Lock it in. 1-2 feet for most of upstate!

I’ve been working out in East Otto not far from Ellicottville the last 2 weeks at 2000’ in elevation. The color change is awesome there. Up at 2000 feet the trees are already past peak and half bare.

Yep this organization has become okay with losing over the years and while you can tell Eichel hates losing when he throws his stick or his helmet in the locker room after a game you don’t see him coming forward as a leader and saying heres what we’re gonna do about it to his teammates. Josh Allen on the other hand is not only a great player but a great leader and makes everyone want to play their hardest 100% of the time on the field and that’s worth almost as much as the on the field talent sometimes.

We don’t know if he’s a good GM. It’s his first time as a GM. I like the moves he’s made with Staal and Hall but it’s still far too early to say if they’re turning it all around. I like coach Kruger a lot and the guys seem to like to play for him so that’s a good start but I think if they under achieve again this season things are going to start to unravel pretty quickly as I could see Eichel wanting out and Hall not resigning. Staal is also only a 1 year contact so he could be gone after this year as well especially given his age. They need a goalie badly but it seems that ship has sailed already for the free agent market. At this point I would use more Ullmark then Hutton but I think that’s going to be the Achilles heel on the team this year. Also need to get Dahlin playing more minutes and with more confidence because his talent is beginning to go to waste if they continue to play Risto with more minutes per game then him.

I mean he chose Buffalo which still bewilders me. Probably has to do with $, being only a one year contract he can get out after this year if it goes as it’s gone the last 10 seasons, he can boost his stats playing on the wing with Eichel as his center (ala Skinner 2 years ago) and then beat feet to a better team with a long term deal. He also said he really liked his time with Kruger in Edmonton even though it was in the shortened lockout season. Top 2 lines are stacked now but our bottom 6 are pretty average to below average. With 7 defensemen ton the team they really should look at trading Ristolinen for a bottom 6 forward.

Won’t make a difference. Sabres are a total mess. Only a 1 year contact and he’ll surely be gone after the Sabres miss playoffs for the 11th straight season.

Bills v Chiefs snow game next Sunday?

I don’t think you can use KBUF numbers with how their sensor was way hot for quite some time. I bet it’s one of the warmest years on record but I would question that we’re nearly 2 degrees above it at this point.

2.3” on my station in Eggertsville. Rain is coming down heavy once again.

Because it’s the GFS at 10 days out and this is what it does all the time lol. It also shows a big cool shot and then as it gets closer it keeps pushing it further and further back and makes it look less and less impressive each run.

Got down to 35 here. Lower than forecasted but the growing season goes on here lol.

NWS is definitely on to winter now as they’re posting about ice thicknesses on lakes! Lmao.

I’m somehow honestly more impressed with experiencing the 3% RH when it was 90 degrees with a dew point of 3 degrees haha. That was such an extreme I’ve never experienced before. I tried to clean the windshield on my car that day outside with canned glass cleaner and it literally was instantly evaporating the second it hit the glass between the hot temps, full sunshine, 30+ mph winds and, 3 percent humidity. It was absolutely mind boggling. Pulled my car inside and could clean it just fine.

So I’m back in home in Buffalo. Once I figured out that this storm was going to be a bust we decided to leave and get home ASAP. Laramie only landed up getting about 3-4” total in which my father in law said mostly melted by yesterday evening. It did get hairy going over the summit with at least 5-6” of snow and heavy snow falling but by the time we got to Cheyenne just 15-20 minutes later it was barely sticking to the roads and only about a slushy inch. By the time we got through the Panhandle of Nebraska it turned to all rain and we even hit some thunderstorms in Iowa and Illinois. Turned out to be a bust for lower elevations but still impressive for early September especially on the heels of 90 + degrees just a few days prior. The Mountains just to the West and NW of Laramie saw anywhere from 12-20” + though so it’s not like the storm didn’t produce I think it just had a hard time overcoming the extremely warm ground from the antecedent conditions in the 90s for such a long time. The weather there is so fascinating and I can’t wait to go back.

Not very impressed so far. About 1 - 1.5” of paste but it is coming down good now. Can’t drive up to the mountains in my front wheel drive van lol. Would never make it up no chance in hell lol. Looks like they have about 4-6 inches in the mountains but trying to get up without 4 wheel drive or chains would be completely impossible and far too dangerous. Will post some pics in a bit.

The winds are insane out here. A normal day has 20-30mph winds. My father in law frequently has 70-80mph winds numerous days throughout the year. The weather here is so extreme. You can have 90 degree temps one day with 3 percent RH to snow and below 0 temps in 2 days. You can have insane thunderstorms and huge hail blow through frequently in summertime as well as an F3 tornado that hit a half a mile from his house. Then you have 2 mountain ranges within 1/2hr to 1 hr where there’s snow on top of Medicine Bow Peak year around. The weather alone is an awesome reason to live here. Everything else is icing on the cake. We were in Denver for a few days last week, we went to the Denver Zoo and Denver Aquarium which absolutely blow the Buffalo Zoo/Niagara Aquarium out of the water. I see the appeal of Denver and the surrounding suburbs as it is such a cool/trendy place to live with many of the same weather extremes that Wyoming can see although to a lesser extent, the only thing I don’t like about Denver/Suburbs is its so populated and there’s so much traffic it would be such a pain to deal with on a daily basis not to mention the home prices are insane there. Average price of a house in Denver is $606,000. Sure won’t be able to afford anything close to that on my Salary lol. For the prices of homes at least in SE Wyoming (as you said NW Wyoming bear Jackson Hole/Yellowstone is a different story) combined with such low property tax/no income tax/ low sales tax/ lower food/cost of goods prices and all the things to do here I honestly don’t know how there’s not more people here as Laramie only has a population of just over 32,000. Cheyenne is nice too but about 1500 ft or so lower in elevation and about double or so the population but does have more stores ect...

NWS has a low of -2 here in Laramie now. WSW for 4-8” of snow. Pretty incredible considering it should be near 90 again today.

WSW for here in Laramie for 4-8” of heavy wet snow. All the trees are still fully leafed. NWS now has a low of -3 here Tuesday night. Luckily I’ll be outta here Tuesday afternoon.

Sure is. Gonna be leaving Tuesday evening. Snow should be over but low temp is forecasted at 9 degrees. Gonna be a hell of a change going from 90 today to 9 by Tuesday evening with a foot of snow in between. I have a hard time believing that much is going to stick given the antecedent conditions but I guess when temps quickly plummet into the mid 20s with heavy snow falling its certainly possible.

Driest air I’ve ever felt. 90 degrees out with a 3 degree dew point giving a RH of 3%. No wonder there’s so many wildfires out here. Current conditions at Laramie Regional Airport (KLAR) Lat: 41.32°NLon: 105.67°WElev: 7270ft. Fair 90°F 32°C Humidity 3% Wind Speed W 16 G 28 mph Barometer 30.36 in (1016.2 mb) Dewpoint 3°F (-16°C) Visibility 10.00 mi Heat Index 86°F (30°C) Last update 5 Sep 4:53 pm MDT

Could also be BUF only updates once an hour. Especially when the sun goes down temps can easily drop 3+ degrees in an hour which could be the disparity between the surrounding sites which update as frequently as every minute.

Laramie. Down to 12 degrees Tuesday night. GFS shows single digits. Insane for early September. Even better Tuesdays my birthday. Best birthday present ever.

I’d be doing the same thing I do here in Buffalo, working out of Cheyenne and living in Laramie. Nothing set in stone yet just an idea we’re contemplating in a couple years from now after my sons adoption goes through. Making $60,000 a year in Wyoming would go a lot further than $60,000 a year in New York. The money I would save on property tax and state income tax alone would make such a huge difference not to mention the cost of gas and food is even cheaper here than in New York. It really is a great place to live and raise a young family.

Visiting family. My girls dad lives in Laramie. Awesome awesome place to visit and am considering moving here once my sons adoption goes through (could be a year or more still). Elevation in the town and his house 8 miles north is 7200 feet but just West (20 mi) is the Snowy mountains which we went up yesterday to 12,000 feet. Just East (less than 10 miles) is the Laramie Mountains and Vedauwoo Which is over 9000 feet and has absolutely awesome rock features. The mountains out here blow any of the mountains out east out of the water. We only went up to Mirror Lake which is at 10,800 feet or so but there was still plenty of snow left up there and you could feel how much thinner the air is up there. There are so many things to do here with camping in Medicine Bow National Forest, 4 wheeling through the mountains, and great fishing on the reservoir and Alpine lakes at nearly 10,000 feet. Throw in no state income tax and my father in laws $300,000 house only pays $1400 a year in taxes how could you not want to live here?

I’m in Laramie Wyoming until Tuesday. Models are showing 10-14” of snow here Monday night through Tuesday afternoon. Will have to post some pics for sure regardless of how much we get! Will be the earliest snowstorm I have ever experienced.
