1. Chris,
   Nice work. But you would improve usefulness by including more maps. Also you must stop using the generic photos on every page. A ‘contact us’ wouldn’t hurt but the list at the bottom of the page helps. I’ll tell you, I know it’s a lot of work but the ability to uncheck some criteria like weather in a table showing your data points, and the ability to re-rank is fantastic. Can’t think of a site offhand that does that. Good luck.

2. Research is important work, and providing fake information harms progress. Providing “Friday Night Science” as fact through a semi-permanent fixture on the internet makes for a more confused population.
   I would love to see your sources on the list, as they match no official data… and your images are not anywhere in NY.
   #4 to #10 are all the immediate Syracuse metro area… and only one is a city… Syracuse. One of the locations is not even a municipality. It is an unincorporated area and postal name. Fairmount is a portion of the Town of Camillus, a town not in your list. Kind of like you don’t have Buffalo in the list, but include the nearby Town of Clarence. I do agree that Oswego should be listed separately, but it is also part of the Syracuse MSA, so is not in my list below.
   There is a reason most official lists only include the main municipality in a metro area… so it is not full of one specific area. Someone living in Cicero or DeWitt will tell someone not from the area that they live in Syracuse.
   Your images are not from the image attribution lists you have linked.
   #10 is not Syracuse, it is South Lyon, MI https://goo.gl/maps/DEhiYaLVFZs . However Syracuse does have a unique traffic light, as seen at this link: https://goo.gl/maps/nwV1JdYmJu42
   #9 is a mall in Gilbert, AZ https://goo.gl/maps/MTWq64pWfNs
   #8 is Westfield, NJ https://goo.gl/maps/4i4dkTZe3932
   #7 is Yountville, CA https://goo.gl/maps/JfjJmZhkqbp (Intersection was recently rebuilt, but Hurley’s Restaurant is visible in both)
   #6 is Wilmore, KY https://goo.gl/maps/R1367EHrN4Q2
   #5 is Snow Hill, MD https://goo.gl/maps/cABg2SEw4ux
   #4 is Smithsburg, MD… and I don’t think Lisa on flickr would want to be known as Paul, like you have listed.
   #3 is Hemet, CA (palm trees in NY would be nice though) https://goo.gl/maps/PBYea6B3AdG2
   #2 is Elkhart, IN https://goo.gl/maps/Kyqe1ZXC1oC2
   #1 is Decatur, TX https://goo.gl/maps/Ss9926fgeCM2
   Let’s use the metropolitan statistical areas (12 of them) in NY, and the official averages.
   Syracuse (663K pop.): 123.8″
   Watertown (116K pop): 112.1″
   Rochester (1.1M pop.): 99.5″
   Buffalo (1.1M pop.): 94.7″
   Utica (299K pop.): 88.3″
   Binghamton (252K pop.): 83.4″
   Glens Falls (129K pop.): 68.0″
   Ithaca (102K pop.): 64.4″
   Elmira (89K pop.): 37.9″
   Albany (871K pop.): 59.1″
   Kingston/Poughkeepsie (182K pop.): 32.8″
   New York City (13M pop.): 25.1″
   Want the actual snowiest areas? Look at the sparsely populated Tug Hill area (between Syracuse and Watertown) with over 200 inches on average, with a record of 466 inches (almost 39 feet) in the 1976-77 snow season… or the community of Old Forge with an average of 177.3″. Oswego is 137″ on average, so would beat Syracuse too, but is not it’s own metro area.
   Your site could be a great resource, if data was not thrown together randomly as opinion, with no sources, incorrect data, and wrong imagery.
