Nice! I got mine there earlier this month. Have my second prick this Sunday. Really easy there, in and out. Arm hurt like a b* for 24 hours otherwise I was good to go!

That’s not good to see... They were 2 weeks ahead of the US on wave 1...

Got a few purple returns even popping up in that cell coming my way!

WOW! That came out of no where! Saw the line near Toronto earlier but looked like it was dying out and now look at it BOOM!

That was a long time...

Hold the phone! The record is under review! lol...

Made it to 70! Enjoying the last patch of snow!

I got mine this past Sunday at UB, the Pfizer one. My upper arm was really sore for almost exactly 24 hours then totally fine, that was it.

Already 55 at the 9am reading. I think we could make a run at 70 if we keep the down slope wind from the south instead of SW over that ice cube in the lake. Gonna spend a good chunk of the day outside enjoying this!

No. Just a random fire in the train yard under the Tift Street bridge. Had quite a few trucks working it. Burnt just over an acre. Surprised as that area is kinda swampy and still has snowy patches, wouldn’t think it could burn up so quick.

Guess we just jumped right into brush fire season...

Different zones have different snow thresholds that trigger the warning level based on snowfall in a period of time.

Along the shores of Lake Huron this evening...

Looks like they made out better north of the boarder with this one...

Just a bit of an overreaction with that warning in my opinion...

lol when the snow squall warning sets off everyone’s phone in the store at the same time... priceless...

mmmhmmm...

Would love to go for a ride on this boat one day when it’s out breaking ice.

Safest cut to make in the ice for divers. After the cut is made they actually need 2-3 guys to stand on it until it submerges and gets pulled away by the current under the ice. Not sure of the engineering aspect but I know they do cut the points to face a certain way which acts to create stress points that will break the ice up in a way that it is less likely to jam up. Beats the old days when they use to just drill a couple holes and load them up with TNT.

.HYDROLOGY... There`s a risk for ice jams on the Buffalo Creeks Sunday and Monday. The combination of warmer temperatures and some light rain may be enough to cause ice to break up on some of the Buffalo Creeks. Unlike earlier this week, the snowpack will be more dense (or ripe) for run-off heading into Sunday due to the warmer temperatures preceding it. Without significant rainfall, it typically takes about 300 thawing degree hours (TDH) in order for ice to start to break up on the headwaters of Buffalo Creek, Cazenovia Creek, and Cayuga Creek. At this time the latest forecast is for highs in the upper 40s which would keep TDH below this, however if it`s any warmer than ice break up and associated jams are possible. There is still a significant snow pack in place (2-4 inches in the headwaters), and ice on the creeks is thick. This also corresponds with MMEFS ensembles which show a risk for run- off with chance for action level rises on some creeks. If it warms enough for creeks to rise to action level, there would likely be ice break up and a risk for ice jams. Underwater team was out cutting the triangles in the ice along the Caz slants today. Ice was looking pretty thick... ~6”.

Wind event never came to be but enough for some breachin of the boom.

This is from the past LES storm. Notice where the model “thinks” there is ice. Bad data bad output.

Big difference...

Nice view of the lake today... That ice is gonna be on the move once the winds back SW and pick up 40-45mph this afternoon.

Agreed. Consistent snow and cold but no real brutal cold which has been nice. If I didn’t lose all my snowpack from the Christmas storms would have gone almost 2 straight months with a snowpack. I’m pretty well set with my winter fix. Few more fluffy clippers then let’s get to Spring. Itching to get back out in the yard!
