That's because Oct/Nov/Dec will lower that number substantially. I doubt we finish above 2012 with that low of a difference already. April/May brought down the average quite a bit. We should finish in the top 5 warmest though.

From people on the trails this week nearly every high peak has had some accumulating snow on it. Microspikes needed.

Through 9 months this year we are at a departure of +3.16 month spread out over all 9 months, or +28.5 total on the year. Has to be close to warmest year on record? (2012) Right now we are at an average temp of 53.98 for the year. 2012 is ranked #1 and finished at 52.1

Looks like another above normal month incoming?

Trump was on oxygen yesterday. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/live-updates/trumpcoronavirus/?id=73402267

Enough to need oxygen, definitely not minor symptoms. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/live-updates/trumpcoronavirus/?id=73402267

He was in such denial of covid and now hes sick. Now most of the white house staff are wearing masks. The scientists are now telling us what is coming due to climate change and no one is listening. The global effects of climate change are going to make covid look like a joke. This country needs to learn to trust the experts. These people spend their entire lives researching this stuff, obviously there will be bumps along the way but they have the most up to date accurate information we can get.

There are quite a few services that are still not open due to covid here. Sporting events, movie theatres, and the biggest one that has many connective industries are concerts. Not to mention foreclosure law firms and many courts due to the suspension of evictions. My wifes entire law firm with 200 employees in 5 states is about to shut down. She was there for 8 years and had to find another job. I still say open everything up, wear a mask, and social distance whereever possible. If everyone in this country used common sense, we would have this virus under control rather quickly. And it all starts at the top. Hopefully trump getting covid helps everyone realize the importance of following the science. He was in such denial of covid and now hes sick. The scientists are now telling us what is coming due to climate change and no one is listening. The global effects of climate change are going to make covid look like a joke.

Trump hasn't tweeted in almost 24 hours, he must be pretty sick.

NEW: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals says it provided "a single 8 gram dose of REGN-COV2," an investigational Covid-19 therapy, in response to a "compassionate use" request from the president’s physicians - @CNBC

Uh oh "Via pool report, Trump is going to Walter Reed. Two sources familiar with the plan say he's expected to undergo tests."

snow on whiteface

Yeah, my one buddy who got it said day 3-8 are the worst symptoms. We will know quickly how severe Trumps case of covid is.

Covid is going to be around for a nearly decade. It's not going to magically disppear.

You just know him and Melania are going to have mild symptoms and come back saying covid is no big deal. Just like the "flu".

He made fun of Biden for wearing a very large mask within 200 feet of anyone and now he gets it. Karma lol. I'm just worried he and his wife have mild symptoms and comes back saying covid isn't a big deal. Or this is all fake so he doesn't have to debate again?

...A STRONG THUNDERSTORM WILL AFFECT SOUTHWESTERN ERIE COUNTY... At 748 PM EDT, a strong thunderstorm was located over Angola on the Lake, or 13 miles southwest of Hamburg, moving east at 25 mph. Winds in excess of 30 mph and half inch hail are possible with this storm.

Very good synoptic year, below average lake effect year for us. Slightly above average for tug. Toronto had a great year. Insane cell about to move over my house. Is that thing rotating? @DeltaT13 https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=BUF-N0Q-0-6#

The top analog for a winter based on QBO/NINO/Solar/etc....is 2007-2008. I'd take that winter pretty quickly. The tug region did much better than WNY did.

https://kamala.cod.edu/ny/latest.nous41.KBUF.html 2.67" in West Seneca. 24 hour totals.

2007-2008 Buf airport winds stayed at 200/210...keeping temps in 30s...while city and north saw 250 winds. A new intense band formed ahead of the approaching trof and was perhaps enhanced by this additional wind boundary and brought several intense cells right up over the Buffalo Airport and on to western Genesee County. Over an inch of QPF fell in the form of very heavy graupel...which amounted to 2-3 inches in this narrow area.

Hail is from severe weather, sleet is from winter weather. I know we had graupel in 2007 in October in lake effect rain band and KBUF counted it as winter precip.

Graupel counts as winter precip correct? If so, just got the first trace of the season here.

I did the Gothics loop. Doing all 46 high peaks up there, at 19/46 so far. This is from someone else in the dacks from a 46er page I follow. I went on Monday which was terrible weather, but Fri-Sunday were perfect conditions.

The adirondacks last weekend.
