Just returned to Pennsylvania from a vacation in Lake George, NY. Drove hundreds of miles through the Adirondacks over the past week and all I can say is.....beautiful!

The weather didn't want to cooperate but I still enjoyed the trip and saw "some" color in the trees, especially over 1000'. Definetely a place I'd like to visit again. Had a little frost this morning before my departure as well.

Sure did, I think next time I'll visit sometime just after Labor Day when its warm enough to do lake activities (boating, fishing, swimming) comfortably. Lake George was crystal clear up where I stayed in Hague. I was impressed.

31F at 1500' elevation just outside of Margaretville, NY. Ended up on my arse due to thin coating of ice on the steps!

I've spent a lot of time down there in the past month and a half. For the wrong reasons.:thumbsdown:

33 this morning after 31 yesterday. Looks like it will be a perfect weekend! drunk.gif

30.0° this morning at 5:30 after a low of 28.9° yesterday (it tends to drop a little lower after I leave for work). Looking forward to the beautiful weekend.:thumbsup:

Awesome fishing on the north end of the lake; if you can this time of year, Columbus day can be nice, too. Crowds are down, coho start their run, lake trout active and bass ain't bad either.

North end of the lake is where its at! Much more tranquil than the southern end. I think a lot of it has to do with vacationers not wanting to go through the narrows. Nice bass spot right off Hague where there is a shallow area (15') about a quarter of the way across the lake right next to a hefty drop off.

Still out there, but there appears to be some risk of a wind storm in the Buffalo area on Thursday/Friday. As modeled, it's not a perfect set-up by any means...but with a strong low in the midwest...it's something to watch

how about them bills today!!!

12z Euro would imply some back end flakes (and maybe a bit "more" than that) for the highest of terrain I'd think.....for next week:

I'm not expecting much snow in Toronto out of this - perhaps a dusting if I'm lucky. I guess this is something i should get used to this upcoming winter. It doesn't matter how cold Toronto gets this winter, it won't compare to what I experienced in Ottawa for the past 6 years!

Latest from Buffalo NWS.....

THEN THE COASTAL STORM WOULD TAKE

OVER AND MOVE UP ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

BEFORE HEADING NORTH TO THE ST LAWRENCE VALLEY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS

COULD POTENTIALLY SPREAD A STRIPE OF HEAVY SNOW BACK ACROSS THE

WESTERN ADIRONDACKS AND POSSIBLY THE TUG HILL REGION WHERE A

DEFORMATION ZONE WOULD BE IN PLACE. FOR NOW...WILL USE RAIN SHOWERS

TO COVER THE EVENT AS IT HAS A HIGHER PROBABILITY. THIS WILL

CERTAINLY BE INTERESTING TO WATCH AS IT UNFOLDS THOUGH IN THE COMING

DAYS.

Add to this the potential for a "sneaky" severe threat for tomorrow for some parts of NYS and WNE.

Looks a bit more impressive (to me) for some of us tomorrow than earlier today. Decent LCHS cool season set-up in my opinion. Catskills east to Litchfield Hills/S'rn Berkshires could see some MESO's with brief spin-ups within a QLCS. Has some similarities to 11/17/2010 and 11/20/1989. While these two cited dates were much more impressive from a kinematic perspective tomorrow's event should feature some moderate range wind speeds and divergence. I would expect the best chance for any spinups tomorrow to be to the left of the 850 hPa jet and in the RRQ of the 300 hPa jet.

latest model projections look decent for high wind potential. GFS BUFKIT has 56 kt at 900mb at BUF on Saturday morning. The moment transfer tool only puts gusts to 39 kt there, though. However, the point over the east end of the lake puts sustained winds at 36 kt with gusts to 50 kt. Lake-effect CAPE approaches 1000 j/kg on Saturday morning so there is also a decent chance of lake-effect thunderstorms along with some hefty rain totals where the band sets up.
