The Tug Hill region of NYS very likely gets the third-most snowfall of any region on earth at the elevations of 800' to 1500'. Only Valdez AK and Niigata Japan get more, though some years, the Tug Hill has likely beat them. Yet in spite of its superlative snowfall status, the Tug Hill is almost unknown nationally. Few know that Worth NY got 324" this past year -- that's 27 feet of snow -- or that in 1976, Montague got 466", (38 feet of snow). It's like an alien world up there when winter's in full swing.

The Tug Hill Plateau is wild because it gets some of the heaviest snowfall on EARTH.

There is a threat for strong (EF-2 ) tornadoes across northern IL this PM between 4 and 8 PM. The highest threat will be in the dark red shaded area. This area has shifted farther south than previously forecast. Take tornado warnings seriously. #ILwx #INwx
Headline: Threat for Strong Tornadoes Today. Sub Headline: Greatest threat will be near a remnant surface boundary this afternoon. There is a threat for strong (EF-2 ) tornadoes between 4 and 8 PM especially in the dark red shaded area along a stalled warm front. The threat for tornadoes will be highest if storms can stay discrete, or by themselves. The main source of uncertainty is where the warm front will stall this evening. It may be in northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin. Threat Zone for Strong Tornadoes 4 to 8 PM. What To Do. Graphic Created: Thursday, June 11, 2026 5:02 AM CDT

After mulling it over, I think I'm comfortable adding a zone Thursday where – conditionally –  the atmosphere could support an EF3 (intense) tornado. That's predicated on one or more supercell structures emerging within a broader batch of thunderstorms, which remains uncertain.

A powerful tornado was seen spinning near Vance Air Force Base in Oklahoma, forcing it to close on Thursday. Video shows the massive size of the twister as it moved across Enid, a city of about 50,000 people in Garfield County near the state's northern border. The tornado ripped roofs off buildings and knocked down power poles. There were no immediate reports of fatalities and only minor injuries hours after the tornado passed through, according to the Garfield County Sheriff's Office. cbsnews.com/news/tornado-roa…

With colder air in place yest. & today, some locations picked up snow and even sleet or ice pellets which get counted as snow (both D.C. and Dulles AP in VA reported a trace of sleet today). So, we thought we would dust this chart off & update it. Snow season runs thru June 30th!

The tornado from March 31st and the one last night touched down less than 1.5 miles apart! No injuries or fatalities with both incidents. If you live in Machias, it might be time to buy a lottery ticket. #nywx @news4buffalo
