ayuud11 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I hate the bitter cold, I love the intense heat. I go to the beach as many times as I can all summer. I love the feeling of having no chill when I get out of the water. I actually don't mind the bitter cold, it's this ****ing winds that will wear you apart, I drove through the outer harbor earlier and the snow banks were insane!

ayuud11 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 It's too bad they don't have a spotter up there at KART, it would have been nice to see how much snow they've received so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 No kidding. I was down in Niagara Falls and Buffalo on Wednesday 29th and the winds were something else. I was there on January 19th at Niagara Falls. The winds off the falls were crazy. It was 11 degrees with strong gusts. They had to close the observation deck for safety issues. The crazy part was the spray from the falls freezing my glasses to the point I was unable to see. Been an amazing year for cold around the country (at least the eastern 2/3's). The whole area up by a lot of you guys is pretty surreal compared to where I live. I would love to see a major LES event one day. My friends at OWLeS this winter saw more than their fair share. Areas of the Tug have to be over 200" this season. Watertown out to Fort Drum have been blasted this winter. Pictures up there still show 2-3' in places near Jefferson and Lewis counties. Truly amazing season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Now THAT'S a Blizzard! Great pics, thanks for posting them. I was living down south those years and only remember news stories reporting on it. Wasn't like today, with the proliferation of communication capabilities, so it didn't really sink in as to how bad it really was. Imagine the hyperventilating that would occur today, were this to happen again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cny rider Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 BGM has us dry for the Thursday storm. It's going to be close for those of us in eastern/central NY but I fear we are going to be left out of the fun again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENYsnow Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 BGM has us dry for the Thursday storm. It's going to be close for those of us in eastern/central NY but I fear we are going to be left out of the fun again. It's nice to have the EC and its ensembles on our side, but we'll have to monitor trends over the next 48 h. The strength and orientation of the kicker northern stream s/w will be huge, so we'll have to keep our eyes on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revracer800 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The lake effect machine has been in cranked up around here today... picked up about 6" of fluff and currently heavy snow. Saying 4-8" more through the night. Snow banks around the yard are getting pretty big from plowing. The snowmobiling is awesome around here right now. Another update... COMPLETE WHITEOUT. Getting hammered right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 picked up a surprise almost 5" overnight last night...and another 3.5" today. So far tonight 1" or so IMBY in no. Clay...up the road a bit in Phoenix i'd say closer to 3-4" so far tonight. Thurs/Fri looking more like an ENY hit. More to follow over next cpl days. I need to add up my snowfall for the season. No idea where I'm at, probably around 75-80". edit: just added it up...through my measurement this afternoon...95" so far this season. Doesn't seem like that much.

Revracer800 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Snowing heavily here again... it's been back and forth all evening with snow then let's up and kicks again again. Since about 6pm have picked up another 3-4" pure fluff but huge flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Joe Bastardi insisting on Twitter that GFS storm track for Wed/Thurs storm will come west 100-150 miles from where 00Z run shows...currently, per 00Z GFS, KBGM would get fringed. If he's right, a lot of us would get whacked pretty good. Here is the JMA (I know...) qpf output he tweeted...says its in line w/ EC and its ensembles...which I can't verify. GFS correcting west is pretty typical a lot of the time, although sometimes it's eastward bias tends to be the right idea, as I think it was this past weekend w/ the non-storm. Although this time, it appears to be moving towards the EC idea. edit: JB also just tweeted the UKMet output, below... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
