Stunning Photos Of Record Snow Covering Upstate New York: 100 Total Inches Of Snow Expected

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As previously reported, the anticipated Polar Vortex 2.0 has struck, pushing temperatures in all 50 states to below freezing, while heavy snow prompted a state of emergency in western New York and contributed to the deaths of four people. According to Reuters, it was the coldest November morning across the country since 1976, according to Weather Bell Analytics, a meteorologist consulting firm. It remains to be seen how many GDP percentage points were wiped out as a result, unless of course, this time it will be different from last winter. Typically, such cold is not seen until late December through February.

But it was the situation in upstate New York, especially around Buffalo and parts of Erie County, where things got most dire and where 60 inches (1.5 m) of snow accumulated, with more falling, said Steven Welch of the National Weather Service near Buffalo. Snow fell at a rate of up to five inches (13 cm) an hour and some areas approached the U.S. record for 24-hour snowfall totals of 76 inches, or over 6 feet, the NWS said.

The record cumulative snowfall through Wednesday is shown in the image below:

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency for 10 counties. National Guard troops were deployed to help residents cope with the storm.



The good news, according to CBS, is that the Tuesday storm is fading away: deputy Erie County Executive Rich Tobe told reporters Wednesday morning that the storm had begun to move toward Buffalo's northern suburbs, and was expected to leave 2-5 more inches of snow in its wake. But he said the break would be short-lived for the hard-hit southern Buffalo suburbs, where forecasters were calling for more snow on Thursday, as much as three feet more, for a total of up to 100 inches over four days - a year's worth for the region. Still, there should be an 18 hour window to clear roads, he said.

And then it is all set to flip again, with the current freezing period expected to be followed by a "dramatic warming trend this weekend," raising the possibility of flooding from melting snow.

One of the main culprits for the heavy snow accumulation was the so called "lake-effect" which created a stark divide: In downtown Buffalo and north of the city, there was a mere dusting of precipitation, while in parts south, snow was everywhere. The snow band that brought the snow was very much evident throughout the day as gray clouds persistently hovered over the southern part of the city. The band was so apparent that the wall of snow could be seen from a mile away.

A dramatic time-lapse of the snow-wall can be seen in the video below:

 

But nothing compares to the photos on the ground as shocked residents woke up to find themselves literally burried under 6 or more feet  of snow. Here is a sample of what they saw on Tuesday morning courtesy of Albany Meteorologist Greg Pollak:

"lake effect" is a misleading term suggesting that somehow the lake increases the amount of snow

this is simply not true

snow is a natural, organically-formed material that moves through the planet's hydrological cycle of liquidity

the lake, at most, provides a small stimulus to this already existing and natural process

ActungAffen,  during my miserable years as a grad student, I was told directly that to receive a grant, I need to understand the underlying beliefs and philosophy undergirding the approval board.  After having my initial proposal rejected, I was bluntly told by my advisor that "all science is political" and to get 'real' if I wish to receive a grant.  Fortunately, I left and managed to earn a decent living elsewhere.

 

There are far better versed ZH members than I who can argue the case for or against AGW,  Climate Change, Climate wierding, or whatever  is the latest branding for a psuedo scientific dogma.  I leave it to them to take up cudgels and argue the case.  All I know is that when Fat Al announced that the science was settled, and anyone who disagreed was a denier, then I knew we were no longer arguing science, but  dogma grounded in a belief system. My view was confirmed when was clear that the proponents of AGW wanted to make my money, their money, via a carbon credit theft system heavily promoted by JPM, GS and the rest of the bankster cabal.

So 16 years of testing the premise of AGW has falsified it?

scientific method
n.
The principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to demonstrate the truth or falseness of the hypothesis, and a conclusion that validates or modifies the hypothesis.

A model or hypothesis can never by "settled" or proven, it can only be falsified.  Only models which can be falsified are scientific.  So, if, for example, your model predicts an increased in retained heat and thus a rise in temperature, T, with carbon Dixoxide, CO2, but you observe 18 straight years with no increase in T while CO2 increases by more than 10% you have falsified any model which predicts CO2 controls the T of the lower troposphere.  You conclude, using the the scientific method that other factors, such as the hydrological cycle and clouds which you have omitted from you model, must be controlling the T in a complex, non-linear chaotic system.  Indeed, this is just what happens in real planetary climates.  Its unpredictible and uncontrollable.  Thus, anathema to control freak statists and banksters everywhere.

That the grant system is always flawed and that all scientists supporting the AGW research are grant hungry political militants.

No offense, but repeatdly shreiking that you are the only person concerned  about science in the middle of a scentific discussion is insulting and makes you look like an idiot.

 

All we can do is rely upon logic. The ball has been in the Global Warming advocate's court for some time now and they keep changing their facts, and coming up wrong, again, and again, and again. That happens when you start your science with an assumption based on faith.

1. Climate Change is the Earth's norm, that's not even open for debate.
2. What isn't settled is if the Earth is warming.
3. Or if it is warming, is it, on balance, a bad thing?
4. What isn't settled is if man is a factor, let alone the primary cause.
5. What isn't available is a reliable model of how fast it will progress.
6. Finally, what isn't even likely, in fact, it's laughable, is the assertion that it is irreversible, and that's the real issue, because if it's reversible, then who gives a care? We've got a dozen other more threatening issues to deal with before this even becomes a shadow of a problem.

 

Why WOULD global warming be irreversible? Because of a THEORY proposed decades ago by the very people who have been WRONG for decades? Where's the science and logic in that? If a supervolcano or extinction level meteor doesn't produce a runaway greenhouse gas effect, events which pump MASSIVE amounts of carbon into the atmostphere, amounts which dwarf all the carbon EVER produced by man, then why would the earth not adjust to the paltry amounts we produce now?

 

 

The bottom line is the greenhouse gas theory is a religion to the global warming crowd, and a cash cow to their leaders. THEY have to back up their irreversible greenhouse gas theory with something other than scare tactics and name calling or global warming is no more threatening than any other kind of pollution. At this point, they haven't even made the case that this ubiquitous, naturally occurring gas IS a pollutant.

No true scientist would EVER say "the science is settled'.   What you are saying is, "Don't you dare challenge me".  Newtonian physics were not only mathematically and scientifically proven for over 300 YEARS, but reproducible and consistent with every known method of observation until Einstein came along.   You might as well shriek from the mountains, "Don't challenge my religion", fuck head.  

 

I could decimate this idiotic assumtion of yours, but I am assuming you have frost bite of the brain, but here's a post I made last summer, and I have literally 5 more paragraphs if you need more:  This past year in the US alone has seen over 100,000 RECORD cold temps as in the coldest temps EVER seen in the US. The IPCC said there has been no warming for 17 years. Global average temp has dropped 15 years in a row as have global ocean temps. Arctic and Antarctic ice are at RECORD thickness and volume. The Great Lakes have entirely frozen over, something NEVER recorded in history, and they expect ice to be on Lake Superior until the end of AUGUST if not ALL year long. This past year saw the coldest temp EVER RECORDED on earth, AND the coldest temp ever recorded in the northern hemisphere. The average temp in Alaska has dropped 3 degrees Celsius over a decade which is enormous. it snowed in Egypt on the Sphinx, a first in over a century. It snowed in the middle of the summer in Australia. China and the Mid East saw their coldest winters in over 5 decades. Climate "scientists" engaged in the biggest scientific fraud across the globe in the history of the world, literally. NONE of the predicted outcomes from computer models have come true, in fact usually the exact opposite has come true. To counter that, climate "scientists" stated just this week that temperature data doesn't matter, just their computer models which have been shown to be off by 3000% when historical figures are entered. Global cooling is a bigger threat to sustaining life than global warming, and in fact a new study came out just last week detailing that the benefits derived from a warmer planet exceed the threats.

Summer, yes. Hot, yes. Burning hot, also. The so called "climate gate" was a piece of PR that only people with low capacity to discern legitimate information would fall for. Was it, mayhaps, a trove of thousands of unredacted documents? Was it something a-la wikileaks, where you need many analysts to check all the info? NO. It was a bunch of paragraphs from different documents pretty much out of context, which for the uninitiated in climate science, might sound fishy. There have been multiple inquiries by official organs as to the complete contents of the mail archive and no foul game was found.

Smiddy spot on.  Do not try to disucss real science with a true global warming nut case.  Your wasteing your breath.  No matter how many point out the flaws in their science they will deny it.  Even when caught red handed they will claim it is a right wing conspiracy.  They forget to mention doing their models they strip out many components to achieve their model.  Take water moisture for instance which actually makes up most of our atmosphere.  They strip it out.  Peer review is conduted only in the realm of believers as many non-believers debunk the science threatening their scientific method.  Debunkers freely allow other scientists to review their findings these nuts do not.

I can pick any spot on the planet to justify my findings and the hell with the rest of the world as long as I am getting paid by the financiers and can further my cause to sell you basically air.  We already sell people water might as well sell it all.  This has nothing to do with sound science as it has been debunked many times and all the doom and gloomers in the green movement world have been proven wrong 100% of the time.  100%!  Remember the big ice melt in the artic at record levels and the documentary they showed on MSM?  Well the next winter if froze over and added to the freeze in the area.  But they do not want to talk about it as they do not want to let other scientisits outside their so called realm of science peer review their papers.  This has been going on since the start of this crap.  They now call it climate change because they lost the argument long ago, but they still attribute it to global warming when you read their publications.

Climate change sure, but that has gone on since the forming of this planet.  It will continue to go on when we become extinct.  That will never change.  They often times forget the 400 year ice age in the norther hemisphere and debunk anyone that states global cooling is happening.  Any rational cause other then the man made or worse now livestock because they fart and give off methane is closed out.  Why? Because they are paid to state the bullshit to get paid and scare dumbasses of the world.  They want your money and nothing more.  They even want to tax cattle because of this deadly methane they give off but they forget we people fart too.  Of course it was conducted in London, the head of the most corrupt financiers on the planet. Oh wait they have even discussed that!!

SALUTE +100 if I could.

That's the trouble with global warming theory, the conclusions come first and the observations are cherry picked to support the conclusion.  That is not science, that's religious doctrine.  The truth is you guys are reality deniers.  Where's your evidence of severe winters when carbon levels were much higher in the past?  Where's you evidence of a runaway greenhouse gas effect when the supervolcanoes and meteor strikes FILLED the atmosphere with carbon.  I know what you'll say, that was NATURAL carbon and man made carbon is so much worse, it's evil pixi carbon and it's hiding at the bottom of the sea to kill us all.

The high carbon release is detected with radio-carbon dating & ice-cores so we can measure the intensity, by the way. This is the most intense release of CO2+methane in all history next to the Permian extinction event's beginning.

Rubbish. Cooling is a lack of heat! In central USA across the Atlantic and into Europe the cold polar high pressure system moves south until it collides with the warm Azores high pressure system. The area of collision is the ITCZ (Inter Tropical Convergence zone) where the temp and pressure differentials cause the Jet stream winds and the spiraling cyclonic weather fronts. The heat in the Azores High generates Hurricanes (notice how they have been fewer and further east lately) and push heat into the USA which pushes the Polar air north. When the Azores high is weak (cooler) it doesnt warm into the USA and lets the Polar air move south. This means the Jetstream (ITCZ) imoves south and thats what we see in Europe. The Jetstream used to flow over Scotland (making it wet and windy) now it is flowing over spain making southern Europe unusually wet. The UK normally has Westerley winds but for the last 2 yrs has had unusally high number of southerley and eastly winds, all due to the jetstream moving south as the ITCZ moves south due to a lesser heat in the Atlantic.  Similar processes occur over the Pacific and in the southern hemishere where the tropical rain belt coincides with the Southern ITCZ. These are all natural processes and not the result of you turning down your central heating!
