How does a low follow this track? Just doesn't seem realistic based on past experience.

Yeah but we can look up and see the eye as it passes over us!

Anyone care to share some Bills game advice for tomorrow? This will be my first in person game in many years, and my 2 daughters 11 and 13 are coming for their first game. I think we will be dressed warm enough. We are staying downtown next to Canalside. I'm thinking of leaving the hotel at 1800, which should have us pulling in to Orchard Park by 6:30. I am going to come in on Big Tree Road from the west. We are entering the stadium through Gate 1. Are there good places to park coming in from that direction or should I just stick with the Bills stadium lots? I was thinking Lot 1. We don't mind a few minutes extra walking. Is my timing right or should we be arriving in OP earlier? Any and all suggestions appreciated.

I’m north of you in that same snow hole. When I first saw it 3 days ago I had no concerns, and figured it would probably shift east within a run or two. Now I’m concerned. The persistence is really remarkable, run after run.

Just where we want it 3 days out. I think your area, from Syracuse east to 81 and down to BGM is the jackpot. I may have a dry slot issue here in Otsego but not the snow hole currently depicted.

New England constantly refers to a benchmark track being optimal for them. The benchmark for my part of central NY is right up the Jersey coast and over LawnGuyland. Almost exactly what’s being modeled now for this storm. We take!

Your Utica track is our Lawn Guyland track!

Thanks Steve really appreciate that info. I'm thinking the frozen Falls and a stop at the aquarium up there would be a nice Sunday. I love the Science Museum too but the kids are getting too teenaged for it to be cool!

Just south of Boonville in Alder Creek (southern Tug Hill plateau). http://www.breiax-countryski.org Amazing place. Abundant snowfall, no user fee, well maintained trails. Sort of a mystery how it's funded. There are several areas to it. We ski the Egypt Road trails the most.

Had a great ski at Breia today. Fresh powder on a firm base. It was -9F when I started out and warmed up to 0F when I left around 1:00. I think this is my latest ever for first XC ski day of the winter.

Thanks I’ll check those areas out.

Buffalo area crew any intel you can share on the snowpack situation around Chestnut Ridge park? We are coming out for a long weekend sports doubleheader. Bills Saturday night and Sabres Monday afternoon. I was thinking of taking the kids sledding and/or XC skiing there on Sunday. Is there any snow? Any other suggestions for a family with 3 young teen daughters appreciated. We are already planning skating and curling Sunday morning at Canalside.

This, and the offensive line has improved their play. Perhaps out of sheer embarrassment by their performance in the middle of the season.

That's great, Otsego County losing to Huntsville Alabama in the Golden Snowball contest in January.

Also this winter's mid term grade point average.

Great first post to start the New Year and break us out of our funk. Happy New Year to all.

They’ve got the magnet switched on!

Jamestown is the storm magnet

We must be about the same age. I can never let my buddy the Giants fan forget about the Miracle at the Meadowlands. I just have to say "Pisarcik hands off to Csonka" and it gets ugly! https://imasportsphile.com/nfl-1978-special-miracle-at-the-meadowlands-giants-qb-pisarcik-fumbles-on-last-play-of-game/

This is usually what it takes to shake the pattern up and get us some snow. It's painful but it pays off in the end. These weak sheared out systems and frontal passages we are having now just won't do it.

Welcome back. We haven't always agreed about things but I enjoy this forum because people are respectful and remain good natured even in disagreement.

Verification: Christmas Day Rain, mainly before 5pm. High near 41. South wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. (OK I busted a few degrees high on temps).

And they're out: https://buffalonews.com/sports/hockey/ap-source-nhl-to-withdraw-from-olympics-after-covid-surge/article_ef063d20-b53a-5458-9ba8-40d2c88a53f3.html#tracking-source=home-just-in

I can’t see the NHL players wanting to go to China. Hopefully this new wave quiets down a little here and they can use that time to catch up on games.

Yeah we got buried here by a dusting overnight.....which exceeds our snow total from yesterday.
