Honestly I'm enjoying the summer and the warmer fall (outdoor weather well into October).
My ideal is 6 months of 25 and snow, followed by 6 months of 85 and sun. No in between.
What I can't stand is the s___ like April and November when it's 50 degrees and drizzly.
Syracuse at nearly half of their usual is nuts. Albany well below half. Binghamton down almost 40% too. This should at least let ENY cash in pretty well.
Only BUF-ROC close to average.
Honestly I'm less concerned about South to North than I am that Euro is starting to consistently show a nothingburger for BUF-ROC, like it's latching onto the idea that the dying primary is going peter out faster than the others think.
I would absolutely lock in a 6-8" event here.
These thread-the-needle types usually underperform and -- gun to my head -- I'd be more apt to predict 3" than 6" here.
Probably 2-3" of fluff on top of the 6" between last night and this morning on top of the 4" or so during the day yesterday -- I'd say we're around 12" total.
Slow and steady. No significant complaints.
Yeah this is kind of what I'm saying. The jackpot zone isn't going to be BUF-SYR (though the whole region will cash in pretty well). It's going to be just north of the mix line.
The heaviest snow is going to be just next to the taint. So difficult to forecast that zone.
BUF/ROC riding the slow and steady train, but someone in the southern Finger Lakes is going to hit the jackpot.
When my son woke up at 3:30 this morning, driveway was still wet. Woke up at 7 am and trees coated, maybe 0.5-1" on the ground by now in SE Monroe County and steadily snowing at work in Rochester.
Hope: 36 hours of moderate snow in the center of the conveyer belt, 18"
Concern: 36 hours of flurries punctuated by occasional moderate bursts on the northern periphery, 4"
