A SNOWFALL FOR ALL!

Written by: Scott Hetsko

Snowstorms that effect the entire area have been rare so far this Winter but one is on the way beginning Tuesday afternoon. Snow will spread across the area from Southwest to Northeast through the day Tuesday. Periods of snow will continue into the wee hours of Wednesday morning. A plowable snowfall is likely for the entire region. 6" is likely in Rochester but the potential for more depending on the exact track of the storm to our South. Heavier snow will likely fall to our East along I-90 from Syracuse to Albany. This is the snowfall many of you have been waiting for, enjoy!

    I don't like snow!! Lived here all my life and still don't like it!! How's the next two weeks shaping up Scott?!! In two weeks I'll be home, not by choice, but by necessity. The hand is being operated on ( carpal tunnel). I want to know if I can get outside! I hear that it's really nice if you can do it once in awhile. I know you like snow. That's okay too!! Just 30 degrees or so, that's all. Thanks!!

    I LOVE the snow! But it seems that the forecasts have been WAY off this year. I'm always one to support the forecast (especially Scott's!) but it seems that when snow is called for, we don't get it, and when we are supposed to be grazed, we get more than expected. And...whats up witht eh mixed precip this year? Do these missed forecasts (by all not just your station) and the increase of freezing precip just chance, or is it another symptom of "global warming"??

    Stu,

    In this instance, our forecast from yesterday is pretty close to what's happening this evening. 3-6" was forecast. The storm track has been primarily just to our West or right overhead since November. Forecasting winter storms are hard enough but when you get a messy mix of sleet and freezing rain...it's WAY more difficult.

    global warming get WAY too much credit for seasonal weather...you can't connect the two!

    Scott, I agree that over time seasonal weather will do what it will... But...
    Dont you think that if overall temperatures are increasing it will be connected to the weather systems?
