As I typed, it's like an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other.

Buffalowx on one shoulder saying, "Don't do it! Stay away!" and Blue Moon on the other saying, "Type! type! You know you waaaaant to!"

I gave that place up for Lent.

Good thing the only things that have bloomed are the crocuses and early Spring flowers. Mighty cold air on the way!

Just when the ice had melted off the pool cover. Sigh.  Fortunately there will be little snowfall accumulation here.

What the heck happened? I slept in and I see my rain gauge is near an inch of rain?

Officially checked out of all things winter, unless a big dog comes along.

Pretty much with you.  I've been hitting golf balls indoors over the winter and looking forward to getting out on thr links. Of course a bunch of spring yardwork awaits...

The Sizzle is on. Bit of time left to hit the big 7-0 but running out of time.  Sadly, Dansville is reporting 72, outsizzling the Sizzlecuse.

SYR 67

BUF 66

ROC 64

BGM 54! (Sad)

ALB 55

Can KSYR hit 70?

The Sizzle will not be denied!  

Now we wait for the unwelcome late March and April snows. Unless they're big. We always like that.

Yesterday made me realize how grey and gloomy central NY can be.

We went skiing at Plattekill.  The clouds lifted out by 11.  It was a beautiful bluebird day.  

The skiing was great too.

We got home to central Otsego county.  My dark blue Subaru parked in a completely open area was still snow covered, as was our back walkway with direct southern sun exposure.

Both had the inch or so that had fallen the night before.

It's pretty obvious there was little or no sun here yesterday.

If I can't have snow I want sun!

Kind of agree on the snow or sun, at least by late winter or spring. But have to say, in the dead of winter, cold cloudy days with some lake effect has its appeal. Living near the coast there is usually clearing right after a storm. Kind of nice to have "wintry" weather expanded after a storm, or get dessert snow.  Though by mid March...the clouds are not appreciated.

It's not spring yet, models are showing winter is making epic comeback on last week of March into early April for Midwest and NE. We will see at least 1 more snowstorm. 

Soon, many snows come.

Picked up 1.8" last night and this am. Total of 77.6" for the season which leaves me 0.7" short of last season.  We will probably get that last inch sometime in the next month or so but won't really matter. 

Just now, TugHillMatt said:

Not to mention that the 18z runs, as has been the case with most lake effect this winter, have the snow WAAAAY south of us over the Finger Lakes and Binghamton. Again. I was safe to stick with the Syracuse 6 I called for the other day. 6.5 inches here. 

4" here is my final answer. We are still just short of last year by about an inch and a half. Pathetic.

Forecasted for tonight. Might be able to scoot over 100 if we get a decent band

That's bunko. Divide by 2 at least.

Glad they came to their senses.  Would have been idiotic to lose games over what they were fighting about.  I'm more of a casual baseball fan but I'm happy for the true diehards.

I'm glad MLB is using a pitch clock. Also should enforce batters staying in the box between pitches.  This BS where they step out to adjust every pitch and then the pitchers being slow is intolerable. Baseball is long enough without the human rain days and drama queens. If they can't play fast, quit the game.

We did have a forecast of up to 10" here about a day or so ago.  Sitting on maybe 4"...and the snow has lightened up. Maybe the "backside" lake enhanced snow will inch us closer but right now....kind of feels like a bust, here. Although model trends showed this.

I don’t know how you always get a couple inches more than me even though you’re only 15 miles west of me?  I just measured 3.2 inches here and snowing lightly. The back edge is rapidly approaching from the west. 

We are probably near 4" here.  Getting to 6 may be a struggle...

7 minutes ago, TugHillMatt said:

About the same here.

We are but mere hours away from reaching last season's paltry show totals and upgrading this winter from a D- to a D!

Ratio is near 10:1, I measured 3.3" /0.30" liquid.

About 3" here.  Precip has barely made it into Eastern NY it looks, slow moving front i guess.  Now that the sun is up, guessing the accum is about over since rates aren't impressive.  KALY and KBGM forecasts could be way overdone at this point with just a weak wave riding up thr front.

So you're going with the low end of the BGM Forecast probabilities?  Smart. 

Rain and wet snow (white rain) has started here in the Sizzlecuse area. Expecting 4" from the "storm" (looks more like a frontal passage)  and maybe another 2" in lake effect or hybrid on the backside, for our standard 6" here.

Looks to me like the Syracuse area is going to get what I call the Syracuse Synoptic Six. 6 inches. Seems to be the maximum we can ever get from synoptic storms these days. So-so ending to an amazingly frustrating winter.

So you're going with the low end of the BGM Forecast probabilities?  Smart. 

BTW I need 5.8" to reach last year's seasonal Snowfall. Currently at 72.5", somehow.   So 6" gets me over the line.  Need another 10" after that to get to 2 winter's ago paltry totals (88").

Whoa, storm uncancel?  Or are we laughing at the old news hype?

Christ. This is gonna be the bust of the winter at this rate. 

For you maybe.  For CNY, add it to a long list and we'll figure out which was the biggest bust later...
