Nice Pic.

I love playing in the snow on 4-wheelers and snow-mobiles.
I just hate driving in it.

what's snow???

those pics were took along the road from my house. i just love having snowball fights!!!

Boy, don't get me started about snow....I'm the biggest snow freak and we have had none this year...Yesterday it hit 70, when the temps are supposed to be in the 30's...The only snow I've seen this year is at the hockey rink when the Zamboni clears the ice and dumps it on the side...You know how tempting that is, just to go over and make a snowman

hahahaha yeah they dont call us the sunburnt country for nothin

You call that a lot of snow?... try living in central NY, you'll get sick of REAL quick.

Climate

Syracuse is known for its snowfall. Boasting 115.6 inches (293.6 cm) on average,[4] the Syracuse metro area receives more snow on average than any other large city in the United States.[5][6] Syracuse continually wins the Golden Snowball Award, among Upstate cities. Its record so far is 192.1 inches (487.9 cm). The high snowfall is a result of the fact that the city receives both lake effect and nor'easter snow. Snow most often falls in small (about 1-3 inches/2-8 cm), almost daily doses, over a period of several days. Larger snowfalls do occur from time-to-time, and even more so in the northern suburbs.

One notable blizzard was the Blizzard of 1993, during which 42.9 inches (109 cm) fell on the city within 48 hours, with 35.6 inches (90.4 cm) falling within the first 24 hours. Syracuse received more snow than any other city in the country during this storm, which shattered a total of eight local records, including the most snow in a single snowstorm.[7] A second notable snowfall was the Blizzard of 1966, with 42.3 inches. Ironically, virtually no snow fell during the Blizzard of 2006, where the Catskills and New York City saw over two feet (60 cm) of snow fall in about one day.

Syracuse's hottest month is historically July, with an average high temperature of 82 °F (28 °C), while its coldest month is historically January, with an average high temperature of 31 °F (-1 °C). Record highs and lows are 102 °F (39 °C) on July 9, 1936 and -26 °F (-32 °C) on January 26, 1966 and February 18, 1979, respectively.

A few recent summers in Syracuse have been warmer than previous ones in the city and, like in some other places in the nation, previous records have been broken. For example, the summers of 2005 and 2002 were, respectively, the hottest and second-hottest summers on record.[8]

I love winter and snow....we get some good snow accumulation, but then it blows away - east of the Rockies. Causes some wicked blizzard conditions.

that's a lota snow Biff.

I though that the majority of the northern part of North America kind of got very snowy winters and very hot summers.

Goalie, I'm especially surprised that you've had no snow, are you from New Jersey? Isn't that close to New York which is snowy?

You can have my snow I'm done with it

Yep, I'm done with it too. And this damned -40C temps. I like snow right up until Christmas then as far as I'm concerned it can melt and summer can begin!

Can't wait for May Long Weekend. Sitting on the dock at the lake, drinking beer. Yeah, I know it's going to be cold and rainy but it is the first official long weekend of summer!

Yup - in fact it's snowing right now.... groaan.




Goalie probably gets no snow because the stench of NJ makes the clouds plug their noses and it keeps it from snowing.

D'oh, I'm only kidding Goalie - I'm not from NYC so I have no right to say that.

I feel bad for yuh, no snow, my gosh! how do you live?

Yay we had about three cms the other day . I was well chuffed and all kids were all out having snow ball fights was fab . We dont get much here anymore . we have to make the most of it when it comes

You are too much.........I wish a blizzard for Biff, I wish a blizzard for Biff, I wish a blizzard for Biff...

Hi Reg...Yes I'm in Jersey, but lately nothing over here...Now Biff lives in New York, but it's way upstate and those areas are known to get tons of it....This is the second year, that our temps. are higher than usual, and I guess I'll have to wait to next year....

Awwww, Poor goalie! I think we need to pass the hat and buy you a snow making machine like those ski resorts have! Then you can build snow men, and make snow angels in july when the neighbors are sweating it out! Now wouldn,t that be nice?

hey darkmoonbride...isnt that we do alllllllllllll the time

No blizzard yet ... but check out this vid from last year. I actually live a bit north of syracuse in Phoenix, NY - Oswego County and it was really this bad... OSWEGO COUNTY SNOW WEEK - it's just a compliation vid that someone I don't know made.

... and when it all melts every spring I can always count on my basement flooding

Then we end up with absolutely beautiful summers, when I spend most of my free time in my pool -

Awww...what a beautiful video, bought back memories of when we used to get snow Oh, I haven't stopped wishing yet...be prepared...

I'm a gooud spieller.

compliation - Before coffee

compilation - After coffee


uh oh.. .next thing I know you'll make a 'Biff voodoo doll' and stuff me in a snowglobe

And shake that sucker up


I almost got owned by a pickup truck this morning because of the snow lol, reached the end of my street and my car just kept going... luckily nobody from the left but a truck was right there on my right so i fished it around and stopped sideways before i went into his lane... PHEW lol

I do enjoy doing donuts in empty parking lots, however

I haven't seen snow for 26 years. I wouldn't mind a little romp in it, as long as I don't have to drive in it.

I'm with you goalie - no snow in NJ. We had one flurry I think so far this season.

I remember my college days in WAY upstate NY (about 2 hours north of Syracuse) and that blizzard of 93. We had about 14 feet of snow. People had to sled out of 2nd story windows to get to class. It was awesome.

St. Lawrence? Pottsdam?

Yeah that blizzard of 93' was pretty bad. I worked as an apartment maint. worker when that happened for a 140 unit complex that covered 5 blocks. I learned how to run a 'Bobcat' real quick.

My daughter went to Ithaca College, and I remember her telling me about the snow starting in October, and not ending until April....But it was beautiful, right on the Finger Lakes, frozen waterfalls...beautiful country....

LOL
All we get is dust storms.

LOL!!! first thought was donuts of the dunkin variety!! LOL! Guess it's time for me to eat breakfast and get this off my mind! Seriously though, the snow is really pretty! My biological father lives in the midwest, so he gets lots of snow. when I go visit some winters, I love playing in the snow! I get over it real quick though when I have to shovel it!

I can't say what I did say when I saw that video so instead I will say WOW! 11 feet of snow!!!???? That's so mental. That pic of the inside of a house with the snow blocking the view.... Just mad. The flooding after must have been nightmarish.

I'm prepared for the basement flooding this year. I just got a new sump pump for the basement and it seems to work pretty good so far. My house is pretty old (built in 1888) so the basement tends to leak even during rain anyway. It's got cobblestone walls... and it's verrrrry creeepy down there.

No snow today - we got about 2" yesterday. Expect a few inches tonight though. It's extremely cold today. I had to take a 'hot water only' shower this morning because the cold water pipe to the bathroom froze. It could have been worse, the freezing of the pipes could have been the other way around.

I guess the snow could be worse though... here's a picture of the Trans-Labrador Highway in northeastern Canada.

Hooley Dooley Biff!!!
My husbands from Philly PA(now an OzMerican) and says he remembers winters like that and thank goodness we live in the Subtropics.
I dont think most Aussies have ever experienced snow like that.
Looks pretty though but I bet you soon get tired of it.
Looking at you all rugged up in big coats...hell...I only own 1 sweater...1 jacket..dont even get to wear them all that often.
Cute doggies by the way.

You would definitely need more than 1 sweater and 1 jacket to live here... it's waaaay cold today. It's the kind of cold that makes your eyes water just being in it.
brrrrrr

And the boogers freeze in your nose *wiggles nose*

Im in western canada right now and there is a 9 foot high drift outside my porch...

Wow Charlie Donuts, that's one big drift....It's not yellow is it?

I'll admit, I don't have nine foot snow drifts. But we did get a pretty good snow and ice storm last night. The roads are not good at all.

Plus. We have people who drive like idiots around here. If the roads are bad, you have some people who drive way too slow. And some people who drive way too fast. Not a good combination.

9 foot yellow snow drift? *shudders* I walk away fom 2 inch wide holes... When I live in the arctic one of my friends got cut on a rock and it was -40 degrees centergrade... His blood froze to his arm!

I guess it would save on kleenex...just snap 'em off!

St. Lawrence.

That pic of the highway is crazy. I like snow, but not that much.

we have about a foot of snow here..
im getting sick of the stuff
