BuffaloWeather Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'd trade all synoptic snow rest of year for that Ontario band tonight and tomorrow. At 540 PM EST, A band of lake effect snow producing snow fall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour will be between Watertown and Pulaski, extending inland across the Tug Hill to Lowville. This band will consolidate into a single intense band this evening and settle near the Jefferson and Oswego county line. Expect travel to become difficult to impossible through this band as snowfall rates increase. Visibility will be near zero in this heavy lake effect snow band tonight.

The amazing part is that person lives there, smack dab at ground zero of the biggest lake effect events...can I ask why a bunch of us haven't thought about purchasing a house or cabin up there? That would be sick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be sick! Yeah has to be close to 300" so far. If we all chipped in would be so cheap, property up there is very cheap and taxes cannot be too high. The hard part would be having a truck that could get us to the cabin. We would need a jeep with a 40" lift kit. https://twitter.com/CYerdon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Just wondering, but what is the average housing price around Fulton/Syracuse area? The housing boom in Buffalo is out of control. Houses in Hamburg are selling within 24 hours for $10-20k over asking. Taxes in Hamburg are 3-10k per year. We're looking in the 140-180k range for 2 years now with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY_WX Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Carol Yerdon, the observer in North Redfield, tweeted Monday that she was at 270.7 for the season so there’s a good chance she will break 300 this weekend. Her record is 424.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be sick! I've thought about it. But I wouldn't want sh*t shack like most everything up there. I like my creature comforts. If i do it someday i'd certainly have people up for LES parties. But once I start adding a Jacuzzi, snowmobiles etc., its starts getting pricey. I've thought about a move to Parish, which isn't the Tug but probably averages 200"/yr...but i also don't know if i want to sign up for a long commute into Syracuse either. So i dunno. If my part time stock trading continues well...I may do something eventually if only for a weekend diversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 I guess it's all relative though, because how many good paying jobs are there in Fulton compared to Buffalo? Buffalos economy has exploded the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Everything is going up due to the min wage increase, fast food prices are insane up here lol Bag of coffee went from $3-8$, inflation is a bltch, best time to buy property is NOW..

wolfie09 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Fulton is only 12 miles from ksyr northern burbs and 20+miles from Syracuse, plenty of opportunity if willing to travel..

A bit pricey. Although, a mortgage of $330/month is walking around money. But i'd bet taxes would double that. It's got 9 acres but well and sceptic. I'll bet it would need a water treatment system but maybe not. Of course I have well and sceptic also and I'm in civilization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yeah that's true forget how close to Cuse it is. Inflation is definitely going to be a problem all over soon. My rent is $550 a month for a 1 bedroom here. We got pretty lucky. We are in a month to month rental agreement so have been saving boatloads of money to buy a house. We're being really picky so that's probably why it's taken so long. Most rent around here is $850-1300 for 2-3 bedroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably true. Interest rates have been pinned to the floor at historic lows by the Fed since the 2008 disaster and supposedly they want to unwind $4.5T of QE...that plus inflation perking up...rates prob going higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 How far of a drive is it from Fulton/Clay to hit this band? 30 mins? ...A BAND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL AFFECT SOUTHWESTERN JEFFERSON... SOUTHWESTERN LEWIS AND NORTHEASTERN OSWEGO COUNTIES... An area of heavy lake effect snow is producing snowfall rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour late this evening. The center of the band will remain near the Jefferson and Oswego County border between Pulaski and Adams Center through midnight.

It blows me away that you guys don't make that drive a few times a year. I drove on I81 twice this summer, when I went to Saranac Lake and Ottawa and all I could think of is what that place would look like in winter.
