A Nice Little Break

Well I'm almost all rested up from the Christmas holiday. Hopefully everyone had a fantastic Christmas! A well needed break from the computer. It will still be a hit and miss for me until after the new year but I'm sure the General with have something to say with some snow in the forecast for the near future. There really hasn't been a whole lot to talk about other than a lot of rain which made the traveling season a lot easier for most people I'm sure. I got my white Christmas but it was pretty close to being green with all the rain that fell.

I was surprised to hear my nieces boyfriend who came in from the Albany area say that the roads were slick yesterday morning around the Herkimer, Utica area. Sure enough Albany is reporting just over an inch of new snowfall for yesterday along with Binghamton showing half an inch so it looks like the east and south of the state made out. Albany has been a big surprise so far this season with the amount of snow they have received this early in the snow season. They are less than 2 inches away from being half way to their totals for the whole season last year. It will be interesting to see if they can keep it up or not.

All the cities continue to blow away last years totals and even Buffalo has past their totals for this time of the year from last season and most likely that will be the trend for the rest of the snowy season. If I remember correctly last year at this time we were in a rut that lasted up until about the 9Th or 10Th of January when the snow really started coming down. The next week or so looks like some snow with a possibility of some decent snowfall right around the beginning of the new year on January first. All the stats are up to date now with no major changes. Have a great day everyone!
