Syracuse is actually a pretty fun town. I’ve been there for work a number of times. N of Syracuse though is literally the middle of nowhere.

What kind of insulation?


.

Lots of old houses along Barnegat Bay. Many built in the late 1800s - Pre WW2

My home was built in 1909. Rock wool "insulation" (if you want to call it that) on the first floor. Nothing on the second floor. 

Cold winter nights in the teens it'll be in the 50s inside. Wood stove heats up downstairs, baseboard upstairs

In the summertime, upstairs never drops below 80 degrees, even with window A/C.

Who would stay there?  It is soooo cold and snowy when you could live in Florida, California, Texas, etc.  A little something there for everyone.  And Vermont is gorgeous and honestly has more to offer for snow lovers, as does Maine.

I’ve lived in Texas. Dealing with just one summer with 100+ degree heat for months is pure torture. I lived there in May 2015 when there was near epic rainfall in part of the state and plenty of severe weather so there was that. But I missed the Jan 2015 and 2016 storms up here for which I’m still pissed.

the GEFS and EPS aren't even fundamentally different, they just have different degrees of phasing. it's not a massive leap from one to the other. I would still expect a smaller event here but it's not like it's that far off. all guidance this afternoon has also improved the northern stream

It looks as though the geps also improved slightly.

I put the upstate cities along with Ohio… cloudy kind of depressing their best days are behind them. The Adirindacks have charm because they are spectacular. 

 

I almost got a knifed in Albany on that one nice street they have with cafés. Syracuse and Rochester are just kind of burnt out and bad. Buffalo has a few nice blocks they redid. 

 

These are not places you want to live. even if you like snow that same thing that brings them snow in the winter makes some very cloudy and overcast and cool on many days when it’s sunny and beautiful down here in the spring and fall

I don't know about Syracuse and Rochester but the capitol district has a lot of nice places. Every city has it's good and bad.

Albany is pretty run down but there are some decent areas downtown. On the west side near I-87/airport not too bad either. Near the river/Rensselaer are depressing.

Yeah I'm from Upstate.  I went to Binghamton for school.  Worst town ever.  On the other hand, I love the finger lakes, Ithaca and Watkins Glen.  I also love the Adirondacks, and I had a camp there.  The state is beautiful most of the year.  But because of the governance or lack thereof, the state has fallen on hard times, going on decades now.  The upstaters have no voice in Albany and their towns are a mess - crime, poverty, drugs, and urban decay are in every corner of upstate.  Sad.  The government they need is not the same as the downstate epicenter.  Industry and farming are dead and dying and there is no such thing down here so no one cares.  I would retire in upstate if it were governed properly but it can never be, so away we go.  I've always said Upstate is wasted in New York.  Shameful.

or you can be in Florida and not -20 this time of year while having to pay high bonkers income tax. 

If you want similar weather but a better cost of living, New Hampshire has no income tax or any tax on interest or dividends; it's a tax haven in our region. You get New England weather with Tennessee or Florida tax practices.

I'm talking more about the general capitol district. Places like Latham, Colonie, Clifton Park, Saratoga are nice places to live.

:clap:Fully Agree, get back on the damn topic.

We’re tracking 1-3” at worst at this point in January. It could turn around but when the pattern’s as boring as watching grass grow-not much else to talk about. Anyone have any details on the one EPS member out of 50 that gives us more than the 1-3”?
