Even our snow goes wide right To date, the Superbowl and Lord Stanley’s cup have found a way to melt through our fingers. As loyal Buffalo fans we know this is soon to change. The sad fact is, we haven’t even been able to win a trophy for the one thing for which we seem to be most famous–our snow. The Golden Snowball Award is presented to the upstate New York city that receives the most snowfall in a season. Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse compete for the annual award. The award was the result of a friendly competition initiated by the National Weather Service offices in upstate New York. After the Rochester and Syracuse offices closed in the mid-1990s, the competition died out. The award was revived during the 2002-2003 snowfall season, when Syracuse won. It has swept the trophy every year since. This highly cherished prize is accompanied by a ceremonial $100 check to benefit the winning city's school hat and mitten drive. page 12 Right: Coca-Cola Field. Opening Day is never far away
