Look at the top 10 warmest/coldest years at the bottom. 4 out of 5 of the warmest years on record are in the last 15 years. The last time a year was top 10 for coldest on record? 1943...and before that 1926. Insane https://www.weather.gov/buf/BUF_top10 Yes, politically-speaking, environmental issues are an area where I trend towards the liberal side. I believe in being a steward of creation and the earth...and our lack of doing so as a world for instead profit and power gain...is leading to some negative results and consequences. I mean, when you destroy the world's biomes at the rate we are, what do we expect? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oswego to Fulton to Syracuse strip.....BAD. Hmmm wonder where they get their stats.. Maybe their own spotter network? Official Oswego spotter has nearly 30" less than that.. About 80" below the norm..2nd year in a row under 60".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 2000s Fulton averaged 193" a year, 15-16 years around that decade 140s on average.. Can't erase a decade but definitely an anomaly imo... When I first moved to Fulton TS forecast Averaged 180" per season, 5 years later it's now going to be in the 160s.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't erase a decade but definitely an anomaly imo... Those are some pretty significant differences. On the talk of Oswego's amounts for the year, perhaps it's location-dependent? Snowfall seems to be very different there from one side to the other side of the city with events. Some parts of the city had a couple nice teakettle or low-wind events in February, so I wouldn't be surprised with the "higher" numbers. At the same time, this winter sucked...so I wouldn't be surprised with the lower amounts. I think that area had a worse synoptic year than even here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Lake Erie is ice free much earlier than normal this year. Last year we had tons of ice in it in May due to colder temps from late march-May. This bodes well for a nice spring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossbowftw3 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Can't give a vote of confidence yet for snow but if it comes together it should certainly be our last shot at anything appreciable for the winter. Will be fun to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Majority of showers on Fri will be from the Finger Lakes and North Country eastward as occluded front sweeps through. Additional potential for some more sfc based thunder as that front moves through. Otherwise, drying trend should develop as dry slot with the system lifts across. Raised temps most areas on Fri as temps should not fall off til the cold front moves through Fri night as the low tracks across New England or Quebec. Increased winds and gusts over blended guidance all areas on Friday. Depending on timing of this system, potential is there sometime late Thu night through Fri afternoon of advisory level winds. Primary blended guidance, NBM, already hinting at 50 mph wind gusts at BUF on Fri which is pretty good considering how far out this is still. Climatology and forecast pressure pattern would suggest greatest chances for advisory level winds over WNY east-northeast across lake plains. Finally, with such a dynamic system in the spring, you would guess pattern would eventually find its way back to some snow and that is the case here. Still differences on how far south low tracks, but seems period of light snow could occur later Fri night into Sat morning especially over the North Country. After drying out later Sat into Sat night, next chances for mainly rain return again next Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
