Yeah this December has been crazy. Here are the highs at BUF the last week
50, 67, 45, 48, 47, 58, 64, and I think it was in the 50s at midnight today. Average high is in the upper 30s. Potential for top 5 warmest December.
I’m also a lake effort guy so the upcoming pattern has virtually no chance at a good les event. It’s not a terrible synoptic pattern, not the best though. Somehow Buffalo will go 40+ many days with this pattern.
You guys ready for an insane stat? The low today at Buffalo was 57 degrees. The average high for Buffalo today is 37 degrees.
64/57 was the high low today. The normal for the day is 37/26
MIND BLOWING stats
