As I read that, I noticed I was indeed picking my nose..

How embarrassing..

Could have been worse. You could have been picking your nose with scissors as you were running up and down stairs.

I skip over a lot of threads whose title doesn't interest me too. In this case I skipped over this thread until I was bored and just had to find out what don't meant...

Now it's fixed to avoid any further confusion...

Hope Lake Lodge, well, I know they've been pushing dirt around (a lot of it) for quite some time now and plan to start the hotel early spring. My understanding is that all the monies are in place, all permits, eco studies and all that stuff are done. They've had good luck pre-selling some condo's so things are looking like full speed ahead. Also, this entire project has a lot of locals wondering why in the hell would people would vacation in Virgil NY. I for one REALLY hope they make it in hopes MY property taxes go down!!!

The best is when the band off of Ontario is heading right over Skaneateles Lake (a finger lake) which really feeds it BIG TIME and we get pounded. The only problem with that is sometimes it can be VERY heavy, but after the wind drys it out that's when you want to go. Not alot of vert, but, at times alot of friggin snow.

....GP being in the lake effect snowbelt. Lake effect is like a "finger" (sometimes only a mile or two wide) that clearly shows up on doppler. The finger coming off Ontario rarely swings that far down due south and hits GP. More commonly it's heading due east to Tug Hill plateau (Snow Ridge). It does swing down into Syracuse frequently, and touches Tog, Lab, and Song as it waggles around.

But, generally, I think of the big snows that hit Tog, Lab, Song, and GP as the large general regional storms - perhaps boosted with some lake-ish effects.

Lake Erie's lake effect "finger" is a long way west, and one would think Bristol would get some of that on the way if it made it out this way, but Bristol struggles with much less natural than the South of Syracuse areas.

Anyways, no doubt GP gets some good storms, some big pow days, but if they do, I think for the most part the other Syracuse areas are also being hit.

Tug hill, in the primary drop zone for Ontario Lake Effect......they get significantly more icing on the cake. Always have, always will. Now if we could just get that earthquake that lifts the Tug Plateau about 4000'.

Just my .02 from 40 years skiing in this area. I'm not a weatherman, nor do I play one on TV.
