Some perspective on the Canadian wildfires...this shows total million hectares burned in Canada.
At over 3.5 million hectares burned so far, not only is this year beyond all but one of the past 6 year totals but will do it before the true wildfire season begins in July

The Buffalo airport slipped into Blizzard conditions (Wind > 35 mph and visibility due to snow < .25 miles) around 8:30 am Friday. They are now about to go into their 36th straight hour of Blizzard conditions. Previous record looks to be only 16 hrs in Jan 1985

News is not good from Buffalo this Christmas Eve. This comes from the Erie County County Executive "We have a very dire situation...there are still hundreds stuck in their vehicles "

When you work at one place for 36 years that's impressive. When you spend that 36 years at the top of your game that's remarkable and HOF worthy! All the best to

Big find for me to pick a pack of these brand name wipes today. I have only heard stories the last few months of these spotted in the wild. I did stick to the “1 per customer” limit.

Syracuse has three months of the winter that average 30" of snow or more:
December 30.4"
January 34.0"
February 30.3"
The last time Syracuse had a month with at least 30" of snow was January 2019 at 33.0" which would be a full 5 years after this month.

This may be the best 7 day forecast I've presented for Central New York all Spring long. Slight chance of a shower/storm over the holiday weekend depending on system passing to our south. If system keeps trending S we might take precip out

All this week I’m trying to help local businesses that are going to be hit hard in the next few weeks. Today it was Sno-Top. It may be a hard sell but I sure would like this to be an “essential “ business
A little Bruce for your timeline this morning. JMA Wireless Dome last night. 74 years old and still playing 3 hour shows! How has 39 years passed since I last saw him?
We have a good record of Lake Ontario surface water temperature since 1995. As of today, January 18th, this is the warmest Lake Ontario has been this late in the month in 26 years.

For those wondering, the heavy lake effect snow off Lake Ontario last few days happened with surface water temperatures that were normal for this time of year.

Not to say that Jim Boeheim was here a long time but.. the last time there was a Syracuse basketball team on the court WITHOUT him as head coach, I was in 5th grade and as he retires I'm on the cover of the local 55 Plus magazine

And there it is...Syracuse's last pre-8 pm sunset of the spring. We will have sunsets of 8 pm or later for the next 116 days!! 🌇The next time the sun sets before 8 pm is August 20th, one day before the start of the New York State Fair.

You don't see this very often, Syracuse trails Rochester, Binghamton AND Albany in the seasonal snowfall race and is just ahead of Buffalo.

Spied this cumulonimbus cloud to the northeast on our Pompeycam. I was curious as to how far away it was and it is just south of Saranac Lake about 100 miles from Syracuse
