Upstate/Eastern New York
DeltaT13 replied to BuffaloWeather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
You enjoy cold rain events with nuisance snow and nasty flash freezes afterwards? GTFO, no one likes this horrible weather. Utterly useless for nearly everything. But hey, at least someone is happy about this nonsense I guess. -

There must be something wrong with the models as they show two low pressure centers going south of us before the next 26 consecutive rain storms. That can't be right!? -

I agree with this so much. Imagine how exciting it was when you woke up and literally had no clue if a blizzard was going to hit or it would be a sunny day. Whether a warm sunny day would evolve into a terrifying severe outbreak or just some afternoon garden variety storms. I mean it sounds dangerous, but also wildly exciting. We know the minute snow will start and the minute it will end. It's pretty damn boring to be honest. I remember watching the weather channel for hours in the early 90's just praying I could catch a glimpse of the radar (and they were pretty crappy radars at that). Now it's right in my pocket. So much has happened in 30 years, its mind boggling. -

Sorry to hear that man. I've always wondered where the heck people find jobs up on the Tug, I guess this somewhat answer the question. There aren't many available. -

You did alright up there. I havent meaured anything over 2 inches down near U of R. Of course the airport ASOS will report 5 inches somehow. -

We are into full on bead blast mode here. I have big windows in my office and its just PINGERS nonstop right now. -

I'm just giving you shit because of your sometimes bipolar reactions to these storms. We should figure out how many times you have used the word joke this season. That's never a good sign either. -

In two hours you'll be calling this the biggest joke ever and ranting and raving. hahaha -

Completely changed over to freezing rain and sleet in ROC. Got about 1.5 inches of snow before the changeover took place. -

I think the models in general have been phenomenal as of late. You can pretty much lock a storm or setup 10 days out now (obviously lacking some fine details). The last 3 or 4 "events" we have had were more or less locked 10 to even 14 days out. They are actually taking the fun out of weather for me. There are no surprises anymore.... -

Great flake quality here with heavy snow but the end is already in sight. You can see it on radar as the warmth surges North. All eyes on these thicknesses today. -

Only 2 storms with 8 or more inches in my backyard. 11/15/18 and 1/19/19. Definitely a slow season. And now the endless cutters. I was actually looking up flights out west to tahoe or Washington today. I need to salvage this snowboarding season. -

But for reference, that looks like an amazing hit from someone in my position. I think you get an easy foot out of that, probably more. -

And the NAM is one of the better runs for ROC. Gives us more of the glancing blow in regards to rain, the scenario Tim mentioned. Overall its Just such a sketchy storm track and transfer. Lots of ways for it to go wrong and few to go right -

Pretty fascinating event in Hawaii today with the first snow in recorded history observed on Maui. I just started looking at model runs and they are impressive to say the least. I forget how ridiculous storms are in the pacific. A seemingly endless supply of huge explosive lows strengthening to 950mb, just one after another! The storm that hit hawaii is interesting. Two sfc lows phase and cutoff taking a chunk of very cold air with them. The 540 line shows us a few times which is wild. The storm also just sits there for days. Can only imagine the rains in the mountains. I've been to hawaii and its no joke on a regular day.... 191mph ridge line winds 60 foot waves Snow at 6300 feet. Great stuff! -

I think ROC will go above freezing sometime around mid afternoon tomorrow and stay there until 6am Wednesday. Not even sure how much precip we will get with downsloping and dry slotting but It's a swing and a miss for my backyard. And if we do get precip for those 15 hours above freezing, thats called a rainstorm. Remember 3 weeks ago when we saw all these rainstorms on the horizon and people assured me it wouldnt happen? Well, it happened, and it keeps happening. It's an ugly pattern and its locked in. -

Yup, this is a just a big nasty rainstorm for KROC, no way to get around this one. Then it rains again, and again, and again, and again in the coming weeks. Just a bad pattern for upstate. Other places are having the best winter of their lives. That's how the weather goes. -

Roc is certainly a real close call on this one. Pounding rain or the heaviest wettest snow ever. I remember a track like this about 5 years ago where we were supposed to flip rain but it never happened. Certainly don't feel all that optimistic in my location. -

As a wind lover, this wind event has over performed big time. Wind is absolutely roaring still. Coming up on 19 straight hours of gusts 40+ I'm loving it! -

Salvaged a couple really decent days at whiteface. Today was complete mashed potato snow with crazy visibility issues at times but it all added to the experience. Warm temps and steeps runs. I also managed to somehow get on the whiteface Facebook page today. I had no idea this picture was taken. Haha! -

Leaving Sunday at 5am. Hoping to ride 4 hours at Whiteface on Sunday afternoon. Then we stay in Lake Placid until Thursday morning. Thursday we drive to Stowe/smugglers notch and stay in that area until Sunday. Plans are in flux. Hoping the high peaks of vermont can stay all snow with the follow up system. -

Geez man, that's awful. Definitely puts our minor grievances in perspective. We'll still have fun, just won't crush the slopes like I have envisioned. Enjoy Vermont! I'll post some pics when I can. -

Yeah, some hints at redemption for the second half of the week but it's close call still. The fact that I have to cancel hotel reservations at specific times in order to get refunds will make the next few days of weather watching a bit stressful. At this point I think I'm just shit canning the Vermont half of the trip. Cut my losses and save vacation and money. -

Southern Erie I can definitely understand. Chautauqua and Cataragus though....?? -

I can't believe how long they are letting some of these winter storm warnings run. Seems like East of Erie is pretty much in the clear now. Also, what does jebwalk mean? So confused on that one.
