The air is clear and Mother Nature has something cooking courtesy of Lake Ontario for you and the crew. You missed out on the Ice event a week ago in Northern New York along the lake shore and St. Lawrence Valley. The last two days we have had the "fake snow" in Central New York from down south. We call it "sugar snow." Right now it's zero degrees for our high and the snow squeaks when you walk and drive on it. <br />We natives to N.Y. have been watching appreciate your and the teams efforts. It appears this has been an eye opening experience to the team......Just another day in Upstate N.Y. to us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-76450871270665521782013-12-06T23:33:05.797-07:002013-12-06T23:33:05.797-07:00Jim, You should contribute to http://en.wikipedia....Jim, You should contribute to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake-effect_snow which also has some zombie meteorology in it.Scot Chipmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650190017905455606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-20726853036279447602013-12-02T09:04:30.483-07:002013-12-02T09:04:30.483-07:00Alaska Airlines Magazine hardly qualifies as a pee...Alaska Airlines Magazine hardly qualifies as a peer reviewed scientific journal, it a marketing tool to help sell airline ticket. In an age of pseudo science and and hyperbole inaccuracies like this abound. It's up to the reader to vet sources and take it all with a grain of salt. Besides, everybody knows its the Wasatch Weather Gnomes who extract the water from the snow to make their sweet sweet Gnome Whiskey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-77318282009792028262013-12-01T16:05:20.704-07:002013-12-01T16:05:20.704-07:00Zombie meteorology or great copy?

"The salinity of the lake, combined with the reefer we are smoking on the lift, makes the snow extra magical, bro" <br /><br />I think it's so funny when people say the snow in Utah is so much lighter than Colorado, when that's clearly not true. We just get more of it so it seems fluffier. The other thing I always here is that the reason the snow is so dry is because the "snowflakes dry out when they cross the desert". I have about a dozen other "zombie meteorology" folklore tales. Don't fight it, Jim. It's more fun to hear their version of events. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
