I am in Syracuse, and we are well below average right now. Buffalo keeps getting pounded with storms though, definitely do not envy those folks.

Ask people from buffalo/western NY and they will absolutely claim they don’t get that much snow anymore. Which is just baffling but they certainly claim it

I'm from the NY/PA border roughly 50 miles south of Buffalo. Compared to when I was a young kid in the 90s to now, there simply isn't as much snow up there anymore it seems (when I visit).

To be fair though, the lake snow bands would set up further south when I was young, now they seem to set up further north so the snow is the same, it just goes to a different narrow area now.

For sure it snows less than it used to in the 90s but that’s true everywhere else too. I think the frustrating thing I encounter is western NYers who insist buffalo doesn’t get much snow but in comparison to the rest of the country it absolutely does and is frequently the snowiest mid sized city in the country

Being from that area, I agree. If you look at Buffalo-proper, it's right on the lake and typically only sees snow from general snowfall events. A few miles inland, you'll see lake-effect snow bands set up that dump an enormous amount of snow in a narrow area. That's why most of us up there say that Buffalo doesn't see that much snow, because only a few miles south, you'll see a lot more in comparison. When I grew up the bands set up about 40 miles south of the city, but now they're closer to 20 miles south of the city it seems.

To be fair to the farmers, we have actually had a good amount of rain. The temps have just been too warm.

Definitely_wasnt_me t1_j6aenvb wrote

Isn’t the farmers almanac correct about half of the time? They self proclaim 80% but more scientific tests suggest 50% (according to this source

I think we can ignore it.

And NOAA said we were going to have an above normal Atlantic Hurricane season

These predictions are about as accurate as me picking the Lotto numbers.

Comparing NOAA to a farmers almanac is not comparing apples to apples

gh234ip t1_j699n6s wrote

But NOAA predicting an Above Normal season and it barely being a normal season shows that these predictions are a coin flip at best.
