64 yesterday, 58 so far today. Lovely.

Thick cloud deck today is putting a damper on what could be a great day.  Nice but I want my sun!

Man what a treat I have this evening lol I haven't had NY style pizza from the tri state area in about 7 years and I got it delivered..lol (girl coming back from Jersey)..

Shit looks gross.  Just can’t beat a Buffalo Pizza.  Puffy sauce covered crust.  Cup n char Ronis.  And it’s an 18” cut into 12 uneven slices.  

Was hoping to hop on the home buying bandwagon mid last year but the prices took off just before I was in the financial position to upgrade.  Not even worth looking right now as what I want is above my price range.  Figure things have to level off here at some point.  Might as well use another year to pay down some more debt and bank some additional down payment funds and hope the market is more stable then.  Just crazy how fast these prices have gone up.  Bought my house in 2010 for 90k (houses in my neighborhood are all almost identical and usually run close in price)  At that time the average price range was running 85k-95k.  Price increased slowly to a 115k-125k range in 2017/2018.  Now post pandemic houses here still in decent shape or recently renovated can fetch 200k+
 

A quarter mil for a 3 bed 1 bath in South Buffalo.  Come on…

Is anyone else still aboard the snow train? I've disembarked it and boarded the severe train.

I’m on the gimme some of this weather train… Dudes stones are so big they kept him from being sucked up… the last 10 seconds are insane.

Unless we’re getting a freakish foot plus storm I’m ready for some other weather types to enjoy.  Had a long solid winter here, ready for the flip now. 

Brief window for some strong SW winds tomorrow afternoon.  Storms might not be that organized but should see a good blast of stronger winds when that front plows through.  HRRR at 1pm tomorrow.

NWS website lags posting the updates and only posts the hourly detail.  The temp map pulls directly from the metar feed.  With the mixed precip around this morning the airport likely requested pulling additional updates more frequent than hourly for icing concerns.  Speaking of the ASOS… it apparently has been damaged for an unknown period of time…  

Always the warmest… Always…

God damn unreal.  City was like the Wild West earlier.  High speed chase from foot of ferry up the west side cut over the 198 to 33 down Bailey though the east side cut through K town all the way into West Seneca back up through South Buffalo until dude finally wrecked on Fillmore.  Multiple suspects in car apparently fired hundreds of rounds while at high speeds out the window and ended up hitting 3 cops in pursuit.  Amazing no one was killed.

Perfect location right across the street.  Just not a fan of only 60-62k seat idea.  Will be interested to see what seats will be going for when it finally opens.

First time since 1989 they were down 4 goals and won. Just a crazy game, we outplayed Chicago badly the 2nd and 3rd period after a terrible first. This team is different then the last few years, such a character win.  

Stinks it took them this deep into the season to get some rhythm and chemistry flowing.  Lots of good young talent in the lurks really hope they can pull together a better start next season. It has been nice the games have been at least interesting to watch lately.  

Band kinda fell apart over me but had a nice burst for a bit.  

Sitting over the 290 corridor.  Who needs radar when our phones are tracking our speeds to show the traffic slow downs (in this case from the heavier snow). 

Weenie band setting up right over KBUF.

Here’s the jackpot zone.  Ripping there!  We’re getting jack here out of this.

Wow… incredible view.  Right through downtown New Orleans.

Lakes open for business.

One of the cranes was out tinkering with the boom today.  Maybe they will take advantage of the easterly winds tomorrow pushing the ice away from the boom to start removing it?

April 20th of last year

 

That was an interesting couple weeks of weather.  End of March had some good thunderstorms and a high wind event.  Early April we had a really interesting fog event then that heat wave.  Was going through my pictures and actually had the kids outside playing with the sprinkler on an 82degree early April day. Lake Erie got up to the mid 40s by mid April and then bam had the 5” of snow on 4/20.  Don’t really care if we’re in for miserable weather just give me something fun to observe.

I hope but seems extremely risky. We have little to no DB depth if Tre isn't 100%. Virtually assures we go DB at pick 25. WR is very deep this draft. Hoping we get Chandler Jones at a decent price. Von Miller would be great too. 

lol nice call!  I’m a bit surprised how fast they are dealing right now.  They know if there gonna win one it’s gonna be next year or never.  Love all these moves so far.  Stacked with all our draft picks and an extra 6th and 7th.  Can scout out some good rookie talent to fill our voids. Trust the Process!

Lake Erie also keeps us cool this time of year. =/

You can micro it down even more.  This was last Sunday when we had our first “nice” day.  15-20 degrees cooler on the lake vs a few miles inland.  Need to get a nice jump on the sunny days and above normal temps in April so we can swing right into summer weather by Memorial Day.  Just booked a cottage the 2nd week of July in Sherkston so I want Erie nice and toasty early this summer!  As much as I enjoy the snowy weather I’ve had my fill.  Solid B+ winter.  The lake effect season was rather tame for my area, but had some nice synoptic thumps to make up for it.  The staying power of the snow pack was incredible this season.  Think we still see another small overnight snowfall or two but feel like were done with the real artic cold after this weekend.   

Well this will be interesting… Sabres and Leafs are playing outdoors in Hamilton at 4pm today.  If that radar trend holds the start of the game should see some moderate to heavy snow possible.

That SW is looking rather impressive just to our west right now.  

Couple video clips… had a blast again tonight.  
 

Got my Seneca Street Snowfall at Night shoot in this year!  It was like the Jeb walk was talking back to me tonight… “He who follows nature is never out of his way”… That’s some heavy sh’t… on the side of a trash can none the less.  Finally upgraded my phone, pretty impressed with three night time pictures, this was middle of a park with no lights and still looks decent. 

!  

Having a few sillies tonight… The repeating occurrence of these meso bands hitting WNY in the 8pm-12am time frame this year has been incredible.  This is the 4th time now we’ve had a burst like this in the evening hours.  Been very conductive for my schedule as that’s my best time to get out of the house without answering a lot of questions…
