Syrmax

Agree with that 100%

KBUF usually on top of the wind events. Surprising this time. Maybe they're all passed out incapacitated from Corona virus?

I see KBUF has W 30 G 41 mph at this hour. A touch higher than KSYR...

Pretty much every winter storm since Matt invaded my formerly snowy corner of the world. EKpaIadX0AINwAj.mp4

I think there should be a standing Blizzard Warning. Think of the children.

Not enough snow? Too much?

That's the spirit! Bad timing with snow this a.m. Drive into 'Cuse will be scurvy this morning. Not much new has fallen yet but doesn't take much to foul up traffic.

A crisis hotline will be available and staffed here 24/7...

We don't use that kind of language around here. Repent.

As long as south edge of the main band sits about a mile north of Freak's place I'd say Mission Accomplished.

I'm in!

There will be 6 of us there. 3 of us will be snowshoeing. I give it 50/50 we even get to where we are going. I don't know exactly where we are planning on going, I'm just along for the LOLs.

If they are basing that map and the WSW solely on LES...no way I'd buy that.

I'd sell that. Divide by 3.

It's going to be 75 Miles west...done.

We have the Mets AAA team here now. So if I haven't got my fill of aggravation on tv, I can head down to the park and watch their future players buggering things up. Actually, they haven't been bad. Fortunately, or not, I follow English and German football (soccer) so the winter is never bereft of drama. Heja BVB!

Metsfan is a bold screen name. My first Mets game was July 30, 1969 as a wee kid. They lost a DH to the Houston Astros, 16-3 and 11-5 in the nightcap. Which was outrageous back then. The Stros hit not 1 but 2 Grand Slams in the 11 run 9th inning of game 1. Must have been stealing signs back then too. The second game featured Gil Hodges walking slowly from the dugout to LF to pull Cleon Jones for lack of effort in the middle of a 10 run inning. Who knew they would become the Miracle Mets after that day? I naturally became a Mets fan for life after this display of Metsian ineptitude. The struggle is real.

I ended with a vaguely disappointing 7-3/4" of snow yesterday. I know this sounds grotesque but it was looking good for a run at a foot or more. But the band wobbled and then weakened. Which is typical of WNW flow events. My area was near the jackpot, about 5-10 miles to my NW, up near Fulton, closer to the lake, had about 10-11".

Was lurking in this thread and others as things have quieted down for now. I am still scarred from having spent most of my first 38 years along the I-95 corridor (VA, NJ, LI, CT). Living downwind of the Lake Ontario (or Erie) snow machine the past 15 years has been mostly a dream. Lake effect (even though the best is usually just to my north) is usually a decent Plan B when the synoptic Plan A fails. This winter looks like one of the epic fails down along the coast. But I think you all will get thrown a bone or two before this pig is done. Maybe even a bone with meat on it.

How far from Niantic River waterfront are you? Trying to confirm that a friend's sandbagging me in a friendly wager for Niantic this storm. My old stomping grounds.

S Fork of LI is already over freezing and just RN, CC is up to 36 and will probably rise another 10...RUC looks good to me which takes slp over BID and CC and slows it up there...HV and ALB look good here, IMO.

Exactly right. Way more demand & much higher pay. I actually thought about a met degree at one point many yrs ago but everyone I talked to said go into engineering (or finance). They weren't wrong and likely even moreso today. Probably more private sector met opportunities exist today than 20-30 yrs ago but the engineering demand is much greater as the US continues to produce increasing volumes of WalMart greeters w/ hs diplomas.
