    Updated April 22nd, cool start into 1st week of May. Artic high pressure will help dislodge polar air southward.

    Not a good trend for anyone who want a long lasting warmth. The warm air is sitting at north pole. 

    Cool May means busy hurricane season. High chance east coast will get hit by major hurricane.

    What's the connection?

     

    Spring Snowstorm Obs. 4/18-4/19

    Our power came back on this afternoon after 2.5 days without.

    We have a Honda portable generator that I ran in the evening to power the furnace to warm the house up, provide water, and chill the refrigerator.

    It was still damn cold in the house when I got up at 0500 and restarted it.

     

    This was a devastating storm for Otsego County and adjacent areas.  Lots of infrastructure damage.  Even sadder are the fires burning down homes related to improper generator and other equipment misuse.

    I was hoping one of Levi or Portillo would sign. It's not a good sign as Portillo will be a FA after next season. Levi we have 2 years left still. Levi is a much better goalie We will make a trade/FA signing this offseason to hopefully solve or goalie issue. We have loads of picks and cap space to make it happen.

    I can't see why a young goalie wouldn't be jumping at the chance to come to Buffalo.

    It's an up and coming team and if you put in a solid year in the minors you are probably walking straight into an NHL starting job.

    They really laid an egg tonight against Tampa Bay.  Let's hope it's out of their system for the Toronto game.  I'd hate to see Power embarrassed on "home" ice in his first NHL game.

    Well played MXZ.  Here's my point and click for the weekend which is utterly craptacular:

    Tonight
    A chance of rain showers before 5am, then a chance of rain and snow showers. Increasing clouds, with a low around 34. Light south wind. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. 
    Saturday
    Rain and snow, becoming all rain after 11am. Some thunder is also possible. High near 45. Calm wind becoming west 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. 
    Saturday Night
    Rain showers likely before 10pm, then a chance of rain and snow showers between 10pm and midnight, then a slight chance of snow showers after midnight. Some thunder is also possible. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 30. West wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. 
    Sunday
    A chance of snow showers before 1pm, then a chance of rain and snow showers between 1pm and 2pm, then a chance of rain showers after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 40. West wind 7 to 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Little or no snow accumulation expected. 
    Sunday Night
    A chance of rain and snow showers before 8pm, then a slight chance of snow showers between 8pm and 2am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 29. West wind 3 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

    Yeah, we knew about 10 games into the season and I'm not exaggerating.  This team is a dumpster fire, even with these last few weeks of garbage time wins I'm not sold there is any real change on the horizon.  

    I'd say give them a chance.

    This is a very different team than the one that took to the ice last fall.

    I've been a hockey fan for decades.  The Sabres of the last 3 years were unwatchable for me they were so bad. I couldn't get through a game because the lack of skill and more importantly the lack of effort was repulsive.

    The talent level now is rising rapidly and the effort is there. So is the coaching. These guys are young and hungry and want to win.

    If UPL is any good in goal next year, or they can add a good veteran goalie, they could be competing for a playoff spot this time next year.
