This time period needs to be watched for a more potent system. Currently a little too far west with the track, but too far out to take anything seriously right now. EPS and GEFS have it.
Sizzlecuse being warmer than Buf makes me think the thermometer at BUF isn't broken after all. Maybe Buf/Syr are broken for the warm and Roc is broken for the cold. Something is definitely up with Roc therm. They are always cooler than everywhere else in NYS.
December Temps
BUF: +6.5
ROC: +4.4
WAT: +5.1
SYR: +7.3
BING: +5.7
Buf average Dec. temp: 38.1
Buffalos top 3 Dec temps
42.1 (2015)
38.1 (2021)
37.6 (1923)
Buffalo will finish with the 2nd warmest December on record this year and likely the 3rd warmest year on record with last year being #2. Only 2012 was warmer. So in the last 2 years we've had 2 of the top 3 warmest years on record.
