Pleasant Fall Weekend Ahead

buffalo_wabc.jpgThe prediction for light rain on Wednesday night was, ahem, a little off, but the forecast for today's cool weather was spot on. Gothamist would prefer that you remember the correct portion of the forecast. Lucky for us the forecast for the next few days should be much easier.

Cold, dry air moved into town last night. At one point the dew point temperatures dipped into the teens. With air that dry Central Park cooled all the way down to 41 degrees this morning. On the other end of the state, cold air passing over a very warm Lake Erie has given Buffalo an early season lead in the annual Golden Snowball contest. Heavy, wet snow falling on trees that have yet to lose their leaves is sure to cause problems. Up to a quarter-million customers are without power in western New York.

Today and the weekend look to have cool, clear nights and pleasant sunny days. If you are going to Shea Stadium tonight, temperatures will be in the mid-40s during the game. If you're not going to the game, temperatures will still be in the mid-40s around town this evening. High temperatures will be around 60 through Monday.

It may be nicer weather, but it was shockingly cool this morning.

It's not nicer. I'm FREEZING. I hate winter. I'm so cold at my desk at work that I am repeatedly going to the bathroom to run hot water over my hands, then returning to my desk and sitting on them. Beyond that, I'm still wearing my coat and scarf. This is going to be a long, miserable season.

Jesus tapdancing Christ, me, get a grip! It's in the mid 50s--that's hardly even crisp. Move to the south if you can't take it.

And ew, Buffalo's gonna be a mess. . . . nothing like a huge snowfall followed by a quick melt to turn everywhere into a mudbath.

If you're freezing or this morning was "shockingly cool", you can't be a New Yorker who grew up here. You must be from the South or California. When the temp. goes down to the 20s and 30s, then it's "crisp", at least for me. Give me a break.

No doubt that Buffalo is a mess right now. Their totals so far are just over 22 inches of snow which is unheard of this time of the year.

Sunny and mid 50's - 60. It doesn't get much better than that. I felt a little bit guilty today playing a round of golf here in Da Cuse today while Buffalo got almost a 2 foot jump on us so far. Just a little guilty though ;) What a beautiful view it was on the course with the leaves at peak now. Great site Jay and thanks for the mention.

Sorry, Make that a Great site Joe, sorry I was on the phone with a friend Jay while typing (add embarrassed face here)

How could anyone in their right mind want to live in Buffalo?

Good question.
