I live too far east of the Great Lakes to get the lake effect snow that western NY and the Adirondacks get early season.

I’d love to get some good snow! Even if it’s at the northern end of my range, Lake Placid, I’d be happy as a clam! A chilly clam…
Seafood should not be frozen; it's much better fresh :)
 
2 - 7 for our area, I better get the plow on the tractor tomorrow.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northern New York, central
Vermont, northeast Vermont, northwest Vermont and southern Vermont.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

Chances for accumulating snow are increasing for Tuesday night into
Wednesday with potential for 2 to 7 inches or more across a
significant portion of the North Country. With this being the first
event of the season following unseasonal warmth, some may be caught
off guard. Slick roads are probable during Wednesday morning`s
commute.
 
They say 2-5 here. Itll probably only be around for a day or so. Temps are chilly now, but I bet the ground is still too warm. Suggested to the wife that she work from home tomorrow. People drive like idiots first snow.
 
Tow truck drivers plan on the first few snow storms of the season to make truck payments;) Lots of folks forget how to drive in snow and have bought the con that All Season Tires are a substitute for snow tires. I think Quebec Province and possibly other provinces in Canada have it right, they require snow tires in the winter.
 
Accuweather.com is predicting 3-6 FEET for Buffalo now. I may have to get my snow blower running tonight, hopefully the guessers are wrong! But if they're right, winter sports may be awesome this year!

I'm glad that the backhoe is still on, that's another 900 plus pounds that will work well plowing this wet heavy snow.
 
Definitely looks like one for the record books.

There used to be a couple of Unimog collectors that would buy up old Unimog based airport snow removal equipment and plows and park them in that area ready for Lake Effect snow. If they did not end up there, they ended up out west in the rockies.
 
Local xc ski joint opened up today. My new wax arrived yesterday!


My ice fishing group is getting together fri and Saturday, no ice yet.

I need to be at a field hockey game Sunday 730am.

We got a foot coming tonight, in addition to the plows being out today. I’m right in the “problem area”.


Haven’t had this much snow this early since 2013/2014. That winter we got buried, it started early and lasted forever. If it so happens, I’m prepared.

A coworker already had someone crash into her yard this morning. I always either get my snows early or put them on myself. It can be weeks trying to get tires after that first plowable snow, and that was before supply chain issues.

Well, I thought it was funny! Everybody up here is prepared for this sort of thing.

The danger will be to the severely overweight and old groups having heart attacks. But neighbors chip in to help those in need.

We received four inches of the white stuff so far, that was actually good since we had a propane delivery today.

I plowed out our driveway and a neighbor's and then shoveled the sidewalk.

They dropped our snow totals, that's ok with me. I here south of here by 8 miles is getting Lake Effect, the propane delivery man said it was tough getting to some of the places.

I know it's the kid in me but I would love to see 48-60 inches of snow out my window.

Edit: Although I have to believe my roof might collapse lol. Does that happen up there much? I assume building codes up there account or heavier snow loads but 4-5 feet?
