BuffaloBill Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 The survey looked at the 50 largest US cities as measured by population. Buffalo does not make the top 50 largest metro areas in the U.S. Based on the last census Buffalo was at #69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 And rightly so... BFLO is not that bad if you can live with the snow. WNY has a very tempered climate"... Not hot but cool in the summer, not terribly cold in the winter. Actually where else don't you need an air conditoner and not terribly high heating bills compared to cities like Chicago (brutal in summer an brutal in winter)? Same with DET... Notice Detroit is number 9... I think that is even too high... They shouldn't even be in the Top 10, IMO. Both cities are very tempered with regard to their location. Snow is not bad if handled properly... Actually, it is quite pretty!! Buffalo has the sunniest and driest summers of any major city in the Northeast, but still has enough rain to keep vegetation green and lush.[29] Summers are marked by plentiful sunshine and moderate humidity and temperature. It receives, on average, over 65% of possible sunshine in June, July and August. Obscured by the notoriety of Buffalo's winter snow is the fact that Buffalo benefits from other lake effects such as the cooling southwest breezes off Lake Erie in summer that gently temper the warmest days. As a result, the Buffalo station of the National Weather Service has never recorded an official temperature of 100 °F (37.8 °C) or more.[30] Rainfall is moderate but typically occurs at night. The stabilizing effect of Lake Erie continues to inhibit thunderstorms and enhance sunshine in the immediate Buffalo area through most of July. August usually has more showers and is hotter and more humid as the warmer lake loses its temperature-stabilizing influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linksfiend Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Right now Cleveland is #1. Our weather is worse than Cleveland. So if we were in the top 50, we would probably be #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Sorry. Buffalo winter (and spring) weather sucks. There's no sugar-coating it. Cold, windy and lots of snow. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Sorry. Buffalo winter (and spring) weather sucks. There's no sugar-coating it. Cold, windy and lots of snow. PTR Ya, you can sugar coat it. When compared to those other ten... I honestly believe BFLO does NOT rank in the top ten for winter. Maybe snow... But snow isn't bad, it is actually fun! Again... Except for some of the southern cities on the list... BFLO is not nearly as cold as it gets in Minny, Chi, Mil... "Worst" is purely subjective... That is why I hate stuff like this... One man's hell is another man's paradise! EDIT: BFLO is no worse weatherwise than DET, and that ranks 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR I hated spring back home ... hands down worst season of the year ... everything turns to mud. Now spring in East Tennessee (used to live there) absolutely glorious.

Chef Jim Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Does Buffalo still qualify as a city? For those of you bagging on spring, I loved spring. Sure early spring sucked with all the mud but after that I thought it was the best season. But then again I've been gone a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nostyle126 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 The survey looked at the 50 largest US cities as measured by population. Buffalo does not make the top 50 largest metro areas in the U.S. Based on the last census Buffalo was at #69. Buffalo is the 69th largest CITY (city limits) with a population of approx. 270k, but the 47th largest metropolitan area with a population of approx. 1.12 million. This study went based on city population, so you're right, Buffalo didn't even qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Anchorage Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I noticed Fairbanks wasn't on the list either. Fairbanks has no snow. Moisture in the air doesn't exist in a climate similar to Pluto's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nostyle126 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Fairbanks has no snow. Moisture in the air doesn't exist in a climate similar to Pluto's. That, and it's the 67th largest city, so it too was not eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
