As we get into the busier fall/winter season please send me private message if you would like to join our discord. We have 28 members that joined and its pretty active daily. Lots of great weather discussion. We kind of decided we would do big storm threads here and day to day weather talk on the discord. Its much easier to post videos/pictures and links compared to this forum. We have a weather channel and a general discussion channel.
Current temperature at ALB Int'l is 99 degrees Fahrenheit. This tops the previous high temperature record of 98 for our area which has been the record since 1955! Poughkeepsie also hit a new record high temperature of 99 today from a previous record of 98 in 1944! This makes today the hottest day in our area since 2011!
There are quite a few good ones. December is usually WNY best month for lake effect as usually lake erie starts freezing the 2nd half of January in a "normal" winter. We live in a new normal where the lake doesn't really freeze anymore though. Obviously Ontario is good all winter.
I'd say the majority of our largest LES events occur in December. Just need another one of these for @TugHillMatt

10000% December is by far my favorite winter month. If I could lock in 4 weeks of below normal temps in December with warm lakes it would basically guarantee us a decent winter.
