The Snow Dance, Reverse Psychology or Threats
Was it the snow dance or perhaps trying reverse psychology on mother nature? Maybe it was the threat of NYCO to put the Snow God back in the closet or maybe it was just our weather finally doing what it is suppose to do this time of year. SNOW! Whatever the reason sfter one of the lamest, most pitiful snow seasons so far that I can remember, snow is finaly in the air, and on the ground. Up to the north snow is on the ground so fire up the sleds while it's there. Some unofficial reports are coming in the forum that the Tug Hill area is showing anywheres from 12 - 18 inches and the snow continues to fall. I'm still waiting for Tug Hill Tina to give us a report in the forum as to how much snow she has on the ground there. ZR800 posted in the Golden Snowball forum the following from NOAA:
Other reports so far from the Buff NWS...
Colden 10"
Warsaw 11"
N Oseola 9"
Portagville 6"
None of the GSB city's are reporting snow from over night. Come tomorrow morning that will all change. NOAA just updated it's current warnings at http://www.weather.gov/view/prodsByState.php?state=ny&prodtype=warnings
Right now they are predicting 10 - 16 inches in persistant snow areas meaning if the lake effect bands tend to sit in spots or keep devoloping in certain spots, look out. My guess is that all the city's will see something by morning and I think out of the 5 golden snowball cities, Syracuse is going to win this round with Rochester coming in second.

Looks like your dance worked.
I didn't put the Snow God away, but I didn't turn it on the other night.
It looks like, from the WIXT weather radar, that this is the long-awaited "big one" (lake effect snow band) that comes from warm Lake Ontario waters and cold air. It is going all the way down to the Norwich area. If we get more persistent cold air we can probably expect much more of this.
We'll have to keep track of all the things we do to make it snow NYCO. Maybe just the threat of the closet works and you'll definitely have to leave it turned off again for a day if we ever hit a dry spell like that again.
I just took an unofficial measurement and we have about 8 inches East of the city. Watching the radars it looked like the city, airport and even Fairmount might of picked up a few more inches then where I am, just east of the city. NOAA should be posting some stats soon and the chances are good that we made up some snow on Buffalo ;)
