The website focuses on snowfall statistics received by five cities in New York, witnessing increased popularity correlating to snowfall amounts. Visitors predominantly frequent the platform between late October and April due to the seasonal nature of the content; however, interest declines in the summer. Despite this, there is a suggestion to introduce a rain contest to attract summer traffic. The primary revenue streams for the site are Google Adsense and donations, which annually range between $200 to $500. Traffic data provided to prospective buyers on a marketplace platform reflects monthly averages, though actual site visits peak in winter.
The site's maintenance includes daily updates on snowfall statistics sourced from the National Weather Service, potentially requiring two updates per day. Blog posts are occasionally added if notable events occur. To optimize revenue, the operator has experimented with AdSense placements and recently updated the site's theme for improved mobile compatibility.
The platform has gained notable media attention, with mentions in multiple high-profile media outlets and appearances on national television programs. These have fostered opportunities for interviews and connections to journalists, enhancing its public profile.
Despite its success, one section of the site included a licensed app unrelated to snow statistics or site traffic, which will not be transferred with the site due to licensing restrictions. Overall, the project requires minimal maintenance yet benefits from significant seasonal traffic and media exposure.
