    That's the biggest mess in Buffalo since the Blizzard of '77.

    I've been looking at all the pics and hoping you all were OK. :o))))

    Hallelujah!
    Jesus, you have overcome the World!

    Every high place must come down,
    Every stronghold shall be broken,
    You wear the Victor's Crown!
    You've overcome!
    You've overcome!

    Rising Temperatures Might Flood New York Towns That Were Just Hit With 6 Feet Of Snow




    Washington (AFP) - Record-breaking snowfall that buried towns near Buffalo, New York, and killed at least 14 people posed a major flooding threat with temperatures forecast to rise.

    Areas of western New York that got socked with more than six feet (two meters) of snow this week are now are under a flood warning, the National Weather Service said.

    The zone was previously under a flood watch, which urges people to prepare for a possibility, while a more serious flood warning is issued when flooding is imminent or occurring.

    The warning was in effect in northern Erie, Genessee, Wyoming, Chatauqua, Cattaraugus, southern Erie counties, including the cities of Buffalo, Batavia, Warsaw, Jamestown, Olean, Orchard Park and Springville.

    The Buffalo News --

    Winter weather weirdness may be just beginning

    Meteorologists and geographers say that lake-effect snows have increased as temperatures have warmed in recent decades. That means more bizarre early-season storms, though not necessarily as bad as last week’s, are likely in the future as the warming trend continues.

    “The general notion is that, as the climate warms and the lakes hold their warmth longer into the fall, you’re going to see a lot more lake-effect snow until it’s too warm to have much snow,” said Mark Monmonier, distinguished professor of geography at Syracuse University and the author of the 2012 book “Lake Effect: Tales of Large Lakes, Arctic Winds, and Recurrent Snows.”

    ***

    Adding it all up, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration – which watched it all happening on its weather satellites – said on its website: “While the Bering Sea Superstorm did not directly cause the snow event in New York, it did set the stage for it by nudging the jet stream into an unusual shape that sent a pulse of cool Arctic air south over the central United States.”

    The trouble is, the jet stream’s “unusual shape” isn’t all that unusual anymore – and that’s just one reason why big early-season lake-effect snows may become our new normal.

    “We’ve seen an unusual number of extreme jet-stream patterns like this in the past fifteen years, which happens to coincide with the period of time we’ve been observing record loss of summertime Arctic sea ice and record retreat of springtime snow cover in the Arctic,” Masters, the weather blogger, wrote last week. “Could it be that these changes in the Arctic are causing the wacky jet-stream behavior of recent years? That’s the theory being advanced by a number of prominent climate scientists.”

    GOOD GRIEF!! Apparently this moron is so isolated in his ivory tower that he missed the fact that Lake Superior is ALREADY icing... weeks ahead of "normal". Not only are they NOT "holding their warmth later in the fall"... they aren't even warming up to "normal" temps in the summer!

    These people are delusional.
