Big Turk Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Due to weak La Nina conditions in the third year...typically gives us warmer temps and less snowfall(although this doesn't mean a single day or stretch of time can't be cold and snowy, just usually reduces the odds). Hoping we get a winter similar to a few years ago where it was in the 40s and 50s through much of December and into January and everyone was sitting around wondering WTF was going on. Believe we ended the season with 37 inches of snow which is well, well below normal and didn't even have a single foot+ snow event that year. Long article breaking things down if anyone wants to read...also includes Europe forecast which is less important to this topic. https://www.severe-weather.eu/long-range-2/winter-2022-2023-seasonal-snowfall-predictions-more-snow-latest-forecast-united-states-canada-europe-fa/ Edited November 2, 2022 by Big Turk 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you claiming that weather doesn't have the ability to routinely negatively effect games for the Bills? I seem to remember a Patriot game last year where that was a kind of important factor...along with several others where it likely effected our offensive numbers. I guess the question is, How accurate are these sorts of long-range weather forecasts? My guess is that they're not worth the bandwidth they're written on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I see forecasts like that all the time, but I rarely see any follow-up to see how the forecast actually turned out. I would also assume that the accuracy of such forecasts varies considerably, depending which part of the world and what time of year you're talking about ...

Rico Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Nice weather Sunday night, and Josh struggled against the Packers. Maybe he plays better when it’s nasty outside, good thing the new stadium doesn’t have a dome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those forecasts are based on historical trends over long periods of time(like 100+ years) under the same type of La Nina conditions for places. I too spent a couple years at UCLA studying meteorology. These climatic forecasts are pretty damn accurate. Supposedly this might be the last La Nina event as wetter weather is expected in late March on the west coast. My concern for Buffalo this winter revolves more around the wind. Hopefully we don't see another event like last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Can be a mile or two makes a big difference. In 2014, we had 7 feet. At about 1.5 miles north at the county fire tower (thy)e county emergency HQ) they had only a few inches and at the airport (3 miles away) the ground was bare.

Wyobills89 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 It's 39,38,36 sun, mon, tue with 60% chance to snow on Monday here in Eastern Mt. I don't mind the snow it's the dang negatives with wind chill that gets me. If it stayed 20s and snowy but no wind I would love winters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I live in a warmer climate and really miss the snow and winter sports. If we are very lucky, there is good snow about 2 1/2 hours north of us and we can take the kids sledding (or we can ski). It's five hours of driving, round trip, or an overnight hotel. It's a lot of hassle for a couple of hours of sledding. Plus, the opportunities are few and far between. I loved being a kid in Buffalo and sledding, skiing and even strapping on the skates for some outdoor hockey every now and then. A couple of good friends had small rinks in their backyards. Snowball fights were also fun. We did have to drive to get to skiing, but could walk to sledding or ice skating. My kids are jealous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) the whole thing about WNY being so scary and awful weather is overblown, IMO True winter here lasts from late December to early March. 3 (ish) months and change of true "winter" and even late December and early March have warmer spells where it's 50 degrees out and sunny. Anyone who owns a snowmobile in WNY understand this well. 3-4 weeks TOPS when you can use the sled most years. and that's a few days here, a week there, in total for the whole winter. If you're lucky. Last winter it was like 2 weeks in late January/early February. It's 60 degrees and sunny outside today, which is not too crazy for early November here. A December Bills game is likely to be 42 degrees and grey skies. Yes, it COULD very well blizzard anytime now, but it is MORE likely to be in the 40's or 50's with gloomy skies and that signature WNY November/early December fogginess that lasts all day long. November and early December here are a "wear a comfy hoodie, drink beer and have a BBQ" kind of vibe.
