I know but the guy gets on every radio show, I mean every show, he must have his own private line, and obviously has the means to travel to all these games, he's no bigger a Jet fan than you or I CBG
I went to college near Rochester, and not to play weatherman but it's all about wind direction for these lake effect snow situations. The wind during this situation has been mostly out of the west, coming over the still warmer water of the lakes. Westerly winds predominate, which is why Buffalo gets more snow than, say, Rochester. Near Rochester you would get lake effect snow when the wind came out of the northwest, but not the west, and we'd get much less lake effect snow than you would about twenty to thirty miles south and southwest. Detroit is on the northwest corner of Lake Erie, and so it really doesn't get lake effect snow since wind would have to be out of the southeast to come over Lake Erie, which would almost certainly be much warmer air than out of the west or northwest. Same for Toronto on Lake Ontario.
Lem Barney was one of my original favorite players. When we played football in the side yard of my house, on offense I was Tarkington (my older brother was bigger, so he got to be Namath, plus I was smaller and faster and I loved to scramble) but on defense I was always Barney. _
Exactly. Look how specific it can be. Nothing to the west or north of the lakes: But then look at the belt of snow coming off Lake Michigan with Chicago virtually untouched. _
We used to get lake effect snow in Syr off of Lake Ontario all the time. My son got blasted last year. _
Syracuse gets a compounding effect since the land from the southwest to east southeast of it has an increasingly higher elevation, while it is pretty much just plains from west to northeast. So when clouds approach Syracuse from anywhere west to north, they get squeezed out as they approach the higher elevations. Syracuse does not get much lake effect snow from Lake Erie, but when it comes off Lake Ontario, that's why it gets more snow than Rochester, which is closer to the Lake, but is on relatively flat land. Elevations do not increase south of Rochester until you get south of the Thruway. God I am glad I don't live up there anymore. I remember one winter the high for the day did not go above 20 for six straight weeks. Every night was like 5 above to 5 to 10 below. Brutal. It wore you down. Worst stretch of weather I have ever experienced.
Did not know that about higher elevations. Good stuff. Btw, I would never choose to live in Central or Western NY. School was it. My cousins lived in Rochester by choice. _
Yep, that's the deal with Syracuse. I once got fairly far down the road applying for a job there. Lucky for me I did not get it. Yes, the winters are truly awful up there. But I will say the summers can be great. It almost never goes above 90. I remember going to the quarries, up to Hamlin Beach on Ontario, going swimming. Good times. You just need to get the fuck out by mid November. Or end of October in this year's case. heh.
Yeah, I never spent a summer up there until law school/grad school and my future wife to be was in grad school. Was an awesome summer, beautiful. Green Lakes, Brickyard Falls, Skaneatelles Lake, loved it. To visit. Springtime in college up there was like a metamorphosis for students couped up for months. Speakers turned out of the dorm windows, the Quad, concerts in the park, good times. _
not true FOX is allowed to show a game when the Jets are playing. The only time they can't is if the Jets are home. Jets away this week anyway. FOX could have shown a 1 PM game.
