Check out that cutoff between Cortland and BGM/ITH/ELM.... geesh.
Hopefully the cold can hold in at all layers here and the Low stays far enough south.
Thanks for posting. I've looked at that before and have highly doubted the South Redfield totals. It definitely wasn't that much that winter. There was not one substantial lake effect event that winter for the Southern Tug. I think maybe like 2 6 to 10 inch events. (Check lake effect page..lol) There were also many thaws that winter, so a solid snowpack was hard to come by. I remember several times seeing the ground and flooded yards throughout that winter up there.
The northern Plains would do you well. That's like their kind of climate...can be a bit arid though.
I could do without Spring. For me it's:
November through April - 20s and snow
May through August - mid 60s to mid 70s with blue skies with puffy cumulus clouds, low humidity, gentle breeze and crisp nights in the 40s/50 degrees
September and October - gloriously sunny days with NO WIND and highs in the 50s with lows in the 30s.
The UP of MIchigan would do me well. lol
Yep. 4 winters of well-below normal snowfall (my first winter was on the Tug during one of their worst snowfall winters), 2 consecutive summers with record breaking heat, and record warm falls have made me pretty hissy pissy in terms of Syracuse weather. It's been a bad stretch for a cold/snow lover.
Yeah, that drive from Aroostook down to Bangor for what I imagine would be all the "bigger city" commodities seemed like a looooooong one. I loved Fort Kent and Houlton though.
The secondary barely looks to form, which is why precip. is being cut off from the east as well. Looks like my call of 3 to 6 inches from Sunday with all the reasons I thought might happen will come to fruition.
Thanks for sharing. The final trigger for her was when we driving down a road for an hour and not one single car went past, other than a lumber truck that ZOOMED past us at what seemed like 100 mph. lol
New Nam run looks like garbage. lol... Way north, and cut precipitation. The models are all over the place. The other 0Z runs aren't looking as juiced either.
My wife and I went up there years ago for a job interview I had. I absolutely loved it up there! It was February and the lakes were frozen over. I had never experienced frozen lakes being transformed into public roads. The food was fantastic and the people were so genuine and friendly. I was excitedly talking about it in the car and then all of a sudden my wife started sobbing. It was too remote for her. My dream of being a northern Mainer was dashed. But, wow, God's country is right. The Great Outdoors!
Much of our pack survived many a thaw this month...until the two days of 60 earlier this week. Still have some in areas, especially shaded hillsides that face north.
Funny, as the forecast amounts on models go up, the NWS offices reduce the amounts. They seem pretty set on the mix getting farther north. They must be seeing something, or just know how often it happens.
