Not even Tim?

LOL... I was gone all evening and this gave me quite the chuckle. I came across this tidbit just a bit ago: Dearest friends of the Buffalonian colonies, Whilst it tis true that we do have a snowcover in these lands, I can guarantee you that there are flowers yearning to pop out their petals in the first thaw that falls across the land. There seems to be a burning hell furnace that soars in on the south winds. Ol' Man Max of the Syrs walked off one day thinking we had accidentally settled in the Carolinas and said something about exposing hairy legs to the equatorial warmth from the south that seems to invade this land. He has yet to return...We think he may have made a wrong turn and found himself in the lands of the toothless...lead by a wolf? There are many legends of this faraway land and how they can only eat using their tongues and gums! Alas, I am indeed bitter because I was promised tons of white powders in which I could frolic, sniff, roll around, and push Mrs. Tughillory. Instead, I find myself watching the clouds disperse, avoiding strange white pellets from Hell, and hoarding any snowfalls into piles in the shaded forests of Lysander. The Natives are beginning to suspect things about me, and I am indeed becoming concerned for my well-being. I have come across many who seem to be brandishing sharp items and sneering at me. I first thought this was their Native language but now I'm not sure. If you do not receive bitter word from me again in a month's time, please come looking for me. I may be sacrificed into the Hellmouth or banished to a worse place: the Mid-Atlantic Nation. May the Erie Lake freeze over forever and you all die of frostbite gangrene. Coldest Regards, Brother Tughillory Matt of the Lysander Colony

Well, he is probably referring to Syracuse, where it's ALWAYS a blowtorch 5 to 10 degrees warmer than everywhere else during a thaw.

You don't think some of the glacier will be able to survive mid 40s, rain, and high dewpoints? Could be lots of flooding with water not soaking into the ground and blocked drains.

Well, it's not just the programmers...it's the atmosphere too (see post below.)

Yikes, looks pretty boring through the end of next week. Hopefully the lake effect keeps providing.

Check out the Synoptic Snow Hole over Syracuse... EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Same conditions here. The piles are looking better and better.

Seriously, you Buffalo guys seem to get snow from any wind direction this month. You would by far average waaaay more snow than CNY if Lake Erie didn't freeze over. We have to rely on a northerly component to the wind to get anything from a lake around these parts. Maybe with milder winters and less freezing, your average will surpass ours in the years to come.

I have another complaint: it still trolls me with ice.

Although it's not the dark greens being displayed earlier, the wind has shifted and NW Onondaga is getting a moderate to heavy snowfall currently. Definitely heavier than the returns would imply. Just looked outside and I would say we have picked up 3 to 4 inches since 8:30 with big flakes falling presently.

So, you think we can get the cutter slated for next week to move hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of miles SE to jackpot us then? Nah...of course not.

I remember watching that video and thinking how you were blowing through the stop signs. Now I know why...

Got room for a couple stowaways? I'll sit in the trunk and @Syrmaxcan ride on the roof.

So look at Cirrus while a storm misses to the east and then playing in puddles as a storm goes to our west several days later?

That looks like a HUGE improvement for you from not having grass completely covered for the season as of less than 2 weeks ago!

Nice! The main part of the band looks like it's still north of here (on radar) but it's been pounding for the past hour. Woohoo!

Made it into the band about 10 minutes ago...heavy snow falling.

Snowing pretty good here for the past several minutes. It's not the huge fluffers though that come with the heavier part of the bands.

As soon as it started moving south, it started fizzling quickly. Perhaps I'll get a few good cells to train over my locale.

Everybody around here has been cleaning up the snowfall from last night and today, so I am hopeful for another couple inches tonight so we all have to do it again. Looking out for the fitness levels of my neighbors is priority, of course.

How much annual snowfall would you say you average there in Hannibal? You seem at a good pivot point for events that have some westerly components AND northerly ones.

Of course something wouldn't be placed right. There's always something...it's laughable at this point. Probably why Freak has given up on storm tracking for CNY.

My wife: "Hey, hubby. What are you looking at?" Me: "Uh, Buffaloweather's legs..." My wife: "Umm..isn't that your weather board thing??" Me: "Yup...and those legs tell me all I need to know...."

The 'Cuse forcefield reigns on to live another day. We shall continue nickel and diming our way to half of average. I think the band will move north for a bit now and then come crashing back south as winds turn NW. We've had occasional light snow through the rest of the afternoon after that initial band that dumped. Probably 3 to 4 new inches (synoptic last night and lake effect today).
