Syrmax

Giid chance to burn up the last of my fireplace wood this weekend. Snow showers here the past few hours.

It's not good.

Pretty much agree with all of this. We also seem to have a couple of curiosities repeating: 1) early snows in November causing us to go from final lawn mowing / leaf raking to serious snow blowing in about a week's time and, 2) the XMas holidays warmup again, from mid December thru first week of January. I give this past winter a B grade. I had average snowfall IMBY (135.5") and w/in a few inches of last year's total. Can't complain about that. The downside was frequent cutters which slammed snowpack repeatedly. We had a few arctic outbreaks and it all started pre-Thanksgiving yet again and lasted thru most of March. That said, I usually give our Spring weather a D for the reasons Buffalo Bumble stated. 70s and sun forecasted for tomorrow though. So we are slowly ramping up. Here's to a hot & dry Global Warming summer! (Yes, I have a pool in one of the cloudiest areas of the US).

Its 50 degrees. Tornado Watch? C'mon.

I thought about that. I didn't snowblow the last one. But...I need to run my snowblower dry for the end of season. So rather than just idle it next weekend, figured I'd put it to some use before I drive it back to the shed. And they havent plowed our road. Think of the children!!

Totaled up 5.5". I'm going to snowblow it. Just cuz its April 1st. ...

Pretty ggid snow falling here last couple hours. Road is covered. We are over an inch on the grass, maybe pushing 2". Will be a nice April fools joke when people wake up in the a.m.

About 3, maybe 4" here. We may eke out 6". Not a total bust but projections from a day ago were predictably over baked. 3-6" call by Teske looking pretty good for SYR area, other than the hills south. Pretty windy.

Still rain here. Yawn. Take 'em down...

Still RN- downtown SYR. I think most ppl around here are going to be wondering WTF with that WSW by the time this is done.

Light RN downtown SYR. More like a heavy drizzle. Going out with a whimper in the lowlands? #sad

Gon a take a bit of a hail mary to get KROC seriously I to this. I'm thinking 3-5" for KSYR.

Some decent cellular snow bands rolling thru north of Syracuse. Not quite an inch so far. Padding stats tonight.

I'd agree on the B- grade for winter around Syracuse. I'm at about normal snowfall levels and temps weren't exactly mild...although the frequent cutters were unfortunate. I was going to go C+ but the early start with a 16" dump a week before Thanksgiving, with record cold to follow, bumps it up a touch. Two themes with some recent repeatability...1) early start with big Novembers (2 of past 3 winters IIRC) and, 2) mid Dec to early Jan lull. The timing of the lull seems to be happening with some frequency over the past several years. Probably coincidence but the holidays are a crappy time for winter to go on hiatus.

is this progged to stay north of us tonight or move around?

Gotta say, snowing about as hard as i've seen it all season. Easily 1"/hr maybe more right now. We'll see how long this lasts.

I came out at 12.8:1 but that seems low. Eyeballing CoCoRaHS reports...Wolfie posted a screenshot of both counties here earlier...most seemed to be 15-20:1.

picking up here also. If only we could make the sun go down faster today.

The band SE of L.O. sort of over me but #weaksauce. Noone's missing anything.

Just flurries here now as this thing slips south. I'm a bit surprised at only 5" total here, was thinking we'd have closer to 7 or 8" since it started snowing around 1 a.m. but whatevs.

Working from home today. Just took my official numbers at 9am, we were up to 4.75" w/ 0.37 LE... ratio is only 12.8:1 which I would have thought would be a bit higher. Snowing mod to heavy here in the past hr or two. In fact, we picked up another 1/4" while I was melting snow and emailing ppl, so I'm at 5" storm total at 0915.

Nothing here. Probably snowing a mile or two to the north. We'll see what happens.

I need about 5 -7 more miles south for this band. Clear overhead but I can see the edge if the clouds to the north over Phoenix.

These bands usually hang up north longer than modeled. Something LEK used to harp on. I think due to lower frictional resistance across the long Axis of the lake causing convergence from each side of the band flowing into it and helping maintain a more W-E orientation and stable. Which may be why KFZY wind is WSW. It'll take another push to get it to keep moving south. Matt and Wolfie enjoy!

KBGM is unusually well coordinated (with KBUF) with similar idea. I think due to uncertainty of band placement and residence time, along with extended duration they just covered all bases. We'll see if KBGM reigns it in with afternoon package.
