If you get a lot of great footage next year, maybe you can get a contract to chase. Or a BJ from Cantore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 But yeah if I had to pick a dream job it would 100% be Reed Timmer, next would be professional hockey player. That's a long lost dream. There is still potential to be Reed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I don't think I've seen thunder snow in 2-3 years here. We had a stretch there where I would see it a few times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 @lakeeffectkid383 Looks like this is the official total list KBUF is going for with event. I feel like some of these totals are pretty low based on what I saw in my chases. I measured more then 2 feet in the hills south of Eden of fresh snow at the end of the event, not using 6 hour measurements. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=BUF&product=PNS&format=CI&version=12&glossary=0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hopefully they salt the roads overnight. Getting slick outside as the temp is dropping. Throw some fresh fluff on that for the morning commute, going to be messy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 The snow piles at the end of my driveway are bigger then they were after the 30" after Christmas. This is definitely one of the best months in awhile for winter lovers. Snow has been falling almost everyday here this month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 4" in the Boston hills. Going to have to watch any warm ups and rain for flood issues.

Consistent snow and cold but no real brutal cold which has been nice. If I didn’t lose all my snowpack from the Christmas storms would have gone almost 2 straight months with a snowpack. I’m pretty well set with my winter fix. Few more fluffy clippers then let’s get to Spring. Itching to get back out in the yard! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned that I don't need months of cold and snow, just one 4-6 week period where it doesn't thaw once and we build a solid snowpack. Sprinkle in a few decent synoptic events, a little lake effect, and I'm happy as a clam. It's been hard coming to terms with the fact that its all ends starting today. I felt about as happy as I have in a long time yesterday and I think a lot of had to do with all the winter fun I've been having the last few weeks. If only we could have kept this going for another 2 weeks I would have given this winter an A. So it's not about huge storms for me, or even a ton of snow, I just need consistent winter weather. Never thought this year would have scratched the itch the way things started, but I'm sure glad we turned it around. I'll be interested to see how long it takes to melt the 15" pack I have right now. After playing in snow all day yesterday I think it'll hang around for quite some time. It's incredibly dense stuff, must be 3-4 SWE. We shall see. The lack of a big synoptic hit has been disappointing, and December and most of January were straight-up depressing, but the last few weeks have been terrific. Building a solid snowpack, replenishing with fresh powder every few days, and actually feeling like winter salvages it reasonably enough. A lot of great snow time with my 3-year-old (even occasionally with my 1-year-old), and a way for her to get play time with friends outdoors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated seeing snow in early may last year. Spring and fall just do not do it for me. Once I've got my fill of snow, I'm ready for 80 degrees and sun. April and May last year, through about Memorial Day, were absolute shite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was super psyched when we got hit with the 2 inch snow squall here in mid-May last year! For it to snow during the day, cover everything, and have some of it survive to the evening...IMPRESSIVE. Of course I was one of the only nerds excited about it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're pretty much the same as me but I want it a little warmer than that. I enjoy fall but hate spring as the cold drags on far too long.
