I Had a Dream it Snowed
I had a dream last night that it snowed a couple of days ago and Syracuse got something like 11 inches. But then when I woke up I looked out the window and there wasn't 11 inches of snow. Just a little bit here and there in the yard. What a great dream it was. In other words,
What the (add your own cuss word here)heck happened to the snow? How can we have 11 inches of snow on the ground a day and a half ago and now practically nothing? The bigger question is why did I even bother to shovel the snow? I never had a chance to really play in it like I wanted to. Ok, enough of my whining.
Cold air is in the forecast for next week and early reports suggest that it might actually stick around this time which should help the skiing places out. Rumors are going all around about some big time snow coming our way. My sister informed me that the farmers almanac has a blizzard forecasted and a couple of other places are saying the same thing. Too early to tell what lies ahead but looking at what's going on down in Texas, where early predictions are maybe a couple of inches of freezing rain I think anything can happen at this point.
My prediction is that the ski resorts will be set for awhile beginning right around Monday. Have a great weekend all!

I had a nightmare last November (?) that my town was under a Lake Effect Snow Warning. As the snow band was approaching (from the lake), it suddently shut down directly over the shoreline and dimished. I looked out the window and not a flake was in the sky. I responded with agony. I did not like that dream.

The reason for the relatively quick disappearance of the snow is due to Global Warming. In fact, the amount of snow Syracuse has received over the past 70 years has increased dramatically because of GW...however, it stays on the ground for a shorter period of time.
see Paper by Burnett et al., 2003
I've been reading a little bit on global warming but no where's near what I should be. Thanks for the heads up on the paper by Burnett and I will check it out when time permits.
Not a dream here today Summer. I watched a band hang up north all day and then when it finally dropped it broke up :( Right now it shows a band over Syracuse but it's only light snow falling, Geesh
