PromoTheRobot Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Not much. Less than 4 inches in the ground right now. Maybe 20 inches total this winter. One stretch of Sub-Zero temps. That's the snow report from Southern NH.

Green Bay @ 7/50. It has been a weird year for WNY as far as snow goes. True we are over 100 inches but we got a decent amount in November, nothing in December-1st two weeks of Jan then I think we got nearly 60 inches the last 2 weeks of January. It comes & it melts though. You could see grass right now which just a few snow banks left over. Supposed to be in the 50s Sunday. We have got a lot of snow but it has been spread & it will hit then be melted in 2-3 days. This has happened about 5 or 6 times this winter(thaw) 1

RaoulDuke79 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 About 5" yesterday and it's nearly 50° today.

Como Park is pretty much in my backyard. I walk my dogs thru it often. They have froze but have been closed every time I walk by it, not sure why. Maybe the ice is unsafe/too choppy.

The 9 inches of snow the city received Wednesday pushed it past the previous record of 26.5 inches, set back in 1962. According to CBS Minnesota, the last time 30 inches of snow fell in a single month in the Twin Cities – in December 2010 – the Metrodome roof collapsed.

Normal. 100" is 8.3' FEET. Even the average by this time is just over 6 feet. The snow never sticks around at our latitude and low elevation above sea level... Unless they are keeping it on a ski hill, tucked under a Northern or Eastern exposure. Or, it's an exceptionally harsh winters. The winners of the "Golden Snowglobe" contest is always between: Erie, Pa; BFLo, NY; & Syracuse, NY. Erie won last year. Rigged, like the NFL! LoL.. ? I can't remember a year where it all stayed throughout the winter, 1976-'77? Even Erie's whopping 198" last season didn't all stay around. That would be bad, very, VERY BAD. Donner Party Disaster, winter of 1846-'47 wall of snow bad!!! It ain't the High Sierras. I drove BFLo 4 times last winter and didn't encounter any walls of snow. Looked kind of normal.

This has been even more weird though. It literally snow & a day and a half later the snow is gone. I can't honestly remember a winter like that. The cold week leading super it was -10 here, coldest I ever remember it. Felt like -35 on That Thurs & Friday. it was 62 degrees super bowl Sunday, they said when you take inot account the wind chill, it was a 100 degree swing within 48 hours. Nothing normal about that my friend 1

Nothing normal about that my friend Outlier. Before the Blizzard of 1977... People wearing tee shirts. Always a thaw. Still just as long. Normal. This winter will drag on longer I am betting. Colder longer. Who knows. Whether or not we will have weather. Edited February 22, 2019 by ExiledInIllinois

Yeah but wasn't 77 the December leading up unusually cold & in fact didn't the lake freeze very early that year.

Yes! But there are always wild swings. Things have actually stabilized out. March of 2012...One of the warmest ever. Many days in 80s. Even at the Falls, we were on Maid of The Mist, mid-March. This has been a typical stable winter with a few wild swings. More snow than average... But drawn out. By Prez Day here, snow under 2 inches should burn off by late afternoon. It's been sticking. A look at long range shows average, even below with no usual late February, early March warm-up. Here, I should be getting ready to take top off Jeep (to clean) in a few weeks. We normally have fishing boats come through soon too. Ice very heavy still. Edited February 22, 2019 by ExiledInIllinois
