Could be a great opportunity for Chevy to offer him a replacement truck, or cover repairs, or something like that.  That video really was a legitimate advertisement for them. He said the right things to make you want to route for him (job interview, taking care of it). 
 

As an upstate NY vehicle owner, I can’t help but be jealous of the condition of his +/-20yr old truck.  Trucks of that era are now badly rusted out up here.  My 2015 pickup already has the blisters on the box side. I had it undercoated (oil style, not paint style) when I bought it in 2020, but it was too late for those notorious areas.

The video says a north Texas Chevy dealer is giving him a brand new 2022 Silverado. I’m always a bit surprised when they say the average age of a vehicle in this country is something like 11 years. That means there’s a lot older than 11 years. Around here any vehicle more than 10 years old shows it’s age and I think there are more newer vehicles.

Went out with the guys after hockey and drunk, what is f1?

I assume it’s Formula 1 racing. 

Sizzlecuse didn’t quite make it to 70, 68 was the high. It was a beautiful day to get out for a short bike ride although it felt a good 10-15 degrees colder near Oneida Lake. The lake is still ice covered although the ice is pretty rotten. I think a good wind will break it up and a west wind will pile it up near Sylvan Beach.

Anybody want to bet that this gets the mayor off his butt to lift the workplace ban on unvaccinated employees. Imagine the outcry if these players can’t play home games for the Yankees. I’m not sure who this applies to on the Mets but I’m sure it’s some big names there too.

Ikf is a very good defensive player and just a "stop Gap" till the Yankees top prospect volpe gets called up ..

 

The 26-year-old won the 2020 Rawlings American League Gold Glove Award at third base, along with the Rangers 2020 Player of the Year Award, as voted on by the Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America. He transitioned to shortstop in 2021 and posted a .972 fielding percentage (19E/669TC) at the position, leading Major League shortstops in total chances (669), assists (436) and double plays turned (98). Kiner-Falefa also ranked tied for third among MLB shortstops with 10 defensive runs saved, per The Fielding Bible, trailing only Houston’s Carlos Correa (20) and Minnesota’s Andrelton Simmons (15). Additionally, he has played 73 career Major League games at catcher, posting a .996 fielding percentage in 586.0 innings behind the plate with just 2E and 8 passed balls.

Good info.

Now its in the timeframe almost of watching the forecast for the wedding. I get married the 26th, she's hoping for 40s/50s and dry weather. For me 55-60F and sunny or a 30F and a snowstorm haha. 40F and rain would be the worst. At least the snow could make for some nice photos 

Congratulations!  Remember, rain on your wedding day is supposed to be good luck. I don’t know what snow means, lol. 

The wind has really picked up here and is blowing around the 3.5 inches I got. The sky looks dark to the west even though there’s nothing nearby on the radar.

Here's a picture just to show where I 'm at (definitely more than 3 inches):

 

Nice. I’m not questioning your measurement only wondering out loud if I’m in some kind of snow hole.

I just cleared off my wife's car (she has to work today...tax firm) and there was about 5 inches on it already. Ironically, it was one of the the fluffiest and easiest cleans of the winter. In March. Only a very tiny sliver on the bottom seemed wetter. The transition from wet snow to REAL snow must have happened quite quickly with the front. Beautiful out there!

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.

I know this is a SYR-focused forecast, but 1-3" for the Thruway corridor from basically Del Lago on west is much lower than anyone else.

I was surprised at how conservative his forecast is. I wonder sometimes if politics has any influence. Saturday is the big St. Patrick’s parade in Syracuse and I wonder if he’s keeping amounts down for now so not to scare people away. If he needs to increase them tomorrow he can. 

Jim Teske’s snowfall forecast.

Sizzle coming back next week

I’ve had it with this winter. I’m ready for warmer weather like last Sunday so I can get out on my bike. When we get burned time and time again how many times can you get kicked before you holler “no mas”?  Even if we got a foot of snow on Saturday the forecast for Monday is 50 so it’s going to melt anyways.

Let's smoke cirrus that would be nice. Seriously I do love snow but i am all but snowed out. 

Not a popular point of view around here.

You can see some enhancement along the shore, Yes we get enhancement too lol

Where’s Tim?

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.

I want snow on the ground as far into April as I can get it. Bring on the March Blizzards and Darth Bands.  

Just remember the sun always wins out.

Nice, solid covering with huge, wet flakes coming down hard and accumulating. Temp is hovering around freezing. The overcast is actually quite low and thick, so solar radiation isn't affecting things too much. It looks like some nicer bands about to move through as well. Might actually make it to an inch or two by this evening.

Congrats to the Southern Tier and Eastern NY crew.

Most surfaces except for pavements are covered now. The temperature on my weather station has dropped to just above freezing and as the sun begins to set insolation is playing less of a role. 

Snowing at least moderately now but not sticking. Damn lake plain.

I love looking at webcams.  Surprised to see no snow in Syracuse. 

Too warm to accumulate. Snow is picking up here, temperature is 36.

You can spare a few miles. Lol

There’s plenty for everyone, CNY can jackpot for once this winter. Your winter has been pretty good.  I haven’t had a double digit daily snowfall this winter.

Pretty good look. We need a tick west though. 

No, you don’t!

Morch!  72F.  Winter is over.

Morch should be placed right up there with the band that shall not be named.

Just got back from my first bike ride of the year.  Had to weave around puddles from the melting snow.  KSYR is reporting 23C (74 F) with winds gusting to 29 knots.

Hamilton Ontario gusting over 60 mph in the last hour.  QEW skyway bridge there is closed due to a tractor trailer being blown over blocking all lanes.  

Time for heavy rescue 401.
