CNY_WX

I don’t want to jinx things and I know it’s just a matter of time until I change over but right now I’m still mainly icy snow. Correlation coefficient shows the mix just to my south and at least temporarily stalling. 

Armory Square in downtown Syracuse.

Ironically, the temperature in the Syracuse area is COLDER than pretty much everywhere else in Western and Central New York. Even colder than the Tug. 18 to 19 degrees across Syracuse.

Sitting at 20 here.

OT but goodnight Stealers. Condolences to @LakeEffectKing...

There’s been some bad games in the playoffs so far but this is the worst. Steelers defense looks like it want to go home. 

Pretty snowy on the Cornell campus in Ithaca.

We really should start a list of banned words and phrases from this subforum. 

Isn’t Jamestown the only observation station in the southwest part of the state. 

I’ve officially got a dusting, anything from here on is icing on the cake.

You can see layers of sleet moving through that area with the correlation coefficient 

No reports of sleet at KPIT yet.

Was originally at late 80s toro with a 7.5 HP motor handed down by my wife’s grandfather. When the original motor threw a rod I swapped it for a 13hp harbor freight and added the battery. I changed the pulley for the auger so it spins a little faster, and recently added rubber paddles to the second stage. The lid is Ss, I had to add that to keep snow out of the carb and governor linkage. Added the autobots logo while I was at it. The distance that it can throw snow is comical. Maybe I’ll finally get some video with this storm tomorrow. 

Holy crap and I thought mine was a monster. You can probably throw snow over your neighbor’s house. I thought that was stainless steel. My father worked as a sheet metal cutter mostly cutting stainless steel for dairy storage tanks. Way back in the day his employer let them make things out of stainless scraps. He made things from ash trays to a Christmas tree stand, a desk for my younger sister and probably the only stainless steel Christmas manger in the world.  Those modifications probably added 50 lbs to your blower.

If anyone wants tips for snowblower upgrades

What did you do to it and what kind of metal did you use?

I have a relatively new monster Toro snowblower that I haven’t had much opportunity to use in the 2 years I’ve had it. I might get the chance to see how it handles sleet after this storm.

Beautiful sky as the sun sets before the storm.

A deck of what looks like alto cumulus moved in in the last hour. You can see the thicker clouds to the south. Wolfie’s moon, the full wolf moon, is tonight. 

Just started snowing at Harrisburg, it’s moving north.

We should have a CNY storm contest...predict the time of first pingers.  

Bonus is time and duration of dryslot.

Verification at KSYR: first pingers 4:45 AM. Dryslot 6:13 AM to 9:53 AM. What’s the prize?

Really hopeful this thing amps up and makes a NW jog to put me in some snows.  Very close to nothing right now.

Are you trying to steal my snow, lol.  You’re almost to Detroit!
