211 batting average hot dog. Todd Frazier stinks.

  3. So, this evening I turn on the TV...and there she was!!

    The IBS Lady, gamboling all over the screen, in a brand-new ad! (This one includes the caveat that whatever stuff she's selling could lead to "prosteatitis, hospitalization, and death.")

    What better promise of spring could there be? The IBS Lady! Be still my heart! And, small intestines.
