Yeah but either way its much easier to be homeless in summer then in winter. I'd love to be a beach bum some day in Hawaii vs trying to survive a northern US winter.

12Z NAM further south with band

Some nice LES coming off michigan

Good point. I don't think the new variants are nearly as deadly or require hospitalizations nearly as much. Might be too soon to say that but from what we've seen so far a valid hypothesis.

That's because warm weather doesn't cause nearly the issues that cold weather and snow do, especially across the south. 8 million people were without power and 12 million people have to boil water, those are some insane stats. That is not counting the amount of deaths and injuries from car accidents. You cannot honestly compare 90 and sunny to 20 and blizzard conditions. Almost everyone has AC in their house and car now a days and pools in their backyards.

Totals 1.3" total here Snow depth

https://www.weather.gov/nerfc/snow NWS pretty high with totals 8-12 here

Colder air in the wake of the trough will start to move across the region late this afternoon and particularly tonight. This will allow for at least a moderate lake response on a west to northwest flow. While it will certainly be cold enough for lake induced instability...there remains uncertainty as to the steering flow... and for Lake Erie the amount of open water. Accumulations of at least 3-5 inches will be found southeast of both lakes tonight... with potentially several more inches possible in the lee of an nearly ice free Lk Ontario. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... Lake effect snows with some accumulations ESE of both lakes on Saturday. Lake snows weaken Saturday night with synoptic moisture stripping away and the influence from the incoming sfc ridge tracking across the lower Ohio Valley.

12" over my house. No way we see that.

Just booked a trip to south Florida in middle of March, so plan on a big storm during that timeframe.

No matter how this winter went, this is extremely impressive

Wonder if they put up Advs for southern Erie? RGEM pretty consistent

My maps don't cover March really they are for rest of February.

Where are the kuch maps???

Interesting stats. Definitely a good year for snow depth. Almost 2 months straight here. Buffalo and Rochester's climate record is now 151 years, and half these years feature at least 1 day reaching the mid 50s by this time of year. In 2021, we have not had any extreme temperatures yet with the maximum temperature for Buffalo and Rochester only 44°F and 43°F respectively. There is an end to this current cold stretch in sight, with above freezing maximum temperatures much of next week and above normal warmth favored by the end of the month. Normal highs this time of year are in the mid 30s for Buffalo and Rochester.

Here you go Dave, 12-18" NE of ROC

Buffalo is -5 for temps in February, making it the coldest month in years. We are 7.3" below normal for snowfall Snowfall to date: 65.7 Average: 73.0

Pattern change coming?

New Thread

Everyone from the midwest/south/northeast gets hit by storm after storm, and we here in Upstate are the odd man out. After that incredible back to back synoptic storm bust, we move on to a lake enhanced/LES event. Watches up. Carry on... GSB Cities The 2020 - 2021 Snow Season Normal Average to Date This Time Last Season Normal Seasons Average All Time Season Snowfall Record Binghamton 84.5 57.1 58.5 83.4 135.2 inches (2016 - 2017) Buffalo 65.4 72.4 56.5 94.7 199.4 inches (1976 - 1977) Syracuse 57.0 92.4 64.0 123.8 192.1 inches (1992 - 1993) Rochester 55.1 70.5 77.4 99.5 161.7 inches (1959 - 1960) Albany 50.2 42.4 41.2 60.2 112.5 inches (1970 - 1971)

And this was supposed to be round 2 of our back to back storms. I'm making a new thread, can't bare that thread title any longer.

Just south of Little rock got 30" in the last week. crazy

It appears our snow has been stolen by Arkansas

I take that back RGEM drops 14" here.
