Most Snow in America: Syracuse New York

     So yesterday my good friend mpdsnowman posts that Syracuse is leading the nation in snowfall as of that day on Snowboarding Forum.  Now I am not going to lie, I did not know that, although I feel like I should, but that's what friends are for right? I did know that we are definitely getting record snowfall here in New York, but had no clue I was going to be so shocked when I saw the list of top ten.  So here is the list:


  1. Syracuse, NY
  2. Rochester, NY
  3. St. Paul, MN
  4. Minneapolis, MN
  5. Spokane, WA
  6. Buffalo, NY
  7. Anchorage, AK
  8. Salt Lake City, UT
  9. South Bend, IN
  10. Akron, OH
     The original article can be found at Golden Snow Globe here.

     And in due East Coast/ West Coast rivalry I must point out that the Rockies are not on the chart.  Well all I can say is that I guess I'm lucky I live in the East at the moment.  I will be going to shred some of this pow this weekend and will report on it.

Drift Session: Evo IX Inside View

  
     Here is the second video from the same sesh that I posted earlier.  Same car, cam and driver.

Drift Session: Evo IX

     I was sitting in my room watching snowboard vids (shocking) when I get the call at 11:30pm.  "Dude, look outside...we're going drifting, I'm cleaning the car now."

     So here is a little footy I shot of my homie Matt taking first drifts of the season in a certain part of town.  Car is a Mitsubishi Evo IX tuned by E-Spec Tuning and the camera is my trusty cell a Motorola Defy.
     He pulls a nice close pass at :44 and a sweet huge donut at around 1:07.  It felt great to get the first snow around here!!!

     To see more footage and shots of Matt and the car Check him out on his Facebook Page.  Next post will be a vid shot from the inside of the car.



First Pass
  
    
    
Here is another quick vid from outside the car.  Love the angle on this shot!!
