Yes you are right on that one but that was in the mountains of WV the last week in October. This is the second week in September right at sea level.

Lake effect really is the most fascinating type of weather IMO. It’s so mesoscale and so localized it’s so cool to see how conditions can vary so much over such a short distance. Where else in the country could you have 7 feet of snow and 10 miles away green grass literally. Just so cool and definitely getting pumped that we’re moving towards that season.

Fascinating. How common is it to have tropical remnants cause a massive snowstorm? Even if it’s that far north.

Yes give me 1 good early season event in Nov/early Dec then let it warm up for a month or so mid Dec to mid Jan then let winter set in for real mid Jan to end of March and then it can warm up. Nothing better then the winters where it just seems like we can’t even make it above freezing for 2-3 months with frequent clippers dropping a few inches of snow at a time building the base up nice and thick with no thaws at all. It seems those are becoming far less common these days than even 10-15 years ago. It could be selective memory but I feel like when I was growing up in the 2000s we had frequent long periods of pretty sustained cold and snow which just hasn’t seemed to appear since 13-14 winter. Would love a good old fashioned winter this year of temps 2 degrees below average and snowfall at like 125-150% of normal with minimum thaws. Would really be awesome to have after the last several years, though last winter wasn’t horrible as it had numerous good lake effect events but lacked sustained cold and had frequent pack destroying thaws between events.

Thanks man really appreciate it.

Bring me a winter full of clippers with frequent 3-6” snows and plenty of lake effect snow that oscillates with each passing shortwave that moves through. Absolute best pattern there is.

I was on the southwest to Denver flight at 6am lol!

I’m flying out at 6am so I’m in the same boat. Interesting to see if my flight is delayed or not. As of now just some scattered showers and no T-Storms.

Yes good job Tug! Totally get the anxiety in it but think you did the right thing. Hopefully you get a big one this winter (and not while your out of town) haha!

Extreme wind warning just issued for the western side/suburbs of New Orleans.

Last half hour radar loop and this thing has just about completely stalled out.

New update is 150mph 935mb…

There’s no way this things a cat 1 anymore we just need Recon to get in there and confirm this. Probably somewhere in the 95 to 105 cat 2 range right now but looks to be ramping up pretty quickly. We will likely have a major on our hands by tonight.

06z NAM is WAY weaker. Like 30 mb weaker but also way further west. Looks like it scrapes E. LI headed right for the CT/RI border. All with a grain of salt being the 84hr NAM.

Should verify if their rain measuring methods are similar to their snow measuring methods. Might even be on the low side haha!

BuffaloWeather we need to buy a whole fleet of drones and line them up between Toledo and Cleveland come mid to late November when a SW wind is present

This weeks weather is gross. Can’t even swim as I’m going to have to spend hours cleaning the pool after yesterday’s storms knocked literally thousands of leaves into it. Only good thing about this weather is tracking some big thunderstorms but as we saw last night that was a bust. We shall see how today goes.

Sounds about right. I picked up 1.34” in about 50 min here.

That’s the direction we always get our tornadoes from in WNY. The one in Hamburg/OP a few years ago, and the Cheektowaga tornado in summer of 2006 I believe it was.

Neighbor had tree completely uprooted and fell directly onto their brand new Audi Q8. Branches down everywhere. What a storm.

90 here with a DP of 74 making it feel like 100F! Only noon too so maybe we can see it climb another 2-3 degrees?

Idk man, seems a little NUTS. N = Nobody U = Understands T= The hell your S= Saying.

Let me in your league again. I came in second that year with you and took home like $200-$300 if I remember correctly. We’re you the winner that season or no? I feel like you were.

Yes I’m the same way I love Wegmans as well but since moving to Derby the closest Wegmans is about 20 or so minutes away. Tops is only 5 minutes away and they literally just got done completely renovating the entire store a month or two ago and it’s WAY nicer than it used to be. I always seem to get great deals at tops when they have a great sale on items or way overpay for something if it’s not on sale. I still run there for stuff in a pinch or I’ll still look through the old school paper circular ad that comes every week and see if they have any great sales on something and then I’ll go there specifically for those things. All these things stated we do 90 percent of our shopping at Walmart lol.

I agree 100 percent. The only thing I see is for the people who can not get vaccinated such as my kids who are all under the age of 2. Those from ages 2-12 should wear masks and social distance as well as unvaccinated people but for all of us who got the shot and are proven to be 95%+ effective against the delta variant, what the hell would we start wearing masks for again unless a person chooses to do so for their own reasons?
