CNY Mike Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Fresh guidance: Next 36hrs. + are going to be fun: Impressive how it looks to make it all the way into Madison county. Hope y'all down there get loads of snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kulaginman Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I think the NWS (both BUF and BGM) with upgrade many areas in their respective zones. The dendritic growth has been very good. I have 5.5 inches total (4.5 on the ground) since last night. I'm very interested in your reports today, George. My mom and my brother came to visit me in MA this weekend, and they're currently traveling back to Buffalo via I-90. They left my place at 11:20 which would ordinarily put them near SYR around 4PM or so. Is there any blowing/drifting out your way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNYWxGuy Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 What is the deal with the NOAA site, anyone know? No AFD updates from BGM since 633AM, homepage is not reflecting the upgrade to the Advisories-Warnings, and radar has been Out of Service all day. Looks like NWS Cleveland and State College having similar issues. Kind of frustrating when there is a period of active weather on-going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need that band sitting over Gerry (pronounced Gary) to move 3 miles south. Mayville's got to be getting pounded right now. Steady SN here with variable flake size.

WNYLakeEffect Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 The band is finally moving in. Now let's see how long this lasts. BUF has 6-10 tonight and 5-9 tomorrow. 12z NAM stayed pretty similar for QPF at KJHW (just to my NE). I'd love a snowday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I came in here to post this Link (King City Radar) but see you beat me to it. This is a spectacular Georgian Bay connection. I had that super band lock in over me for a few hours this afternoon and picked up a quick three inches. Its all or nothing though with bands that strong, the subsidence around them will be devastating to some. I'm currently in between bands so I'm hoping things stay somewhat transient. Its been several years since we had such a prolonged period of deep arctic air while the lakes were still very warm. In fact, I would assume that most of the lakes in Ontario aren't even frozen yet. And the Delta T's on the big bodies of water look pretty tasty. This should be a good show the next few days. I'm good too with the radars (not going through NWS sites). Georgian Bay bands are intense and beginning to orient/rotate themselves....Head's up Wayne Co. in the next few hours: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about telling her to do that, but 20A is a road that is particularly prone to drifting. They aren't getting the snow like Rochester is, but there's a pretty good snowpack in western Wyoming and Erie Counties from last week's storm...and my dad is reporting strong winds back home in Orchard Park. If she stays the course on the Thruway, it looks like she'll see a drastic improvement west of Batavia. Doesn't look like much is happening from there all the way back through the Buffalo area.

CNYWxGuy Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 This has to be one of the more impressive LES bands into the heart of CNY that I've seen in a few years. Some heavy snow all the way into the Catskills this Evening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some heavy snow all the way into the Catskills this Evening... I'm thinking that band could migrate southward into the Tri-Cities area ~12z tomorrow morning. Could be a very squally start to the week in BGM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
