  1. How much of an impact does the solar cycle have on actual weather here? 2013-2015 were the best back to back winters in my lifetime here and in the middle of a peak solar cycle.
  2. I prefer Ninas here too. SE ridge and big blocking leads to the massive LES events we get here.
  3. Agree but for every 1 colder than normal month we get 3-4 warmer than average.
  4. Good bet that almost every month is warmer than average moving forward. I went back to look at the last 50 months at KBUF and only 11 out of 50 were below normal with 3 of them -0.1. You have over an 80% chance of guessing right if you guessed every month to be above normal moving forward.
  5. New York set the record for most tornados in a year today with one going right through downtown Buffalo.
  6. Such a fun week. That week alone made winter an A+. https://www.weather.gov/buf/lesEventArchive?season=2001-2002&event=B
  7. BUF: 1940s: 47.9F 1950s: 48.6F 1960s: 47.1F 1970s: 47.5F 1980s: 48.1F 1990s: 48.7F 2000s: 48.6F 2010s: 49.4F 2020s: 51.2F (so far)
  8. Thats because the site location changed in 1940 for Buffalo from right along the water to the Buffalo airport. All data that predates 1940 cannot be used.
  9. How many winters have been below normal temps wise at Boston since 2000? Dec-Feb
  10. Impossible to get dry winters in lake effect regions. If the lakes don't freeze which is commonplace now a days. I've definitely noticed less LES events due to AGW but the events have been pretty strong. 2022-23 winter we had an 80"+ event in November and the famous Buffalo Blizzard where 60" fell with hurricane force wind gusts. And then last winter had the big January LES event with 82" in 5 days.
  11. Crazy tornadic outbreak across NYS today. Here is a video I did of the damage from a few tornadoes around my area.
  12. Do we get cold winters anymore? I mean when was the last negative departure for a Dec-Feb? 2013-2014 I think here for Buf.
  13. Is blocking really tied to solar cycles? That sounds insane to me. How much data is there to prove that true?
  14. Just got to my spot on Lake Ontario, not a cloud in the sky
  15. I would deal with 12 hours of traffic to experience totality again. Nothing compares to it. Not even 99.9%. I've traveled and hiked all over the world and I was completely blown away. Already making plans for Spain in 2026
  16. I'll be heading for Sandusky, checking satellite tomorrow morning and adjusting for final location.
  17. Have 2 friends chasing this, they're both south of Columbus. Had a few hours of clearing already.
  18. ensembles looking pretty good for New York for eclipse.
  19. We do, we have a number of posters from there. Check your Pms!
  20. We all migrated over to discord. Much better platform than here. We have around 100 members from Great lakes/Ontario/New York on there. The discord is as active as new englands sub-forum here.
  21. Syracuse moved their recording location similar to Buffalo. They moved it to a far more snowy location 10 miles north of the city. Any data pre 1940 shouldn't be used for Buffalo, and any data pre 1949 shouldn't be used for Syracuse. Prior to 1949, official Syracuse weather reports including snowfall were recorded in downtown Syracuse. https://www.localsyr.com/weather/historic-lack-of-snowfall-in-syracuse-this-winter/
  22. That data is super sketchy in 20s/30s. Not valid imo
