Yes, Good luck and safe travels.. Hope you all enjoy the snow too..
I;m sick of it already and haven't had a flake on my lawn

8" to much for my likening . Send me some clear black ice :)

HT I actually walked on a shelf for about 5 feet before it broke so it is coming. Yea who does know, but I think this one has us pegged. Not as much as up north, but it is a coming.

Glad I don't have to run up in this mess just to clean off the roof.

Don't remember ever thinking they were blowing smoke.
 
Wasn't trying to argue but you seemed to poo poo there dire predictions.
This time they were wrong in your area.
Just trying to point out why they do it.
Would anyone want a couple trout bums in a chevy vega to be heading into something like that fir no more reason than to catch a fish.
 
Just pointing out the real danger involved with lake effect and that your area can be brutal just like off of Erie.

The wind missed you this time dime but this could have been your commute.
 
Hard to be perfect when guessing the exact track of a storm.
5 miles away they had inches and 20 barely a ground covering.
 
Can you really blame them for trying to let people know it very possibly might be life threatening?

 
Looks like this guy had some real luck........ ice fishing. 
 
 
Sorry 

If anyone else in the world got it wrong as often as a weather guy they would be fired.

Weather has been the most talked about topic since before doin it was doin it!!! And yes rt, I would either be fired, or to blame for explosions, flooding, death, serious injury or mere thousands to possible millions of dollars in damage if I did my job wrong :)

Which is why you carry insurance, and no one gets to sue the weather guy!

Just checked the official snow fall totals for NY state this past week. Redfield ranked in the middle with 34 inches. Don't know the level of the reservoir but I do know the ground was rather drenched for about 4 days before the freeze up ...

They believe the town of cheektowaga or surrounding areas may break the state record for most snow in 24 hours with 65 inches. Watertown held it with 49 inches... Although town of montague was shot down quite a few years ago with z measurement of 77 inches which would of been a national record... The buffalo storm doesn't even come close to breaking the total snow fall record from 1 event which red field holds at 144 inches... Parish received 100 inches from that one as well. I remember digging out my camp that year (2007) for two days straight with a front load tractor bucket. It was a heavily compacted 5-6 foot by the time we got to it (2 days after the event) with a foot of powder on top and it snowed the entire two days. Don't know for sure, but I don't believe any deaths from that one.

Me too!

Full to the brim?

Only saw through the woods from a distance from the south side.Had planned on it but more or less took a joy ride for scenery. Don't think its full but there's a good amount of snow and I'm sure twice as much to the north of it. North sandy and fish creek are already going vertical on the charts... North branch salmon river looks like its slowly starting. May take another ride today to check out the spill gates and north side...

I agree with fish in the system settling... But hot fish are still to come in to and through december.. Small windows to catch them while they're hot though...

HT,I hope the ice stays away until Jan. as I'll be in Ohio and Pa looking for some Steel.As I write this I'm sitting in the daughters house looking at the flow gauges to see if I have a chance of finding fishable water tomorrow in the balmy temps.Yesterday everything was locked in ice and today everything is very high,but I'm going to try it tomorrow somewhere on a Pa trib,chances are slim but I'm going unless it pours tonight then it'll be flood city.
