Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Not bad, I remember couple years back they went down to like -35F. They're down to -31F/-35C now. Wonder if they'll make 40 below on both temperature scales tonight? Pretty incredible. For cities, perhaps Watertown should be called the "icebox of eastern America".

I suspect some places in the Adirondacks get 10-15 degrees colder than Watertown, but definitely agree for cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixny Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Strong wording out of Buffalo for weekend clipper. A POWERFUL STORM WILL THEN DEVELOP OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES LATEFRIDAY NIGHT...AND AS THIS DEEPENING STORM CROSSES TO OUR NORTH ONSATURDAY...IT WILL SWING ANOTHER ARCTIC COLD FRONT ACROSS OURREGION. STRONG WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY THE PASSAGE OF THIS LARGESTORM SYSTEM...WITH WINDS OF 30 TO 50 MPH AND WIDESPREAD SNOWPOSSIBLY PRODUCING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT ANDSATURDAY MORNING. Low shear, good moisture could lead to big totals with lake effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayuud11 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 keep an eye on Saturday for an unexpected blizzard with 50- 60 mph winds for us thank you SNOW SHOWERS WILL BREAK OUT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING ARCTIC FRONT... AND PENDING THE SPEED OF THE FRONT...THERE COULD BE A PERIOD WHERE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL BE IN PLACE OVER THE WESTERN COUNTIES. SINCE THERE IS STILL TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE AMOUNT OF WIND...AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT WE WILL GET ENOUGH SNOW TO WARRANT A WINTER STORM WATCH...WILL JUST ADDRESS THE OVERALL SCENARIO IN THE HWO...INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. THE DEEPENING SFC LOW WILL LIFT TO SOUTHERN QUEBEC ON SATURDAY WHILE SWEEPING ITS STRONG COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER OUR FORECAST AREA. IT WILL NOT BE THE DAY TO TRAVEL ACROSS THE REGION AS STRONG WINDS AND WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE COMMON. STAY TUNED TO POSSIBLE WINTER STORM OR HIGH WIND WATCHES IN UPCOMING PACKAGES.

ayuud11 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Just a general question for upstaters. Why is Watertown often so bitterly cold, compared to places around it? Often it is even colder than Ottawa, a two hour drive north. As I type it is already fifteen below in the city. Does the Watertown/Fort Drum/ Gouverneur area get a lot of radiational cooling due to its topography? http://www.comet.ucar.edu/outreach/abstract_final/1083405_buff_st.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like seasonal extremes, Watertown sounds like the city to be in the eastern US. Tonnes of snow, bitter cold as well as very hot temperatures in the summer. I was there for the Sacket's Harbor War of 1812 weekend in early August 2012 and it got up to the mid 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, that idiotic term has angered me for years. Ice isnt black, it's just ice. -end rant- That said, pretty cool video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leelee Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I concur on your rant. Also, this cold and occasional dusting stuff really really sucks. This will get worse with Saturday's 1-3" blizzard and prime LES setup next week going to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice isnt black, it's just ice. -end rant- That said, pretty cool video. I agree with the your comment regarding river ice...doesn't make sense. On the other hand, I think the term 'black ice' is fairly legit for ice glazed on asphalt since it appears 'black' and recognized publically as such.
