Winter Weather 23/24

[Andy_ROC]

It's hard to hold onto snow when you have so many dang warm winter days and it rains instead of snows because storms pass to the west. A real tell of where our winters are headed is to look at 50degree+ winter days. If someone say's this is just part of a cycle then what evidence do you have? Certainly if it's part of a cycle then a period of the wave should be approximately known.

If this trend continues then NE winters are on deaths doorstep. I'd like to be very wrong about this but I can't ignore the data.

Yup. Northern to southern latitudes sure makes a difference. On the bright side we're picking up 2 mins a day of daylight now. By the solstice the north has more than 1.5 hours more daylight than Florida in the summer

Probably already put this out but my pet peeve with clock changes is the uneven # of days on the spring forward side. For arguments sake we turn the clocks back aprox 7 weeks before the shortest day of the year, usually 12/21. So why don't we change back 7 weeks after the shortest day? That would but us around Groundhogs Day, perfect timing. Or at least why not the second Sunday in Feb rather than March? Just my 2 cents, at least it did get changed to March from April, and many moons ago it used to be the end of April? That really made no sense at all. Rant over, result of a really crappy so called winter I guess.

Past Snow Seasons Champs

This new section is probably one of the coolest on the site for the fact that it compares all the Golden Snowball cities dating back to the 1940 - 41 season; Remember the snow contest didn't start until the late 70's by meteorologists in Rochester; That's what I think is pretty cool is we get to...

Could Syracuse break a record for least snow in a winter??

SYRACUSE, NY (WSYR-TV) – Syracuse is starting February with less than 30” of snow for the season. Could this end up as a record-low snowfall this winter? Where do we stand now? Going into February,…
