Unfortunately, that's because some numbskull will go 90 mph in it, crash, and then blame the state for "not taking care of the roads." So many rules, laws, and taxes are the result of self-centered people and others trying to control the dingbats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinksnow18 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 All models at one point or another show appreciable accumulation over the next ten days...i have a feeling BW is going to be awfully depressed for a month or two this spring... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t that have been said on any given day all winter long? I’m not trying to be a smart-ass but it seemed like the models consistently showed “wintry weather” being 4-10 days away all winter. Then it would disappear almost every time. Side note: I tracked snow cover at my house Jan 1 to Feb 29 and we were white 88.x% of the days, but never had an honest 6in on the ground. Seems very typical of recent winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Top 10 warmest winter on record for Buffalo (#Buffalo 9th warmest, #Rochester 18th warmest, and #Watertown 10th warmest) Outlook for meteorological Spring (March-April-May) favors above normal temperatures to continue for our region.

I’ll be up your way and skiing at Snow Ridge on Saturday. I’d love to see a couple fresh inches. It would feel like a miracle. They have had a little snow this week. The cam out of Brantingham shows 18” of snow remaining. I have no idea how that much stayed after this last week. Snow ridge is on the very eastern edge of the tug, so it’s gonna be tight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell ive switched to spring mode now. 2 weeks ago in the Hamilton region I would be looking at that map hoping it trends a bit further south to get us fully in the 6-8" range. Now I want it to trend north so im in the sloppy 1-3" range or nothing at all. It took 3 days to fully melt all the snow aside from parking lot piles, dont want another 8" which will waste another 3-4 days of warmer weather just to melt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Let’s get to summer and get rid of this virus. Talks about canceling international travel. Wife just got an email from her employer, a survey if you can work from home. (She already does). And also asking if you’re planning any travel outside of USA. We are to New Zealand next month.

Trip better not be canceled! I'm flying to Orlando end of month for a few days and Italy (Rome, Florence) for 2 weeks in late April. My employer already saying I'll be working from home for 2 weeks post italy trip (Maybe Orlando too). They've cancelled all international travel for work-related reasons. We have another worker in our group coming back from India...I now have to make plans to do a turnover of his work I've been covering by phone. And oh yeah, no insurance on any of my flights or reservations... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how many people have come in contact with someone with the virus. Look at the guy who died in New York City, he walked through Grand Central station before he knew he was infected. How many people might have contracted the virus from him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 5 hours ago, Thinksnow18 said: This is being to highly overblown. Sars had a bigger impact and so did H1N1. Disagree. COVID-19 is a scary virus. It's incredibly contagious compared to similar viruses and far more deadly. The flu virus typically has a mortality rate of .05 to .1%, COVID-19 is somewhere between 2-3%. Case in point, In one of the worst seasons (2018) for flu it killed 30 people in one week in Italy with 832,000 infected. Coronavirus just killed 41 individuals in a single day within the same population with only 3858 infection cases. That's an astounding statistic. Additionally, subsequent research of SAR's patients found that nearly all of the cases that advanced to pneumonia suffered PERMANENT lung damage. This same permanent damage is already being seen in recovered cases of COVID-19. The US medical system is nearly at full capacity on a normal day. Just think how long you typically wait at the ER. Now imagine thousands upon thousands of additional highly contagious people flooding the hospitals. It's going to be a nightmare. BuffaloWeather, I would be surprised if you can still make this New Zealand trip. Pulling for you though.. Let's compare this to H1N1 as you mentioned. It's apples and oranges, this thing is a killer. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It neeeeeeever ends. I can’t really get a grasp on tomorrow’s system. I think the Syracuse/ Tug area are getting downsloped from the Dacks. That and being on the NE side of best dynamics. Could be some surprises. It’s nothing big but someone might get a few inches in the hills. 12z NAM 3k had a stripe of 6”+ over the Tug but backed off on 18z 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
