The Great Lakes help stabilize things in the summer where we get more sunshine than anywhere in the Northeast but hurt us in the winter. Rochester is 2nd at 93% cloud cover and Cleveland 3rd at 91% cloud cover in winter... Turk, I grew up on South Park Ave by RT 179, in the border of Hamburg and Blasdell which means southtowns and tons of snow. I went to St. Francis in Athol Springs brother right by Hoaks. I didn’t move to FL until going to grad school at USF in Tampa. I remember the grey days, and it was most of them in the winter and spring months. Delivering pizzas from the original Blasdell Pizza, working as a paper boy for the BN when I was 12. It doesn’t detract from the fact that the area I grew up at this miserable time of year. It was also about that Bills fans are everywhere in the Tampa area as we have thousands of transplants, and the weather is literally heaven right now. Atlanta can get miserable at this time of year. Just sayin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep an eye on local Buffalo newscasts for better info. Still too far out anyway. Better hope that you don’t see Jim Cantore at the airport this weekend!

Since1981 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Mid January can be miserable frigid but not this time. Looks like stable weather pattern that keeps things reasonable. Glad it won’t be a travesty weather game. Edited January 11, 2023 by Since1981 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 The lake is at 34 and ice has formed, so the Lake Effect machine has shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) 13 days and counting since the last time the sun has shown in Buffalo... 2 hours ago, Wacka said: The lake is at 34 and ice has formed, so the Lake Effect machine has shut down. Not quite. It isn't completely frozen over and you can get surprisingly heavy lake effect snows even with just very small amounts of open water. Actually based on the latest data, it's well over 90% still open water...probably close to 95%, so it could very well not freeze completely this year.

Wacka Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Yes but it being just above freezing won't give us the 50-77 inch snowfalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 FWIW guys, Patrick Hammer is always on the Extra Point Show at 11:30 on Fridays. He’ll give you Hammer Time if you want to listen. I like the guy. I haven’t lived in Buffalo since 1991, but I remember the volatile weather in the Southtowns growing up in Hamburg close to Blasdell.

HardyBoy Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) I went to high school and college in Rochester. Crazy how much you don't really notice the lack of sun in high school (at least I didn't) compared to when you're on college. High school you're basically inside all day and then it's dark. College you have a bunch of free time and can just stare at how cloudy it is. Something about the structure of the days made it very different. Maybe it's that in high school there was always someone to talk to either in class or I'm the hallway or whatever. College you are alone a lot more even if you have a lot of friends. Also, if you go right by the lakes it tends to be a lot more sunny iirc. We used to go to Webster Park in Rochester a lot on Sunday mornings before Bills games to go sledding or walk on the trails/by the lake and it was always sunny and I don't think it was because we'd only go on sunny days. The warm air comes off the lake and it takes a few miles for it to cool down and turn into clouds. Anyway, I lived in Boston after college and it was pretty cloudy there too in the winter. Then I moved to Ft Lauderdale and if it was cloudy for two days straight I'd start getting depressed because that's how much sun you get there. Live in Raleigh now and it's pretty much the same...so much sunnier in the winter! Edited January 13, 2023 by HardyBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Sounds like we are in a for a calm, fairly "nice" winter day, with weather really not playing a role at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
