Aquarium of NiagaraFourth year of Aquarium of Niagara and NOCO’s unique winter weather outlook   

Niagara Falls, N.Y. (Nov. 3, 2023) — For the fourth year in a row, the Aquarium of Niagara teamed up with local full-service energy company NOCO to deliver this year’s winter weather outlook with a unique weather prognosticator, Stryker the harbor seal. According to Stryker’s prediction today, Western New Yorkers can expect a cold winter.  

Stryker knows something about weather because he and the Aquarium’s other rescued seals spend winters in their comfortable outdoor habitat where they naturally adapt to all kinds of extreme weather conditions. He has also gone three-for-three in his annual weather predictions, with Western New York experiencing a milder, cold winter in 2020 and a frigid one the last two years.
