TugHillMatt Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Welp, my stint here on the Tug is looking brief. Just got told by my boss I am laid off indefinitely...and not looking good. Financial stress is a huge issue here. Maybe I will get to experience a good LES band before I leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh, sorry to hear that. File for UI benefits today, they're relatively generous in NY. And don't be reluctant to file for SNAP benefits, Medicaid, etc. There are many other useful programs in this state to use when bad luck hits you. It's a huge upside of living in NYS, as opposed to places like the southeast, where you get punished for misfortune. Also... I don't know your line of work, but jobs in Watertown/Fort Drum and Syracuse both should be in driving distance for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Sorry tug. If you want to stay in the state look up civil service jobs. A bunch of my friends are corrections officers. 25 years and done. Full benefits/pension/lots of vacation. The starting pay is around $45k and moved up to 70-75. They work 2 days a week too, I was thinking of switching over lol. There are quite a few state, federal, and county jobs via civil service exams that have great pay and benefits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her wedding was here, but a number of her friends from back home attended. Ag and dairy are big, along with paper products. One of the people at our table taught high school there and her husband does shorthaul driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Shoot Matt. Sorry. Hopefully everything works out. It seems, that unless you are in the tourism support industry or public services, the North Country is a tough place to earn. We used to joke that we all needed to buy some beat ass cabin up there and just share it. Good luck. You’ve been a fun addition to the forum.

I feel bad, as I feel like I have been whining all winter...which I have been. Lol Wife and I just talked. She said if we stay in NY we will live in the Southern part of the state. She wants to live in Virginia. Beautiful state, but too little winter for me. Maybe we will go back to Michigan...argh, too much to think about.

wolfie09 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Pretty much all she wrote with this one.... Nws now has kfzy up to mid 30s tonight and rain.. Wednesday, a blustery day is in store with scattered to numerous snow showers along with a continued biting wind still gusting into the 40-50 mph. This will produce some blowing snow conditions, with blowing and drifting snow east of Lake Ontario. Accumulations will be fairly manageable for this time period, but the blowing snow may result continued issues surrounding transportation. With slow and steady cold air advection, temperatures won`t change much from the morning`s lows. This will result in most areas remaining at or below freezing. During the afternoon, a lake effect band should be taking shape over Lake Ontario with a weak upstream connection off of the slushy Lake Erie. This should slowly move east toward the entrance to the St Lawrence river in the afternoon and possibly move into Watertown toward the end of the day. Wednesday night, the main feature of interest will be on the mesoscale with a lake band slowly moving south across the Eastern Lake Ontario region. It should end up ESE over Oswego County, but synoptic moisture will be moving east away from the region with a corresponding lowering of the boundary layer capping inversion, the event may not have lasting intensity to carry it through the night. Will extend the winter storm warning through Wednesday night for Oswego as the synoptic event transitions to lake effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
