If people want to see snow, turn on NBC.  A couple of feet at Orchard Park.

Good snow game, haven't seen one in a while.

Having a winter where temps average even normal down here would have the general public feeling like it’s the coldest winter this century lol. There have been some absolute blowtorches here in recent years. 

I know, my new snowblower is rusting. Bought it two years ago, used it twice.

The stadium is somewhat NW of the city center and is located between Orchard Park and Blasdell. Radar showed some good bands hitting that area before the radar went down. 

HRRR has the band sinking south overnight. 

Somebody must have close to 4 feet by now if not over.

Sub 40° high for the last day of November here at home.

Same here, got up to 37, now 29, maybe some skim ice on the ponds tomorrow.

They’re fat everywhere this fall going into winter.  We’ll see but I tend to think they’re lying conspirators.

Not going with the fat squirrel indicator anymore?

This winter sucks. I have to be in here to say that so a certain central CT wolf doesn't bite my leg off.

I think he has rabies.

That looks great. I can’t believe I’ve never been to Quebec City, we are hopefully going next summer

I've always wanted to go too, especially when they have the winter carnival. Cold and snow, what more could you ask for.

Best skiing of the year is in March.   I love that winter month. 

When I could ski, I loved March skiing, I remember skiing in below zero weather in February, still was fun, just had to watch out for frostbite.

The feel may be different, I agree. But it’s the snow that matters.  March doesn’t average more snow than December because it feels differently. 

When it snows in early December, we have colder and hopefully snowier weather to look forward to, when it snows in March, we know it's going to melt soon and warm up.

Got a dusting tonight....first flakes. 

Same here, just took out the trash and have a light coating, first flakes.

Flakes flying here too but unless it coats the ground it's not the first snow.

Damn plow driver took out my mailbox/post. Guy was 2ft off the road pushing it back like it was midwinter.

My neighbors snowplow driver would push some of the snow from my neighbors driveway and push it ten feet onto my lawn, digging up my grass. Every spring I had to fix the lawn. After 2-3 years of that I put two huge rocks in that area near the road. He hit the rock one time and never pushed snow into my yard again. I asked the guy nicely twice and he didn't listen.

Wind picking up.

Take. Them. Down.

My white birch was like that in the 2011 Halloween storm, rested on the porch, had to cut it down.

It’s seems drier than normal thru about Dec 10 or so . There’s an outside chance of a very light event Wednesday nite next week 

You know how these things work, storms pop up out of nowhere, we have the cold, that's the first ingredient.

Can’t make any of those dates. Have fun drinking while Ray eats 6500 calories. 

He has to eat to keep his strength up, he has kids with another on the way, how do you think he pulled that off?

Good luck with any snow at all next week in SNE. Enjoy sun and 28-38 for highs . At least ponds will have ice I guess 

I'll get my skates sharpened.

Yeah not really a New England thing but this pattern looks amazing for the LES belt. The mountains of VT are prob gonna get a lot of leftovers too which will be good for the ski areas. You get those little vort maxes rotating around the ULL and they pick up the LES bands and they hit the west slopes if Berkshires and Greens. 

Eastern Maine and NS too the next two weeks.

Eastern Maine can have a nice pack in the next two weeks.

My favorite clipper of all time happened in DC some years ago where we just kept juicing on the models up through game time and had like 20° powder falling all day. The little clipper that did. I miss those. 

I remember one year we had a clipper diving south and stalled off of Long Island, you'd have to ask Will the storm, I'm sure he remembers.

i saw this meme the other day that was eye rollingly funny...    it was something like only in amerca do people trample over one another is a psychopathic rage of material hollowness a day after celebrating, in peace, a holiday to be Thankful for what they have.   ...although, some of the households in here ... you know, you wonder if they are a delicious pressure cooker socio-dynamic functionality state, where time outs spent with social media serve as a release valve... lol

That's why we have Festivus for the rest of us.

Looks like snow showers sweeping through Ct too.

The NAO is overrated. Yes storms tend to be more progressive in +NAO regimes, but what good is it if there is troughing out west and you are blocking in mild pacific air? You don’t need 36 hours of snow to get buried, a fast moving 12 hour storm in a cold regime can and has resulted in big snows. When I think of big east coast winter storms the first thing I think of is a Montana ridge, not Greenland blocking. Ultimately the pacific drives the bus.

Those quick hit 20 inchers were great, go to bed at 11 wake up to 20 inches, those storms were great but nothing wrong with a stalled low and it snows for 36 hours either.

I’ve driven home from St. Agatha back in March of 18….through a full blown blizzard, towing my two place trailer back to CT.   It ain’t fun..but I made it.  Four wheel drive, at barely 30 mph on 95, one lane barely visible at 12:00 pm, from Houlton to northern Massachusetts..a long scarey drive home. 

How long did that trip take?
