It only takes 1 storm to make a winter for the big cities and lake effect country. The rest of the area is screwed this upcoming winter. 15/16 was my lowest snowfall total year since I've been measuring here in Hamburg for the last 13. Right around 80"

Im off tomorrow and thinking of making the journey to chase this, worth it you thinking or wait for tonights outlook before leaving?

Thinking about heading out early next week out your guys way to chase some Nados. Anyone else going out?

Everyone here left for a discord server we run. Would you be interested in joining? Around 100 members. DM me.

No where to put the snow, Lake Erie is frozen so should slow down accumulations

At 118" here, no warmup in sight. Should be an easy 150"+ winter! Just an incredible stretch here in lake effect country.

Some places across the tug are nearing 200" on the year already. Places south of here are 100"+

Been another great winter around the lakes. December was freezing and snowy. Over 60" already, let’s keep it rolling.

Put out today

You're about to see a Buffalo band, hope you're still awake for this.

Wind is always the least worry in a landfalling hurricane. Storm surge and flooding are top concerns here.

So sorry to hear about your dad John. He was an incredible part of this community. RIP.

Last winter was a historic one for the lakes. Expect this one to be similar with a more active synoptic track. It can't get much worse than last winter for snowstorms. I don't think we had one winter storm watch, despite the chilly temps.

You can't use Buffalos data before 1940 due to it being literally on the lake. It isn't a good representative of weather across our area, way too marine influenced. If Detroits recording station moved, that data shouldn't be used either. Not really up for debate, moving a recording station eliminates its accuracy and consistency.

The snowbelts off Erie and Ontario did very well. Had 175" in the southtowns of Buffalo. Crazy the difference between my home to airport. It's about a 20 minute drive from Hamburg to Buffalo airport and 100" difference in snow totals.
