Can the Canadians please be right for once? Please?

The Para GFS looks beautiful for the Syracuse region and north and east.

Nope. Complete garbage. In fact, it gives you and me a present on Saturday:

Those are some great points, guys. Personally, I have been struggling a bit with working in a career that I love or whether to start looking for something that isn't so stressful but pays much better. My wife and I do not have a goal to gain wealth, as that is not a priority of ours. We have challenged ourselves to live within our means while trying to make sure we can financially support organizations and future generations. She's amazing at it. I am a bit more prone to wanting some 'play money". The wife grew up in poverty though, so she has a deeper understanding of being careful with money. Sorry if that's a bit too deep...just wanted to share a less common perspective.

Oh, it was a perfect response. It's pretty clear snow hates me...but I won't give up. I am like the boyfriend that can't take a hint ..

Thanks for those kind words. We started saving immediately and started solid retirement funds. We have no debt whatsoever. If we can get a house with straight cash and not be in debt to banks or companies, the better. Truly blessed. @Geez150 thanks for sharing your journey and the hard work you did!

Bahaha... If you all want to go in together and buy me a house in Worth/N. Redfield...so you can get your snowjo back...

It will happen. I will be in PA for ONE night.... Saturday night.... Lol

LOL!!!!

Bahaha!!! How about....We ALL go in on it together??? It can be our own little Upstate NY compound. We can each sit in our own rooms in the house and talk about how much more snow we have outside our window than somebody on the other side!

Yeah. Central New York taxes are crazy. They're even higher in Oswego County than in the Syracuse area!! (BUT, homes are more affordable in Oswego county)...and of course, MORE SNOW! lol

Oh, yes. I have looked in Phoenix too I love the area off Pendergast Rd. and up towards Hinmansville.

Yeah..it's tricky. We have a beautiful apartment here that we really like. It's a little bit higher in price, but we are blessed to have good neighbors and the location is great. The taxes here are just ridiculous...it would be 500 to 800 a month just in taxes...add several hundred for utilities...and then extras/maintenance...etc...apartment was a good choice for the time being. We're just a bit bummed because we moved in on March 1st last year and then Covid hit...so we haven't had many opportunities to share our place with family and friends.

Nice! I've even been CASUALLY browsing around the Pulaski to Parish area. Oh, and I see what you did there...slipping in a "snowpack" pic.

Exactly! I just wrote a response to Buffalowx above. I've been patiently waiting on something to open up that's less expensive and more rural in southern Oswego County (Granby area/nicer parts of Fulton//Hannibal).

The wife and I have gone back and forth on that one. With the high property taxes in New York...especially around CNY, it comes out to about the same. So, we will be patient and wait another year or two. We'd rather save up the money and make a larger down payment than have a large mortgage with interest, plus taxes, plus utilities, etc...

Whoa...I know houses here in the Baldwinsville area/Suburbs of Syracuse are pretty ridiculous too. You have to be willing to go above asking price to compete with anybody. Hence, my wife and I shall be in an apartment another year...

Sounds legit. I thought it might be because of the Williamsville School District, massive amounts of lake effect snow, and being a suburb of New York City.

Wow. What's drawing people in? I don't imagine much new business, especially after this year.

Holy Moley...280 K on that house?!?! Wow, I can't imagine what the more modern homes (outside) are priced at!

Avoided this subforum and all weather models as if they were Covid for....20 HOURS! I was determined to not let the ups and downs of weather affect my day. Doesn't look like much difference since yesterday? Riding the line.

A Low over Rehobeth and it's STILL rain the whole way to Canada?!?! Lol...any other winter (at least until last winter) I would say it's on drugs..... BUT I could see this happening this winter.

You know how I joked the other day that maybe the models were underdoing the dusting and that maybe I'd get a half inch? Well.....SUCCESS! 1/2 inch of snowfall this evening! Score! lol

We've actually had veeeery light graupel and snow showers here the past two days. Several days last week too.
