Me too, man. Good luck.

I'll be alright, thanks guys. It's my wife who deserves credit for putting up with me. It helps so much with my moodiness, I think she's more ready for me to pass it than I am.

Anyway, back on track. Hot as fuck today before our cool front tomorrow. Heat index of 107.

It's sunny!

So weird, it was 70 degrees on Sunday, then 4 days of 35 cm (a foot!) of snow and then on Sunday it'll be 70 again.

Fall is definitely coming. Temps are in the low 60s with some wind. It's outright chilly right now.

Have you tried Midol to help your moodiness. Worked wonders or a former GF.

That was actually referenced many times in helping to mask it.

Nice and brisk for Florida this weekend. It got so cold here that my car told me that my tire pressure was low!

Instead of global warming..... if they had preached global cooling I would be terrified right now

61° and sunny when I got up this morning. About to leave work and it's 23° and snowing.

It's -15 here if it makes you feel any better.

Was 80 here this weekend, but it's going to be cooling down into the high 60s by the weekend :-(

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Tue Nov 11, 2014 12:58 pm

60 degrees and sunny today.

30 degrees tomorrow. Snow on the weekend.

Was going to bitch about the cold here, but then I heard about what's going on in Buffalo:

http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/ ... h-20141118

Three feet on the ground and heavy snow for another 24-36 hours. Predictions of seven feet in total.

Here's what a lake effect storm looks like just before it hits.

Post by **Sabo** » Tue Nov 18, 2014 12:12 pm

I drove from Albany to Cleveland last Saturday, and as you approached Buffalo on I-90, you could see all the lake effect clouds in the distance. It kind of looked like Mordor from a distance.

I had my first direct experience with lake-effect snow last year on a business trip. Indy to Chicago, left at 530AM knowing I would need some extra time. I finally crossed the state line on I-80/90 at 2:45 in the afternoon. I sat, and I mean parked, on the on-ramp to 80/90 for at least 3hours and 30 minutes. From there it was a steady move up a car length, sit for 3 minutes for the 17 minutes it took to get to the state line and a bit past. Beyond that was the nicest weather I had seen in weeks. I've never seen it snow that hard and accumulate that quickly. I was very lucky I had stopped 20 miles before the interchange for gas and a 32 ouncer of gatorade which ended up being used as a urinal.

It flatout frightened me. I thought I was going to have to sleep in my truck if things didn't improve.

Hilarious - almost spit the coffee onto the screen.

The updated forecast for Western New York is HEAVY snow until late tomorrow night. Or maybe into Thursday!

One normal day and then temps in the high 40s with rain for the weekend. Flash floods ahoy!

My father has already called to see if I want his tickets for the Bills-Jets game this Sunday. No thanks...

I'm 15 miles north of this, we've got an inch and a half on the ground. They'll get over 5 feet in parts of the lake effect band. Sabres-Sharks is still on, though. I'll be at the game Sunday.

The drastic differential in snowfall is what amazed me about lake effect snow. Numerous time my Mom called me worried about massive snow storms, and we wouldn't get a flake. News outside of greater Buffalo just reported "blizzard in Buffalo..." When I was in school, we had a storm dump 36 inches in 24 hours. I drove off campus, and just 1 mile away there was only 12 inches, a couple miles further, 1 inch.

Sometimes it's hard to explain what lake-effect storms are all about. That video sums it up nicely.

MaxWebster · Post by **MaxWebster** » Wed Nov 19, 2014 1:03 am

agreed - that pic is amazing but it's not quite accurate to say that's before it hits - that IS the storm hitting. My parents live in Snyder/Amherst and as of some point this afternoon they'd had about 3". My buddy a few miles south was looking at something over 50" and counting.

right on, Sabo: the time-lapse videos today are the best i've ever seen in trying to explain this.

I know it's hard for people who haven't experienced it to understand. My high school years we lived just east of the Lake Michigan lake effect belt. You'd have situations where a few miles away they'd have 18 inches of snow and we'd have nothing. This is one of the many reasons I didn't attend Western Michigan.

It's CMU-WMU hate week, gotta get that in. But seriously though, true story.

anybody planning on traveling in the northeast on wednesday?

these are just model runs, but regardless, it will be shitty up here. (probably mostly rain.)

Yup. Shit.

This is a potential pain in the ass. Was planning on leaving NJ mid-afternoon Wednesday and heading south down 95. Waiting until tomorrow to decide if we really need to change our plans.

I'm due to pick up two cadets at West Point mid-day Wednesday, and deliver them to New Hampshire. My car has summer tires, and does not like ice/snow a bit.

Isn't it still illegal to transport people across state lines for immoral purposes?
