While watching my Yankees win their 27th title last night and the 7th under the Steinbrenner regime I began to wonder…is there a connection between Yankee titles and Rochester snow? The answer is of course not but hey let’s look at the numbers just for fun! If you want a snowy Winter, you should be happy the Yanks won last night. Below are the years the yankees won the series and amount of snow for us the following winter.

1977: 160.9″
1978: 138.5″
1996: 104.7″
1998: 111.6″
1999: 110.7″
2000: 58.1″
2009: ???

Average snowfall after Yankee title: 114.1″
