euro brings 2 - 4.5 inches of liquid equivalent qpf across this entire forum for the series of lows along the slow moving baroclinc zone next weekend

ottawa blizzard would get smoked with more snow than he ever dreamed possible, about 3 feet with some mixed precip thrown in for fun. :lol:

GFS and GEM also on board for a massive qpf event somewhere in the neighborhood. :scooter:

hahaha that would be cool OL....this winter has a long way to go in order to redeem itself for it's miserable, humourless, pathetic, disappointing, rubbish performance! 3 feet would be a start thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

Hey Rick,

Looks like you have a "date" issue in your signature. You have March dates for that small event over the weekend instead of February dates. :P

You may never get above freezing tomorrow - or if you do maybe after the precip. is over and the winds kick into w or nw as "colder" air comes in and slopes down off the Dacks.

Hmmm ok..I'll take a look :)

FWIW here is a nice mesonet obs link: http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/gmap.php?zoom=8&extents=40.555548,-74.108276,43.413029,-69.54895&density=1

They have the obs from upper Duanesburg that must not be too far from your place. I find that is a good obs for this area generally.

Hey, you're right! I'm maybe two miles dead west of that obs point. Thanks for the link.

...WINTER (DEC-FEB) 2010-2011...

WESTERN NEW YORK`S METEOROLOGICAL WINTER WAS RELENTLESS. ITS

CONSISTENCY WAS ALMOST UNPRECEDENTED AS A BLOCKING PATTERN WHICH SET

UP IN THE ARCTIC REMAINED LOCKED IN PLACE THROUGH DECEMBER, JANUARY

AND THE FIRST HALF OF FEBRUARY BEFORE FINALLY BREAKING DOWN DURING

THE MIDDLE AND LATTER PORTION OF FEBRUARY. THIS KEPT OUR REGION

UNDER NEAR CONSTANT COLD WITH ALMOST DAILY LAKE EFFECT SNOWS UNTIL A

BREAK IN THE PATTERN ALLOWED FOR MORE SYNOPTIC SNOWFALLS IN

FEBRUARY. IT WAS THE COLDEST WINTER IN 8 YEARS AND 4TH COLDEST IN

THE LAST 30 YEARS.

UNLIKE MOST WINTER SEASONS WHICH SEE THEIR SHARE OF EXTENDED

THAWS...ONLY TWO BRIEF THAWS OCCURRED ALL WINTER...BOTH TWO DAY

EVENTS (DEC 31-JAN 1 AND FEB 17-18) WHICH FEATURED TEMPERATURES IN

THE 50S. THESE THAWS MELTED VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE SNOWPACK WHICH HAD

BUILT UP PRIOR...BUT WERE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY MORE SNOW AND

COLD. AS A RESULT...DAYS BELOW FREEZING AND DAYS WITH SNOWFALL AND

SNOW COVER WERE AT NEAR RECORD VALUES...WHILE TOTAL OVERALL

SNOWFALL...ALTHOUGH ABOVE NORMAL...WAS NOT OVERLY SO...AND NO REAL

MAJOR SNOWFALLS (OVER 8 INCHES) OCCURRED ALL WINTER.

HERE ARE SOME STATISTICS FOR THE 3 MONTH WINTER PERIOD FOR BUFFALO...

(NORMALS)

TEMPERATURE.... 24.0 (26.7)

PRECIPITATION.. 7.74 (9.38)

SNOWFALL....... 95.9 (69.4)

DAYS:

AT OR BELOW 32.. 68 (43) ** RECORD **

WITH MEAS SNOW.. 56 (44)

WITH SNOW COVER. 86 (57)
