One more pic from the overnight sunrise hike.

Well my winter fix has been satisfied. Definitely my favorite trip ever to the Adirondacks. 30-50" of snow on our hikes up to the peaks. Winds at the top of the one peak had to be over 80 mph. By far the strongest winds I have ever experienced in my life, nothing comes even close. We did a sunrise hike the first day. There was a high peak called big slide. We were the only ones on the entire trail. On the way down you can slide all the way down, literally one of the most fun things I've ever done in my life. https://imgur.com/a/BThJPhr

I've had two lake effect events this year, the lowest in my lifetime here in WNY. Just no cold air aside from Nov/Early Dec. Still not doing terrible due to synoptic, but definitely an odd year.

Do solar mins lead to less PV disruptions?

Yeah the intra month was toasty. Adding to it yesterday and today. Right now Buffalo is +11.5 and likely +12-13 with todays high for the month.

To be fair the last month has averaged +10 departures around here in the "heart" of winter. That is almost as rare as Feb 2015. The positive departure anomalies have greatly increased in frequency. It's called global warming. It was 67 degrees the other day here with sunshine, once I get that first taste of spring it's tough to go back to the cold.

This thread kind of died. Picked up 7.2" from todays lake effect event. Had some snowfall rates above 2" per Few pics From NYS thruway

Lock it in?

I didn't think 65" in 24 hours was possible here. Detroit can definitely break 100" in a year given their location. Just need the right setup.

I think this is a great year for the midwest and western Great Lakes. We should squeeze out an above average year here too based on Neutral/Weak Enso conditions which are our best winter snow years.

The Peruvian glaciers at this location 14000 feet where I am standing, looking up to over 19,000 are melting extremely quickly. https://earthsky.org/earth/disappearing-peruvian-glaciers

I'm back from exploring Peru, a magical place in which the elevation kills you. Also contracted a parasite that shut me down for 2 days down there. Otherwise a fantastic trip! Decided against going to rainbow mountain due to advice on here! Video: https://imgur.com/BUYpueS

Reed Timmer does this as well for a living. Pretty much my dream job of all time, nothing else would come close a side from a professional hockey player and even then it would be close.

I'm from New York and thought Sandy was lame. So overrated.

He also got a show on television and is likely paid considerably for it. He's living the dream I wish I had. No one should feel sorry from him, he usually reemerges within a week following a chase on here. He's a veteran in chasing Canes all over the world. Some of those Philippians islands facing 200+ mph would have me worried much more.

My uncle just bought a house back in Buffalo and they are officially snowbirds. They have 2 houses near Delray Beach a little bit south of West Palm. Keeping an eye on this one, as they will have to fly back and board up if the Euro is correct. Pretty much a direct hit as their house is on the beach.

Looks like some really strong gusts here.

Some crazy videos coming out of Hong Kong from it’s second landfall.

Ohio, your lake effect posts are the best on this forum. Always appreciate your insight. Good luck at your new location!

Looks like you guys were right in Eries snowfall accumulations being incorrect. The NWS is tossing the 24 hour record and the December snowfall record and keeping them what they were. Interesting read. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/monitoring-content/extremes/scec/reports/20180723-Pennsylvania-Snowfall.pdf
