There were some good storms out your way yesterday too. Good see the cloud tops from here.

Season opener, I always try to attend the home opener. The first 2 are away which sucks.

I love looking back at old threads. We had some good ones in WNY last year at end of January. That one week was just epic. https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/51987-upstateeastern-new-york/

Really hoping I can get summer to last well into Sep to keep my pool open. Got 2 more pool parties lined up. Also throwing a Bills opener party. Getting the new fence installed next weekend.

Real early thoughts would be about the same as last year. 5-10% above normal snowfall with colder temps then last year. KBUF checked out, but ROC/Cuse did not. I'm pretty such the tug and southern tier of WNY had 5-10% above snowfall averages as well. It's such a high level of variance with LES events. Solar Min/Neutral-Weak Enso so looks good at this time. If you get a colder then average winter, the majority if not all the time you will get above average snowfall. With 2 huge moisture sources, its virtually a lock to get more snow when you get more cold.

So happy they are bringing it back. It made no sense at all as lake effect is so localized. LES Warnings are iconic to the great lakes. Winter storm warnings are used across all of the US.

My buddy does fences and said the Wood and Vinyl are both good up to 90 MPH. We live in a neighborhood, everyone has been suggesting me to get vinyl. Can't make up my mind as I like the look of wood more.

Anyone have any advice in regards to fence options. Got quoted for Pine at $6600, vinyl at $7900, Cherry at $8200. I'm heavily leaning towards vinyl as their is virtually no maintenance. Does anyone have any recommendations? The wood you have to stain every 2 years which cost $100-200 in materials and quite a bit of time and a wood fence last half as long as a vinyl does.

Well snow only occurs late Nov (Rare) into December. In that timeframe there are 4-5 games in which 2-3 are at home. Those games happen in a 3 hour window on Sunday afternoon. To get everything to line up perfectly is really rare. If the stadium moves downtown we will likely see that decrease substantially. It will be extremely rare as the stadium right now is in a good location for several lake effect events per year.

Waterspout season! Bills are going to be good this year too, I need a lake effect snow home game.

I got some crazy video watching those storms move in last night.

As storms moved over lake erie earlier today.

Missed my chance for waterspout. Can't wait to get the drone out for some chasing.

How do you guys all enjoy cold so much? It's August. Let me enjoy my 3 months of summer in peace please.

Greenland and Alaska experiencing very warm weather while we get chilly

https://eos.org/articles/greenland-ice-sheet-beats-all-time-1-day-melt-record The Greenland ice sheet broke records on 1 August 2019 by losing more water volume in 1 day than on than any other day since records began in 1950, shedding 12.5 billion tons of water into the sea.

Sad times we live in. Greenland just recorded its highest temp ever recorded on the glacier. Europe just experienced all time record breaking heat all across that continent with many areas breaking all time record highs. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/07/31/greenland-ice-sheet-is-throes-one-its-greatest-melting-events-ever-recorded/?noredirect=on

Time to catch up on some of my netflix shows.

We have a routine of going in the pool every day after work floating around with our dog who loves to swim. I'll pass on the cold weather for awhile. I do love football season though. Will be going up to the Adirondacks for my buddys bachelor party in late September which should have some good color.

I'll be wearing my shorts, t shirt and tank top for the next 3-4 months. Big lots has their halloween stuff up already.

I was at a grad party in franklinville and got hit pretty bad by those storms.

@DeltaT13 You'll have to let me know this fall when to go waterspout chasing. I want to use my drone to get some aerial video of them.

I'm not sure about that. That funneling aids in producing very high wind events, huge LES snowstorms, big rainfall events with Lake effect rain in the fall, and although rare tornadoes do occur. EF2 hit 1/2 mile from me last year. In relation to other areas in the country I do agree. We don't have to worry about earthquakes, hurricanes, and the majority of the time tornados. Flooding is also pretty rare around here.
