So it snowed all day and amounted to .5"

RGEM drops a foot on me. It's lake effect so you can use kuch. That model is falling off now too. All we have is the Germans left.

6-8" over me tossed

We haven't exactly been killing it in Buffalo on SW flow. We've been far below average for 2 straight season too. We've had many terrible seasons the last decade including only 36" and 58" in back to back seasons from 2011-2013 and then again with 55" and 76" from 2015-2017. Our average was 78" for those 6 years. One could argue we've had it worst then Roc and Syr. https://www.weather.gov/buf/BuffaloSnow

Those are some insane stats for Muskegon.

Also, I forgot to factor in the X factor in Tughill moving to central NY. That is probably by far the most important factor statistically speaking.

Between 1990-2010 their average was 137.1". Even without global warming, statistically (unless reporting station moved) they are due for a regression.

Actually 1990-2000 was even more at 140.2" 1991-1992 166.9 1992-1993 192.1 1993-1994 163.8 1994-1995 66.9 1995-1996 170.9 1996-1997 131.1 1997-1998 134.7 1998-1999 98.3 1999-2000 85.8 2000-2001 191.9

SYR was a snowbelt for the 2000s averaging 134" a year. 2001-2002 59.4 2002-2003 153.2 2003-2004 181.3 2004-2005 136.2 2005-2006 124.6 2006-2007 140.2 2007-2008 109.1 2008-2009 149.6 2009-2010 106.2 2010-2011 179.4

Did SYR ever move their reporting station in the last 70 years?

Global warming leading to less arctic intrusions and less NW flow. It's a valid hypothesis TBH. The same can be said for all areas that rely on LES to get yearly averages.

SYR average from 1950-1980 was 110.2" 1960-1990 was 109.13" 1970-2000 was 121.3" 1980-2010 was 128.4" 1990-2020 was 123.8"

https://www.tsforecast.com/seasonalsnowfall.html Syracuse has been killing it the last 30 years. It seems the previous 40 the average was much less.

It won't matter as herd immunity is 70%. Between infections and vaccines that 20% won't matter.

My buddy in Austin is scared to leave his house. 3 consecutive snowstorms in last 7 days, crazy.

That's double digits over my place, tossed.

The western sides of the lakes have had more lake effect then the eastern sides have this year. I don't think I've ever seen such a thing. Wisconsin and Illinois got more lake effect then Michigan did.

Vermont and NH are above normal too. It's really just Buffalo/Roc/SYR and eastern Maine. I think Northern Michigan is well below normal too?@josh_4184

Another prime night skiing yesterday, drank too much though.

The korean model.
