Road has caved.

Can't wait to slide down the mountain here in an hour or so. As you can see, it's snowing pretty good here.

Happy Thanksgiving. Ground has caved.

Dunkirk, NY is your spot.

41°F and miserable outside.

This is why I can go without the ocean. As much as I love the ocean, the only thing Beach Six doesn't have that the southern coast does is palm trees. Erie in August is spectacular. The lake is warm from the summer, the lake cools the coastline so while it's 85, 90°F in Millcreek Township, it's 84°F with a gentle breeze on the Isle. I love jumping waves, but I can satiate that at Waldameer just off the Isle. Great wave pool. Lake Erie is basically a glaciated swimming pool with an incredible sunset. And it's just up the road. Not a whole lot better.

There's another lighthouse a little ways down the Isle from there that still gives tours. Climbing a lighthouse is one of the coolest, most terrifying things. Lighthouse keepers were crazy people for doing that job, being up there once an hour, every hour, to keep the torch going.

It's mind-numbing how large this state is. Last summer I was mapping out a trip to Ohsweken on the Six Nations of Ontario for a trip to their race track. It's on the other side of the lake and because of that, it would take four hours, 43 minutes from here. That lead me to thinking: How far is Toronto? I've been to the Falls. Trip took three and a half hours. Add an extra hour and 20 minutes for Toronto. Four hours, 58 minutes. Philadelphia? Three hours, 41 minutes. New York? Four hours, eight minutes. Detroit? Five hours, 22 minutes. So from where my tuchus currently resides, I am only one hour, and 17 minutes further from the largest city in Canada than I am from the largest city in the state I live. Now imagine how hard it must be to be a forecaster at CTP knowing there's one layer of counties north and west of me that they are responsible for as well as counties at the Mason-Dixon Line.

Again, I want CTP to be more specific. I can walk half a mile up the road and be both north and south of 80.

You know how tempting that is? It takes me 15 minutes longer to get to Jamestown than Harrisburg.

So Hamburg would not be a great spot for this one? Poo.

Those pansies in the NFL relocate those games anymore. It'll be in Detroit by Saturday.

That's an all-time stupid move.

These models need to get Thursday sorted out, damnit lol.

Rained overnight. Cats came in through the bedroom window soaked. Ass a-holes.

Pick. Me. Up.

Awfully quiet on here today. It's a short week. Let's not pretend we're busy working. Everybody has already checked out and is mentally putting together a schematic diagram of their performance at the table on Thursday. Maybe some of you are stretching in preparation for a Turkey Bowl. No pencils are being pushed, no beans are being counted, what's with the silence? Stop that.

ALRIGHT, YOU SHITHEADS! IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS, SANTA TOLLERIS HAS A NEW PRESENT.

I have monumental respect for your knowledge being a local, but reading your posts at 12:30 while trying to comfort a farting toddler with a stomach ache out of one bloodshot eye and dealing with a slipped disc and trying to take in all the information is a fate worse than death.

Pick me up on the way

Hamburg is a Buffalo southtown right on the coast of Lake Erie. It's about 15 mins from Orchard Park and when Erie cranks the lake effect machine, Hamburg has a history of getting buried.

The other Hamburg. And no, not the other one in Germany.

NWS Buffalo sounding the alarm on major lake snows this week. I have Black Friday (THAT'S RACIST) off. My intention was to go to a doctor's appointment and then head to Toontown for some shopping. Maybe I'll see what kinda shops are in downtown Hamburg.
