the minister Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 We only have a trace of snow here in beautiful Spencer, New York....30 minutes East of Elmira and about 15 minutes south of Ithaca. Not good times, but our time will come. Congrats to everyone else in the state! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couchsachraga Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 We'll call it 3" here in Queensbury, about 1.5" (maybe 2") in Johnsburg. I saw reports of higher amounts in the Lake George / Warrensburg area. It is nice to see things "looking" like Christmas, at least for the time being. My wife likes it, for no other reason than i am less inclined to pull out my snowgun (compressor and power washers not being the quietest of tools...). I'm trying to ignore any possibilities for next week until Friday at the earliest.... which is of course why I'm checking and posting here...

Not good times, but our time will come. Congrats to everyone else in the state! Minister, nice to see someone from close by on this board. Ithaca has only a trace, we've been really let down by the NWS warnings suggesting some big snows. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roady Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 What does this mean? It’s not that it isn’t snowing. It’s just that not enough snow is likely to accumulate over a 12-hour period in the next day or so to justify maintaining the warning, said Joanne LaBounty, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Binghamton.LaBounty said she and her colleagues were “kind of perplexed” that the big lake-effect storm that weather watchers began predicting last week failed to live up to expectations.

wolfie09 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Picked up 1 1/2" since yesterday..Its taking like 8 snowfalls to get to 9 1/2" lol But its better then nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorizer Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Second straight run that the GFS is showing synoptic snow for eastern NY this weekend. The bulls eye looks to be right down along the cost though. Euro isn't on board yet, so for now it's just pretty pictures. But at least the snow-deprived hudson valley has some hope.

wolfie09 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Albany dosent seem to like the chances of snowfall for the area on sun/mon..Cant blame them lol ...EVEN THE 12Z GFS MODEL HAS THE TRACK OF THE SURFACELOW...TO BECOME "CAPTURED" BY AN UPPER LEVEL STORM...PRETTY FAR SOUTH AND EAST FROM THE USUAL "BENCHMARK" FOR A TRADITIONAL SNOWSTORM IN THE CAPITAL DISTRICT. IN FACT...THIS TRACK LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR`S STORM WHERE MOST OF OUR AREA (EVEN TO THE SOUTH) RECEIVED VERY LITTLE SNOWFALL SUSPECT THE GFS IS UP TO USUAL EAST CYCLOGENESIS BIAS WHICH WE SEETIME AND TIME AGAIN DURING THE WINTER http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=ALY&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearpass Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Well, we're working on about 8 inches so far. Here's the deck picture tonight. This was whistle free of snow by Sunday. There was over a foot left from the last round, so we decided rain on top of that wouldn't be good for the table, or the deck, so shoveled it all. I have a series of the same shot over three days from last week, so we'll see how this round matches up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 8-9 inches here since last night. Looking for another 5-6 tomorrow. 15 inches on the ground. Over 50 inches for the year here already. This has to be the snowiest start here in quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying MXZ Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 1 whole inch including yesterday and last night. Pretty dense snow for LES this far from the lake. Might get into something real if the Georgian Bay connection happens (as shown on LEK's map). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bumble Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just a quick update still a half an inch on the ground.lmao That's brutal for your area this late in December, and I'm sure harder to take with all the snow to your south. Is the Old Forge area in the same shape? Definitely not good for the local snowmobile economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyace Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Ya the rain wiped out the few inches that we had and you are right the local economy is taking a bullet, Old Forge is a ghost town, I imagine the clubs are suffering as well because like me personally I have not registered any of my sleds.

Logan11 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 That band that got Herkimer made it this far east and left a half inch. Now it has slipped a little south and pretty light here, but maybe it will waver back north. I certainly hope we can catch a break and get a good synoptic snowstorm, but I take what I can get.

FEFD17 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 The weekend storm still off?The ALB NWS is back to saying,it's looking like it may be getting close enough for a light snow now.Yesterday they were saying no way at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might...But with the big block in Canada it most likely will pass SE and out to sea...The models should have a better handle on the track tomorrow night...Last year with the big storms the models acted like this a few times; they would not give a good solution until about 48 hours out.

So we're going to be 0 fer 2 in the 1st half of December for synoptic systems. Either shunting systems out to sea or recurving up to STL Valley w/ rain. Huge blocks can be maddening. Never been a big fan of Blocks that are 3 or 4 SD's from norm. Op GFS not showing much in the way of synoptic development for the next two weeks but there's a fair chance that'll be wrong.

Logan11 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I don't even think the problem is as much the block...as it is that the southern stream (from whence this s/w was to be born) is just looking moribund on most of the models. You can't have a storm if you don't have a short wave. LOL The northern stream backs and the blocking 50/50 type low scoots out. The table is set, but there is no food..... The NE section is a sad and frustrating place now....at least this LES stuff saves me from brown ground and teens. 00Z GooFuS keeps it well S&E and offshore - everyone screwed - ala the Euro.

I agree...But with the split polar vortex, the way the NAO is trending, and all this cold air; it would be nice to able to take advantage of it.
