Good to know there’s an Air BB up there. I’m just about ready to buy a 4Runner and will hopefully make a trek or two up there during ‘the weather’. 

Get ready and welcome aboard!

Thanks! This seems like a great group to talk weather with.

BUF NWS does great forecast discussions. Already love reading them!

Congrats! I look forward to your obs.

I also have a business idea for you. Think Airbnb but for wx weenies  

Ha! The next door neighbor (half mile down the road) has an Air B&B. I have always wanted to own a Bed and Breakfast.

The past couple weekends have been insane with all these city slickers coming up here. I am assured by locals things will quiet down..and then pick up during the winter. The weeks are soooo much quieter than the weekends.

The past couple days, the temperature has been awesome. Upper 60s/70 for a high. Went to the Redfield Old Homes Day Parade this evening (picture below). Can tell fall is on the way...hopefully for good after this hot spell this week.

Congrats THM! Like Buffalo Weather said yesterday having a poster in the heart of some of the heaviest snow bands off the great Lakes will be awesome for live updates!

Friend of mine just moved near Yellowstone this last week. Today she posted pics of snow on the ground and 34 degrees up in the higher elevations on instagram. Pretty early for snow in that location I would think.

Top analog so far for this upcoming winter is 76-77. Really early but weak/modoki Ninos result are the best winters in our region. Looking forward to the 3 posters that are smack dab in the middle of 3 snowbelts that we haven't had. Redfield, Altmar, and Chautauqua ridge. 

Hey,all! This is "blackrock" posting under my updated profile.

I am now officially living in my New home in Redfield!

Looking forward to sharing with you all from my new climate.

I am already enjoying watching the car thermometer drop about 10 degrees as we make trips from Pulaski or Syracuse to our home up here on the Tug.

Snow north of here, snow south of here, with rain here this weekend....gotta love it...not. Same stupid thing over and over.

Okay, maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration, haha. But regardless, I don't see how this winter can be graded any better than a C. From mid February right thru today (we'll say through March 31st cause nothing is on the horizon), not a single snowstorm. December started off mild and January was a write-off. Had it not been for some LES enhancement, this winter would have been worse than last winter snow wise, lol. It's perhaps more comparable to the likes of 2005-06. 

I just hope this winter is the last in this string of bad winters and we turn things around cause I've seen enough. 

Getting sort of tired of saying, "There's always next winter." 

Really, you should consider moving to the Muskoka region. Try and find a job in Huntsville, Bracebridge, or Gravenhurst. Lived there for 2 years, and winter there was WINTER!!!!!!

At this rate, maybe we'll see a snowstorm in mid-April that will melt 5 minutes after the sun hits it.......................

Last year was late..... first week of December I believe. 

That's what I thought. I think I recall you guys getting into the 60s a lot last winter as well.

I forget...when did you guys have your first lake effect event last year?

Very interesting, Ohweather!

A few other things I noticed from your maps:

1) There is often a Low Pressure located in Easter Canada/Quebec

2) There is often a warm front or stationary front in Montana and the Rockies states

3) There is often a low pressure system located in the Gulf coast area.

Very interesting how those commonly show up!
