Point Blank Range Forecasts: Jan. 21-23, 2011
When words such as "frigid" and "arctic" are used to describe the upcoming temperatures, it might seem like a good idea to go on vacation. For those of us unable to make such a move, however, we're stuck with the chill. On that note, this edition of the Point Blank Range Forecasts focuses on the weekend's temperatures. Before we get into that though, it is a look back to see how the past forecast fared.
Last PBR focused on snowfall for the weekend in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse. Below are the snow totals for each of the three cities.
Buffalo: 1.8
Rochester: 2.6
Syracuse: 8.3
Bull's Eye: Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse each have snowfall totals of at least 6 inches for the weekend.
On Target: Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse each have snowfall totals of at least 3 inches for the weekend.
Complete Miss: Any other result.
Syracuse was the only one to reach either the 3 or 6 inch mark, so this is a Complete Miss.
A tough weekend for me as both the GSB and GSG forecasts resulted in Complete Miss outlooks. That brings my average down to 0.75, below the goal for the end of the season. There are eight more forecasts remaining this season, so I still have plenty of time to reach that mark.
Now on to this weekend's outlook. As mentioned earlier, this forecast focuses on the anticipated cold temperatures. I believe that a majority of the GSB cities will be below 0 this weekend, Friday night through Sunday.
Bull's Eye: All five GSB cities will have low temperatures below 0 this weekend.
On Target: Three or four of the GSB cities will have low temperatures below 0 this weekend.
Complete Miss: Two or fewer of the GSB cities will have low temperatures below 0 this weekend.
Be sure to check out the Golden Snow Globe site for that update. Have a great weekend everyone, and try to stay warm!

Come on, You should have said the HIGH temp will be below freezing this weekend. Of course the low will be below freezing this weekend. Just like almost any other winter weekend. Get brave!
Ah, bad copy-paste on my part. That should have been "below 0" for GSB and "below freezing" for the Texas forecast on GSG. Fixing now, thanks for the notice!
Hey, it was good to see this chart online. I liked seeing the snow race chart in the paper, but now I am living in Florida and I don't see that posted online daly. So whoever is doing it, thanks a lot! and tell them at Syracuse.com to add it to their weather page!
Stay warm..
Where are the total snowfall amounts (Location) recorded for each city?
But,but the Goracle says it Global Warming that is causing the cold weather.
Hey, this is a very active winter, we need more updates!!
Necromancer,
get educated about things before you post something ignorant.
I have no love for Al Gore at all, but CLIMATE CHANGE does in fact cause radical storms and cold. The warming of the oceans creates massive disruptions to the oceanic ecosystems, and with ocean currents altered and sea ice raising levels of the water, cold air meshing with above average ocean temps can create RADICAL weather....................just like we are seeing.
Take last year here in the south...........one of the coldest winters on record, and yet for the entire year it was the second WARMEST year as a whole.
Don't be ignorant. Study science.
