Good Bye Winter Hello Springter and Where is Done Day Already
Well spring is here but spring is definitely not in the air. Just a bunch of that white fluffy stuff that we call white gold in the winter months. In the spring I think most of us call it the white #%&% that just won't go away. All I can say is sooner or later it has to stop.

Our fun snow contest was mentioned across America on the America in The Morning radio show and the Jim Bohannon show both hosted by Jimbo. As hesitant as I am to post the clip for the fact that I am a sissy man when it comes to speaking I will. Keep in mind this was on a few hours sleep along with fighting bronchitis. As always I do try to give credit to Stephen butttt :( You can listen to the clip here which will open up whatever program you have on your comp that plays audio. A big thanks to Jim and Tom for the chance to make the normal fool of myself on over 500 radio stations across the country ;)

I like Jeff Kramer's idea to celebrate Done Day. Jeff who writes for the Syracuse Post Standard idea is to celebrate the first day that it reaches 65 degrees in CNY. Of course this is something that all of the Golden Snowball cities could celebrate. Ummm, scratch that! Albany really can't because isn't it something like 65 degrees most of the winter there?
Anyways check out Jeff Kramer's article on Done Day at http://www.syracuse.com/kramer/index.ssf/2011/03/happy_spring_get_ready_to_cele.html
According to Stephens stats it looks like Binghamton has moved up to it's 7th snowiest season on record with this last snowfall.
1. 1993-1994 (131.3)
2. 1995-1996 (131.2)
3. 1992-1993 (122.7)
4. 1955-1956 (122.6)
5. 2002-2003 (117.6)
6. 1977-1978 (115.3)
7. 2010-2011 (114.4 so far)
8. 1969-1970 (114.0)
9. 1970-1971 (108.6)
10. 1957-1958 (108.3)
Buffalo broke a date record yesterday with 6.8 inches beating the old record of 3.8 back in 1974 and Rochester beat theirs with 6.3 beating the old snow record of 5.6 which went way back to 1965.
Have a Super Day All!!!

Great job Pat! I guess you'll just have to do a live interview sometime, like you did with The Weather Channel some odd years ago, for me to get any credit out there! Heh.
Which is fine, by the way. The way my forecasts have gone this season, I'm not sure I deserve any credit!
Lol to your forecasts Stephen )p You do deserve credit which is why I mention your name everytime :)
I always mention that you're a grad from State with your degree and about the forecasts plus the cool stats you come up with. If CNN ever calls I already have it planned to mention you so you can get on their show where you have 30 seconds to sell yourself for a job in mapping :)))
yeah, great job Patrick!
that was cool,really
really cool!
Haha, actually, I recently got a job in mapping right now, in East Syracuse off of Bridge Street. So it is a step in the right direction for sure. Since I just started not too long ago, I'm not really looking into going elsewhere right now. But I'll probably look around to see what options there are elsewhere. I'm happy where I am right now, but it would be silly of me to not check for other possibilities.
Thanks though! :)
Not just snowiest in a long time out here in WNY, but coldest too. That's probably the most aggravating aspect. Lately the highs are several degrees below the average lows for this time of year.
