And God created Upstate New York...

On the sixth day, God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said,
"Today I am going to create an area of land called Upstate New York.  It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty.  It shall have tall hills and rolling plains full of game and eagles, beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and streams full of trout, forests full of deer and turkeys, valleys with fertile soil with an abundance of nutrients to grow things, and rivers teeming with fish."
God continued, "I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper, I shall call these inhabitants Upstaters, and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth."
"But Lord," asked Gabriel, "don't you think you are being too generous to these Upstaters??"



"Not really," replied God..  "Just wait and see the winters I am going to give them!"

Thanks Bumblethru


We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.   Funny how that works.

For Montgomery Co., Schenectady Co., Albany Co. NY:

* Timing... snow will begin early in the day on Wednesday. The snow
will mix with rain... sleet and freezing rain. Mixed
precipitation will change back to snow Wednesday evening.

* Snow and sleet accumulations... 7 or more inches possible.

* Ice accumulations... up to to a quarter of an inch... mainly south
and east of the capital region.

* Impacts... snow and ice covered roads and low visibility will
make for potentially dangerous travel. The combination of a
heavy wet snow... some freezing rain and wind could result in
isolated to scattered power outages.

* Winds... northeast 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph by
Wednesday evening.

* Temperatures... lower to mid 30s Wednesday... falling to the teens
late Wednesday night.

I'd be surprised if we get 4-6 at this point.

Forecasts for a significant snow fall for the immediate Capital Region have now been downgraded to a sloppy mess of rain and snow.

Predictions of 9 or more inches of snow from the approaching storm have now been lowered to 2 to 4 inches. Forecasters says to expect a mostly rain during the day Wednesday.

Mid March in Upstate NY... What could possibly happen???

The Great Blizzard of 1888 (March 11 – March 14, 1888) was one of the most severe recorded
blizzards in the history of the United States of America.
Snowfalls of 20–60 inches fell in parts of New York and sustained winds of more than 45 miles
per hour produced snowdrifts in excess of 50 feet.
Railroads were shut down and people were confined to their houses for up to a week.

Wten's forecast is way too optimistic for anyplace south of Saratoga County...All the latest model runs are trending warmer. The north country should still get crushed by this storm, which is fine because at this point in winter, that's where I want the snow to be anyway... But for us in Schenectady and Albany Counties (minus the hills), I be surprised if we ended up with more than 4" from this...
Boxy.... G'ville should be in the sweetspot for this.. probably the biggest snowfall this year..
