LOL...love it!

What are you talking about? He may not have moved back to Jersey, but Wolfie's always on the move. lol Altmar in the Warm seasons, Copenhagen during the Fall...Pulaski...come on up!

Slushy dusting on cold surfaces here.

Looking at the webcam, it looks like it's snowing pretty good there with the cars starting to get covered.

Snow has arrived here. It was about a 20 minute mix of rain, graupel, and snow...now it's large, wet snowflakes.

Congrats down there, guys! Looks like many of you got your first inch of snow for the season before I did up here in Upstate New York! haha

It's ridiculous here. I'm telling you...it's the hills DIRECTLY south of the city...combine downsloping with the maritime lake plain...and temperatures SUCK here much of the time if you're a cold lover. Usually not the warmest place, but often in the top 5 to 10 warmest cities every day. Rome and down into SE NY is in the 50s and even 60s right now, so we're in the middle today. My sis in law in Tennessee sent me a picture of the snow...it was dusting a bush. lol

Another bloody rainstorm this weekend!?! Sooo tired of dreary rain....ugh. @wolfie09...so jealous. You're at like 100 times more snowfall than me this season.

He left this in the comments section of his post: MJVentrice @MJVentrice Replying to @MJVentrice What does this mean for weather around Christmas time? If the shift happens, we'll probably see more of a winter pattern for Canada and the western two thirds of the U.S. with anomalous warmth building across the South-Southeast and east coast.

It's tough to trust that a negative NAO would have any staying power, considering how lacking it has been, especially during the cold seasons.

Hey, at least your dusting will be deeper than my dusting.

There is a ridge that runs between Amboy/Williamstown area over to Florence in N. Oneida county. I think it is a hidden snow secret. The winter I lived up there, any time I would go to Camden, that ridge almost always had more snow than S. Redfield where I was at. It would cash in on NW winds, was far enough North to get snow from the West wind bands (what little we had), and often would get some upsloping or something when there were SW winds..I could see the moisture flowing from the bands coming from Lake Erie and it was like an upslope effect from those bands. Plus, it was a higher elevation. It's a beautiful area too, with gorgeous evergreens and a very mountainous feel.

Why did I NOT take that teaching job in Springville?!?!?! Gaaaaaah, kicking myself! lol

Yes! Winter of 93-94 was spectacular for that. I had a roommate when I lived at Wood's Edge off of Centerville Rd....he hated snow. I remember one time I shoveled the driveway and made nice big piles. The next day, it was very sunny, and he took the snow from the piles and spread it all over the driveway to melt. I was ssooooo not amused!

Bahaha! I can't stand the neighbors who don't do a final mow and their grass sticks up 4 inches from the earth's surface! You need one solid HEAVY snow and ice to smash that CRAP down to the earth. Horst is one of my favorites...followed him very closely while growing up in Lancaster. NO hype, loves the community, and an excellent meteorologist/professor.

Hoping you guys have a nice, solid snowfall to enjoy for a couple days!

I mean it's not like a total shut-out, with some minor snow chances over the next two weeks (unless you live on the top of a hill looking down at everybody else)...but still pretty depressing that that's all we can get. Things look even worse for the New England crew, other than the mountain tops.

You didn't get in on the lake effect band in November that gave @CNY_WX 2 or 3 inches? You really must be in a bad spot of Oswego County. Patience is wearing thin...especially after the "winter" of last season...although the heaviest snowfall we had in this area last winter was in...the middle of MAY. lol

Melting snow after a snowfall is pretty normal in your region. I was hoping living in a lake effect area would help keep it whiter (which it does), but we actually need some solid cold air to get decent snow from the lakes here...unlike the 'cold" that is mild Pacific/maritime air. I am a bigger fan of a consistent wintry look...which has become pretty rare over much of the U.S. these days.

Exactly. There have been so many times here that the temperature ends up 5 or so degrees warmer than what was called for. The southerly winds off the higher elevations warm the air SO rapidly. P.S. Welcome to the board!

Oops, my bad. I thought you said Tyson bite...

Yeah, warm...warm...warm...yawn. Much of the Great Lakes region hasn't done very well the last several winters either. If snowstorms do happen, they melt a couple days later.

There's no struggle these days for daily temps to be 10 to 20 degrees above "normal". Unreal how much things have changed this past decade.

Perusing through the other subs, it seems like consensus is increasing that the second half of December may very well continue the suckage of above average temps.
