CNYWxGuy Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 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! Perfect. We picked up 3-4" here in West Central Broome Co. last night from enhancement off Cayuga Lake, and about another 1-2" over the course of Today. What had been a relatively snowless November and 1st week of December has been turned around nicely these past few days, and it doesn't look like we're done yet.

Once the primary Georgian Bay streamer collapses and/or sinks to your south, I think the setup looks very favorable for FLES tomorrow all the way through Wednesday. I wouldn't be surprised if at least Schuyler/Tompkins Counties are added to the LES advisory at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay streamer isn't going to quite make it to my neck of the woods. (BUF mesos drastically changed once the band was in place, and shifted it a good 30 miles westward at 18z) But it's easy to take knowing it's the beginning of winter, I have over 8" of fluff on the ground and still snowing, interesting times over the next 180hrs. plus, and 2 more weeks of work until I have 12 days off in a row!!

She made it home around 7:30, so it only took an hour longer than it normally does. Sounds like the worst conditions were around the first exit for I-490, then things drastically improved by the time she reached the second exit for I-490. If she had left MA even an hour later, the nasty conditions probably would have continued all the way into Erie County as the LES bands seemed to "fill in" behind her. And now that the NWS radars are working again, that really was one heck of a snowband slicing across Cortland and Chenango Counties!!! It seems to have weakened a tad in the last hour or so.

CNYWeather Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Pretty good snows a little north of Rome tonight coming back from Potsdam. Roads were snow covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYWxGuy Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Band just refuses to die and looks like it may be starting to shift south, although BGM seems to think it will be weakening with time here shortly... THIS BAND SHOULD BE WEAKENING SOON WITH INCREASED SHEAR AND THE LAKE HURON SHIFTS WEST...BUT IF THIS CONTINUES SNOW AMOUNTS WILL HAVE TO BE UPPED AND THE WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES EXPANDED.

kulaginman Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Nice band taking form over me...hopefully this one will become dominant: I would love to know how much snow has fallen today in Randolph and the adjacent municipalities in southeastern/east-central Chautauqua County. The band has been very steady in that localized area with persistent 30dBz echoes for the better part of the day...someone has to be closing in on a foot of snow by now.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 about an inch now with moderate snow in Eggertsville. Really nasty out there with the wind whipping the snow around. 23 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 might I add this snow is much fluffier then the snow that dumped almost 4 feet on the Buffalo Subrbs. Gotta be around 15:1-20:1 rather then 10:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNYLakeEffect Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I've always thought that my superintendent was a few fries short of a Happy Meal, but it looks like he's missing the burger and toy, too. It's almost impossible to tell how much fell. I'd guess 6", but I'll get a 2nd opinion later. It's pretty bad out there, but my street has been plowed surprisingly. Drifts are getting pretty bad.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 BTW roads are TERRIBLE. At least the side streets are. Just covered with snow, probally about 4 inches but with the tire tracks theres some 8-9 inch sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bumble Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Radar looking really good. Good obs from you guys in N Erie County. Had about 4 inches when I left for work with heavy snow falling. Very tough driving conditions on the Niagara Frontier this morning - the heavy part of the band is cutting right across the 90/290/33 intersections.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 7 inches now in Eggertsville,NY. Complete whiteout. These pics are about 15 minutes old. Its easily snowing at 2-3 inches per hour with how fluffy this stuff is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
