COMMENTARY
12/22/2013 1:35PM - There were a few great endings to the week! First of all, the featured matchup between Worcester and Syracuse came down to the last day. Worcester managed to hold onto a 14-point lead despite Syracuse's 0.63" rainfall on Saturday...winning by a little more than a point. Pittsburgh came back on the last day, earning their first win by defeating Trenton and in doing so, handed Trenton their first loss of the season. Another first-time winner was Binghamton who came back against Pittsfield... recording 0.50" of rain on Day 7. And finally, saving the best for last, Buffalo had one of the most impressive comebacks in league history to date vs. Islip. Down 25.3 points with 2 days remaining, it seemed like it was hopeless for Buffalo. But rainfall on the last 2 days, including a daily record rainfall of 1.12" set on the last day, helped Buffalo pull off a stunning victory over Islip. The final score was Buffalo 68.4, Islip 57.3 - Buffalo pulling away in dramatic fashion! The game was also the highest combined score between two teams so far (125.7).
The Standings page is being worked on and will hopefully be up and updated in the next few days.
NOTE: After Week 3, only 3 undefeated cities are left standing - Worcester, LaGuardia, and Providence
12/18/2013 8:00PM - Tabulated the data from the last two days and in addition to the snowfall from yesterday, I saw that we had some cold temperatures in the north country of New England: -20 in Montpelier and -16 in Caribou. Talk about bone-chilling cold! Potentially some more wintry weather for Northern New England this weekend but areas south will be dealing with a substantial warmup and soaking rainfall, eroding the snowpack along with it. A shame for those who want a white Christmas. Still plenty of winter to go though!
12/16/2013 8:05PM - After the weekend snowstorm, Week 3 begins with another round of snow associated with an Alberta clipper system that is expected to bring wintry white for Pennsylvania, strengthening over New England where some parts there could receive up to 6-10 inches. A moderate warm-up trend starts after Wednesday. Then toward the weekend, we will watch a disturbance tap moisture from the Gulf that will head north toward the Northeast, with rain and snow impacts along with it. Should be another interesting week in store!
