BuffaloWeather Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 There is a band moving in from the west over Lake Erie that will likely produce snowfall rates of 2-3+ inches per hour with over 40dbz returns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 For about 15 minutes it lightened and you could tell the flakes had been falling through a warmer layer...icy in nature. Now back to a good moderate snow+, 27.5F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Looks like totals are being upped all over,, utica now saying more than a foot. from their local tv, here's an article running now covering the weather. notice the photo, then the last sentence about the truck, "The truck apparently dropped its load of salt," he dropped his whole salt box!!! http://www.wktv.com/...-116912168.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm thinking it could be a pretty brief thaw Monday... Snow to ice ..then that quick spike in temps , squall line and flash freeze Monday evening. Sux because it will wreck the quality of our snow for snow shoeing, but certainly won't wipe out our snow pack. the one weknd over the past 2 months I cant go north and monday looks very :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revracer800 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Under performer here in southern oswego county so far, has been snowing lightly most of the morning with brief heavy burst but so far only about 2" maybe 2.5" with some gusty winds. Looks like the heavy totals are west and south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwinter23 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Appreciate the obs guys. I've had the pleasant challenge of trying to forecast the Greenbush/Albany to Saratoga Springs corridor for this event. It has turned out to be much colder solution compared to yesterdays models at this time, and I had 8-14" for that corridor, including Albany, which I sent out this morning. At 9:51am kALB reported its 5th inch with this storm, 12" on the ground. 5-6" sound about right for you guys in the area right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Oswego County is JUST too far north for the bands we've been getting. Buffalo/Niagara to Rochester and up to Albany in a line, have been under very nice bands the past few hours. Storm is DEF. a bit west, looks like it'll track over rockland county, not over NYC/LI/SW CT.. the slightest bit of difference means the world up in buffalo in terms of how long it snows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if the deformation band pivots and lifts up a bit more in your area... So it aint over till it's over....

jayyy Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 As the storm begins to pull Northeast, the deformation band will pivot to Syracuse/Oswego/Fulton area... youre going to LOVE it. this band has been stationary and straight DUMPING snow. 6.5 inches of snow in the past 4 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revracer800 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Brandolino on 9wsyr said that heavy band might weaken by the time it gets to the oswego/syracuse area but i'm still hoping the snow picks up. The snow has almost completely stopped here now so my hope is fading fast lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 This is one of those rare storms that is dumping on the entire 90/Thruway corridor from Buffalo to Albany, and points north too obviously. I'd guess a good 5/6" here in the city. Will be heading back home shortly, so any further measurements will be taken there, about 20 miles NW of Alb.

Avid6eek Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 :snowman: :snowman: :snowman: , 29.9F, and it looks as though the dryslot will remain south of the CD. What was expected to be a very slushy event 24 hours ago is a couple inches short of being our biggest storm of the year. This snowpack should ease the flooding fears for Monday's event at least to the NW of the CD. It will have the ability to absorb a good amount of rain and then flash freeze.

vortmax Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I think we're benefitting from higher ratios as well. I'd say we're at 14:1 right now in KROC. On a side note, it's funny to see that last night, the models were really pulling the QPF from the Niagara frontier, yet they will probably end up with the highest totals...

Logan11 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Well Andy didn't bust anywhere near as much as poor Bob K. on channel 13. he had 1-3" forecast for the CD on last nights 6:00 PM news. He did up it at 11:00 PM..... Andy's new map puts 12-16" IMBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
