Fezmid Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 People here think the weather in Buffalo is the same... I keep telling them that it's MUCH warmer in WNY! On the flipside, there's a ton more snow. http://www.thedailybeast.com/galleries/2010/12/10/america-s-25-coldest-cities.html

They fail to understand that the lakes that bring the snow also moderate the temperature.

I grew up in WNY and moved to Minnesota. It's nowhere NEAR as cold in WNY than it is here. My 2nd year here, we had windchills of -70F and the temps were like -25F. The wires on your headphones freeze immediately when you walk out in it. Your nasal passages crystalize with the first breath. It's really weird.

Your nasal passages crystalize with the first breath. It's really weird. Toledo is colder then Buffalo. I remember it being too cold in January to snow. -10's and -20's. The wind across the flat plains and living out in the western suburbs just hundreds of yards from wide open fields for miles. Snot frozen to your facial hair, taking 5 minutes to bundle up to walk 2 minutes to your next class.

Took me awhile to wrap my head around the "too cold to snow" but it's definitely true. It's crazy looking outside seeing bright sun, blue skies... All because it's too cold for clouds.

The clouds insulate the surface and prevent heat escape. No clouds, cold day.
Marv's Neighbor Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 It's the wind. Wind kills. PTR No doubt about the wind, but the humidity is also a big part of feeling cold. I was born & raised in BUF, lived in N VA., Seattle, Chicago, Houston and now in SE Virginia. When it gets cold in SE VA., it's almost always humid too, and that can feel worse than my best memories of BUF. I'm also 50 years older now, so I guess that factors into how I feel the cold now. I could move again to change my location but I can't do much about getting older!
