ORH_wxman Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I need to be back at Cornell for this event. This reminds me of an earlier version of April 8-9, 2000 when I was a freshman out there. We were 60F in the morning and then by evening it was blizzard conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 We have achieved FROPA...... Down from 47 to 43 ..... and now 40 Wow...cold front getting close to ALB. I think we'll crash here on the west slope of the Berks sometime this afternoon. East slope will probably stay warmer longer as this is a shallow cold air dome bleeding in from the NW and it will take some time to spill over the crest at 2K. Front will probably get hung up somewhere near there for a while as second wave rides up along it. You look good for a nice snow bomb tonight. I may be getting loads of ZR as I think the cold air dome will be quite shallow out this way. I do think we may get some light snow accums on the back side on the west slope of the Berks as wave #2 pulls away. East slope a tougher call as to whether or not this happens...

I think the 2nd of those storms gave Ithaca a lot of rain taint...there was a really sharp cutoff in W NY in that. The first one hammered ITH though. I wasn't there yet to see it, but people said that was the first time they had closed the school due to snow since the Mar 1993 superstorm. The April 2000 event was pretty awesome though. It was like 60F and then blizzard conditions 12 hours later. The snow went powdery pretty quick. It dropped into the low to mid 20s after only an hour or two of paste 30-32F snow. I think we got about 6-7" in it but it was blowing everywhere in high winds so it was tough to measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I get to ITH off and on for court records etc. and they often are a bit of a snow hole downtown near there... but I always notice a sharp increase up on the plateau as you head east toward Dryden. I guess Cornell benefits from being part-way up the hill anyway. I think the 2nd of those storms gave Ithaca a lot of rain taint...there was a really sharp cutoff in W NY in that.

I guess Cornell benefits from being part-way up the hill anyway. Most of Cornell sat about 400 feet above downtown. There was often a sharp gradient. Though even Cornell itself was in a relative snow hole when compared to Cortland and across the ridge over by Trumansburg. But it got better the further NW you got. Even ITH airport was better than Cornell...and of course infinitely better than downtown near the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate losing even a flake of snow so I know how you feel. Just think about snowier happier times. There is still more snowy weather in this season, just a minor set back.

Logan11 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 That is a beautiful campus. I drove through it last summer after some work downtown... So much nicer than the 1960's era modernesque stark campus of SUNY Albany where I went. One time (around Feb. 2003) I got hired to research a guy who went to Cornell and I went into the library there and looked at their old yearbook collection. I found him in the 1910 yearbook. It is huge ...could get lost driving through there. Most of Cornell sat about 400 feet above downtown. There was often a sharp gradient. Though even Cornell itself was in a relative snow hole when compared to Cortland and across the ridge over by Trumansburg. But it got better the further NW you got.

radarman Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 The GFS shows 6"+ liquid here in the next 7 days, and a textbook snow to flooding rain event for the valley by the end of the week. Front hangs up and runs a train on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 It's not going to be a very gradual cool down. The warm sector is running warmer than guidance and the cold sector is running a bit colder. The key will be the timing of the sfc fropa. The front just went through Whitling, VT (about halfway up the state along the NY border in the Champlain Vly). Take a look at this temp drop over 20 or so minutes. http://www.wundergro...sp?ID=KVTWHITI1 yes the front is incredible for sure helluva ride up here the last 24 hours, one of the most impressive rain to snow transitions ive ever seen, with no problem sticking on pavement immediately despite the water logged roads with little runoff and ponding. from rainstorm to snowstorm in 30 minutes flat.

Mr Torchey Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 rain has ended for the time being, and radar shows a fairly lengthy break, skies are brightening hopefully make a run towards the mid to upper 50's if the sun can pop out. 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
