Numerous all time records are possible this upcoming week along with the daily high temperature records... *Warmest Temp Ever 99* 8/27/1948 Could be close on Sunday... * Warmest July Temp Ever 97* 7/6/1988 Possible to be broken Sunday. * Longest streak of consecutive days 90*+ 7 days 7/5-7/10/1988 Current forcast has 7 straight 90*+ days...

Well the snow spotters at ERI were just quoted saying they are not measuring snow by the generally accepted guidelines of 4 measurements every 6 hours... measuring in 3 hour intervals during the day when compression is highest then at an 8 hour interval overnight when compression is less. Also they are summing 5 daily measurements instead of the accepted 4. I believe this should make the data unofficial! .

Something is certainly not right! What are these sudden precip spikes during overcast conditions? How does 15.6" of snow only add 2" to the snow depth?

Good luck if you come up chasing this year. Feel free to hit me up if you do I can give you better specifics for a good hunt around Buffalo.

Keep your eyes on the upstate blog and wait for us all to start losing our $hit in the T minus 5 day range. If your traveling you got to be ready to drop everything and go. We're usually pretty accurate hitting these events but sometimes they do dud out, the big ones sometimes are a surprise. If your hitting the Buffalo area and looking for lodging I recommend the Hamburg area close to I 90. Your right in the middle of it usually and worst case only a 20-30 minute drive to the northern and southern band areas. Ive never chased off Ontario but heard it's quite an experience. Anywhere along 81 from Oswego to Watertown is gold. But you better be prepared for some extreme snow.
