TugHillMatt Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I know I'm an oddball, but I am looking forward to the 50s for highs the next week...if it holds. Seems like it often gets warmer as the long range gets closer... but 50s with the sunshine is delightful to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGM Blizzard Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Sun has broken through and temp has soared to 80 here. Fantastic 2nd half of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 8 minutes ago, Blue Moon said: Do you believe that may have something to do with warmer winters -> less ice on the lake -> more lake effect snow? Meanwhile our snowfall averages in the subtropics have dropped like a rock. Quite possibly. Pittsburgh is another location where normal snowfall increased by several inches, and a fair portion of our snowfall is driven by the lakes. I’ll bet there are other more complex factors involved like storm tracks (that may also be affected by climate change). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syracuse has seen its averages decrease, so I would stay this is just a statistical anomaly for a 30 year period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Rebounded pretty good in the afternoon with a few peaks of sun, actually at my high for the day right now at 65.6°.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Not sure what’s more depressing, 8 hours of daylight and cloudy all day in November or 14.5 hours of daylight and cloudy all day in May. We’ve had some breaks here and there but clouds have been tough to budge lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 New climate norms 1990-2020 for Syracuse. Syracuse gained 4 inches on their annual snowfall to bring the yearly average to 127.8 inches. https://www.syracuse.com/weather/2021/05/cny-has-gotten-wetter-whiter-and-warmer-new-weather-normals-show.html?fbclid=IwAR2gJsKobj-XNR5PGcqsV8aYakBi90ISdisYk0KyI30_MY7HkeqMcbvOiNo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to go and check what the general patterns were like in those winters. I know there were a few really big synoptic storms thrown in during that decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo was on a course about 8 years ago at this time to drop to a sub-90” 30 year normal. A couple significantly higher than average years and several average years kept us from that ignominy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 5 hours ago, BuffaloWeather said: I'm shocked our temp didn't rise more over the last 30 years with all the above normal temps we've been having. About .1 degrees every decade at current pace. Looks like 96-97 were quite cold years. The 2000-2030 update will likely see that average go way up unless we get some much colder air. https://www.weather.gov/buf/BUFtemp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems pool chemicals are in short supply this year. Trying to find the 5 in 1 mixture I've used the last 3 summers and its impossible to find. Walmart and Lowes are all sold out.
