Rochester continues their march up the snow hill trying to be king and right now they are only 3.6 inches away from throwing Syracuse off the top of the hill. Looking at last years totals for this time in the season has me a little worried as a Syracusan and here’s why.
Last season most of us got off to a slow start but Rochester was really slow and was trailing Syracuse by 15 inches at this time last year and fell even further behind before they started a come back. Although we ended up blowing them away by the time the season ended they made a pretty good charge for awhile and I think it was about mid February when they started the charge. That’s why Syracuse might want to be a little worried this year. They have already started to make their move and it’s way earlier than they did last season. We’ll have to wait and see how serious they are about winning the trophy.
Don’t count Buffalo out of this yet either. Although the lake has been freezing over pretty rapidly the last week or so (see maps below) there is still enough open water to keep the lake machine running. Plus, my guess is that he General probably has some kind of destroyer on order to cruise through the lake and break all of the ice up if it’s needed. Ya have to keep an eye on the General, he’s a tricky kind of guy 😉
Is it time for the famous snow dance to take place??? You bet it is and it will be taken place in the very near future and this season the General from Buffalo is going to also do one or two, three. I believe this will be his third one of the season. No make that his second one. The first one was kind of an experiment for him and his dance ended up almost producing a hurricane. So we’ll consider that one some kind of wind dance. Yup, remember that windy day a few weeks back? Enough said ; ) Anyways the General called me out on a snow dance and with the contest being so close right now I figured I better do something to keep the trophy here in DaCuse another season so it will be happening maybe come Tuesday. At least that is what I told the General anyways, Shhhhhhh. Have a great day everyone.
patrick….its more like lets hope it is( shifted east) lol. right now it moves right up the appalachins mtns and basically right over Bingo, this would bring a snow to mix to rain to snow showers scenario to all the CNY cities except maybe buffalo who would be mostly snow. so lets hope for a 100 mile shift east so we can all stay all snow( except maybe Albany, they can stay all rain 😉 jk lol
Oh, I forgot to mention that I’ve been hearing the same thing about a potential snow event for Friday. WeatherT from the forum mentioned it a few days ago. Hopefully this one will come inland more 🙂 I don’t know what the latest models are showing but as of a few days ago it was west enough to bring something our way. Of course like the others, thats probably changed by now and is putting it more to the east. Lets hope not.
Mike, I’m glad someone from Binghamton is going to do a snow dance. Your thinking to small though just thinking about Albany. Go for the the Gold man, the Golden Snowball trophy that is 😉
The view is amazing and I’m kind of jealous that I’ll never see a big band of snow coming in like you will once you get there. The meteorology dept roof during LES events has to be awesome. Just make sure you bring a windbreaker with you when you start there and ya might wanna put on some weight because I’ve heard more than once the winds do knock you over on the campus.
few tenths of an inch of snow down here today. potential big storm friday,im in on the snow dance here in bingo as well(for that friday storm); but i can only promise that after i do my snow dance bingo will not, i repeat will not end up in last place for the year!!! patrick, in the previous post u were saying how your daughter will be able to see the LES coming right at her on the the top floor, well that is so true, i cant wait to get up there next year, you can literally see 10-15 miles offshore so ill be able to see those dark convective clouds coming at me, and if i have good timing ill be able to see a wall of white coming at me. also i heard that if your majoring in meteorology(which i am) they let you camp out on the meteorology dept roof during LES events, that is going to be sweet lol
lmao to a broadway musical General 🙂 I was hoping that some pictures would be floating around. Better yet a video 😉
A destoryer… hmmm never thought of that. lol… I do have some napalm on order to drop onto the ice this weekend, not only should it melt the ice but will probably add a few degrees, maybe a bit more to the surface temperature.
I’ve bumped my snowdance, well now its turning into a broadway musical, up to late Monday night, the prepearation have already begun, and I have a feeling a few pictures will be found…
