That's crazy Heavier snows have fallen to their west, east, and south this season. Reminiscent of several years ago when we couldn't buy consistent coastal huggers for several seasons. In any case, Syracuse east through western new England have struggled this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there really spots frozen that flat and clean? My hike idea might have been a little ambitious trying to go all the way out to the break wall but shoreline walk def looks ok. I think everything is 3-4" thick going out at least a few thousand feet. That ice looks to be south of here near the Dunkirk pier? But you can pretty safely ice skate now almost anywhere along the immediate shore line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hard part, though, is finding a mirror flat surface like that. 99.9% of the ice I’ve seen on the big lakes is crusty, horrible stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it went this year with the few warm days melted the snow on top and refroze. Its a good year to find clean ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 GFS with some LES behind each passing clipper/front, not much"widespread" snow to be had the next 7-10 days.. The Friday into Saturday clipper looks the best currently, at least on the GFS . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Well at least 1 place is having a somewhat solid season and it shows you how much"luck" is needed for LES.. Mexico COOP is approaching 90" on the season with a 2 foot snow depth..They have quite a bit more snow than all the other lower elevation Coop in Oswego county... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty good signal for -EPO at hour 240 on the EPS and around ~216-240 on the GEFS. That ridging in the NE Pacific is what we could call a -EPO. If there was a trough there it would be a +EPO. Now for real cold you do need that ridge to build northward more for cross-polar flow, but with it being 240 hours out that's completely on the table. The main issue is that it is 240 hours out and can completely change by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 Went cross country skiing in Alleghany for the first time. That place must have the best cross country in NYS? Was incredible. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 Just perfect conditions we did around 6 miles of trails out of a possible 18/19. Going to go back to do the other ones. They have different ratings. Green (Easy) Blue (Moderate) and Black (Difficult). Similar to downhill skiing 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotted this gap yesterday in the ice as it was likely shifting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
