Long Winter in Upstate New York
 

February 1, 2021. My wife saw this and said it looks like not much has changed! Hope you guys down south are enjoying some warmer weather!

Supposed to maybe reach 60 today here, then 70's later this week. It has been in the 40's at night. Brrr...!!

It was +3 here last night.

I'm jealous Scott! At least the perch are really good eating this time of year...

Ice fishing Ken? Where? Haven't eaten a perch in years but damn delicious. We're in for 18" of snow or thereabouts down here, more in the northern PA areas.

Bays off of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence. Sometimes Oneida Lake when staying closer to home. We're in for 9" tonight.

we will see what this storm brings, so far - less than an inch of fluff

I haven't run the snow blower yet this season here in the western finger lakes

I think I have handled the snow shovel twice just to push a couple inches aside so the sun could dry the drive.

the Maple Tree Inn is going to open in two weeks - although I don't understand how all you can eat pancakes will work with take out :rotf: - that is my first sign of spring

ask me again in March - that seems to be when we get surprises :duck:

So true especially in New England. Sometimes it seems Winter never ends, skips Spring entirely, and suddenly you're in Summer by Memorial Day.

it s 30 degrees here today with wind gusts up to 25 mph...just staying inside...berr....was really nice yesterday...got some flower bushes in full bloom and thebutter cups blooming....but the cold weather is still hanging around....charlie

WE missed the snow by about 50 miles or so. Its 33 deg with wind gusts over 25 and has been blowing all night. I am glad we missed the snow but just to bitch, this wind is really depressing...... We should be up to the mid 40's by tomorrow. Gotta love Southernmost IL.
