  1. That’s a big shift from the CPC 8-14 day temperature outlook BW posted above.
  2. Where else have you lived? We need to do a statistical analysis to see if their snowfall was below normal while you lived there.
  3. I believe in 1949 the official reporting station was moved from downtown to the Syracuse airport. The airport is about 6 or 7 miles north of the city closer to the traditional snow belt area.
  4. As I was snowblowing yesterday I was thinking how I would grade this winter. I came to the conclusion that this has pretty much been an average winter. I might end up below average for snowfall but I’m at 70 inches right now. I’ve had 7 straight weeks of snow cover. February has averaged below normal in temperatures and there hasn’t been a torch in a couple of months. I think we tend to grade based on expectations and we have had a few letdowns this winter. But overall I would grade this winter C+/B-
  5. OT - Today is the day the Perseverance rover lands on Mars. Landing is scheduled for 3:55 PM. The time from entry into the Martian atmosphere to touchdown is called 7 minutes of terror. Many scientists and engineers have devoted their whole careers to this mission. For more information go to space.com.
  6. It looks like western NY has snow moving in from the southwest.
  7. Lake band trying to refire. It probably won’t have much success. I might get a few flakes out of this.
  8. I’m a couple tenths of an inch short of 70 inches of snow for the season. Without a big storm (more than a foot) I don’t think I can make 100.
  9. He should start a thread “Hottest Summer in a Generation “ so I can enjoy this summer and not spend a fortune on air conditioning.
  10. It’s a beautiful morning. I ended up with 5.1 inches of lake effect fluff on 0.14 inch of liquid. Skies cleared after the lake effect moved out and temperatures plummeted. It was -1 at 8 this morning. That’s over 8 inches of snow over the last 2 days. Once again the lake bailed me out after getting let down by the synoptic system.
  11. As soon as I made that last post the snow picked up in intensity again. It doesn’t look pretty on radar but it’s producing.
  12. As soon as it moved south and came off the lake it lost all intensity.
  13. The band is definitely coming back south over Wayne and Cayuga counties. I am actually outside the southern edge of the band right now.
  14. I got 13.2 inches from that. I went to bed around midnight with a couple of inches down. My wife took our dog out about 7 AM and came back and told me there was a foot. She can exaggerate so I didn’t believe it until I got up to see it with my own eyes. What I’m getting at is there must have been some insane rates during the night. Maybe we can pull it off again.
  15. The forecast for this lake effect event was for 3-6 inches. I’m at the lower end of that already with at least a,couple more inches to go. So it might not be an overachiever but the forecast will solidly verify here.
  16. If I had a better knee it would be a perfect night for a Jebwalk.
  17. LEK can correct me but as the band organizes it “tightens” up. Also as the circulation in the band strengthens there is subsidence on the edges which squashes precipitation.
  18. It looks to me like the southern band is becoming dominant. That’s the one giving Revracer his snow.
