ontario squalls Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hopefully...I'm flipping between setting up my screens for tomorrow's market and this LES band. Exhausting. I have to get up early also and bring kids to school (Phoenix almost never closes...). Then a 1/2 day at work - more day trading and so on and so forth... Hey Gravestone, welcome from a fellow daytrader. These 9am to 11am work hours are tough, eh? Heavy stuff just arrived at my house around 7am.

Logan11 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 3 inches here since last night. Now it seems as if the main band is sliding north, but will it be back later? Season at 13"....

Syrmax Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hey Gravestone, welcome from a fellow daytrader. These 9am to 11am work hours are tough, eh? Heavy stuff just arrived at my house around 7am. Dude! I'm at work now at nine mile - absurd rate of snow. Absurd. I daytrade when I can...mostly swing trading. My chit's been getting hammered last week or so. Too many MoMo positions. Grrrrr. we picked up an additional 7" at my house last night - total ~18". I think they've got near 10" on ground here already. It's irrelevant - can' t see anything. Drove through it - major suckfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way a band is supposed to look....and it really only has that "perfect structure" when oriented between 230-290....all else is usually a bit less organized.

WNYLakeEffect Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 IDK...I think BUF might be alluding to something: BUT NO SIGNIFICANT SNOWS EXPECTED...AND...NO LAKE EFFECT!DISRUPT ANY REMNANTS OF LAKE EFFECT. DRY AND CHILLY WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW FLURRIES ...SO NO LAKE EFFECT... BUT NOTHING MAJOR. AND NO LAKE EFFECT.

Right on time...every year... i think they underestimating that Saturday band lol "THIS PERIOD BEGINS WITH THE LONG LIVED LAKE EFFECT ACTIVITYCONTINUING OFF BOTH LAKES...MAINLY ON A WESTERLY FLOW...WHICH LOOKS TO BACK TO 240-250 BY SAT MORNING AND FURTHER TO 220-230 BY SAT NT. PARAMETERS WILL BE DECENT AT FIRST...WITH GOOD SNOW GROWTH RATES AND LITTLE SHEAR...BUT 850 MB TEMPS WARM TO -9C OR SO ON SATURDAY AS SHEAR INCREASES AS A WEAK RIDGE TRIES TO BUILD NORTH FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. SO DO EXPECT LAKE SNOWS TO LIFT NORTH INTO BUF-IAG AREA ON SATURDAY BUT TEND TO WEAKEN. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE SAT NY AND EVEN INTO EARLY SUNDAY AS FLOW BACKS EVEN FURTHER...BUT THESE THINGS ARE TOUGH TO SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. WILL THEREFORE INCR POPS TO LIKELY NE OF LK ERIE FOR SAT AND GRADUALLY TAPER DOWN TO CHC SAT NT AND SLGT CHC SUNDAY. AS FOR ACCUMS...WITH CONDITIONS SO MARGINAL...FIGURE POTENTIAL FOR 1-3 FOR BUF AREA SAT...BUT WOULD NOT BE TOTALLY SURPRISED TO SEE A BIT MORE. WILL MONITOR."

Syrmax Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Nice! That's the way a band is supposed to look....and it really only has that "perfect structure" when oriented between 230-290....all else is usually a bit less organized. One thing I've noticed over the years...not all "yellow" radar returns are created equal. Generally the same reflectivity was over my place last night and near Oswego today...way more intense snowfall up near the lake & north of here. Not the first time I've observed this. Looks like the fun n games is over for a while...if the various NWP schemes are correct. But I put little more credence in 7 day NWP output as I do any guess on where the stock market will be in a week. And that isn't much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontario squalls Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Buffalo NWS was really discounting the band being pushed south. But it has been completely pushed to the south shore at the western end of the lake. Looks like I'll pick up another 2-3 in the next 2 hours.

winter_rules Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 We received 11" of small flakes Mon-Tue to make a nice dense base. Today we received 10" in about 6 hours. We are back up to 17-18" on the ground. Now it's snowing again. It's about time those city-slickers shared the white gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 How far north of Syracuse is the airport where the measurements are located. If the Buffalo airport was located as far north as syracuse's south of buffalo. The totals each year would be 150+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Lake Effect is so localized that the Syracuse airport, where they record the snowfall amount, can get 10 inches of snow but downtown Syracuse just gets a dusting. So, the location of the airports are very important. Syracuse's airport in located 6 miles north of the city and is very close to the main snow belt region in Oswego County. Buffalo's airport is located just south of Amherst's border, far north of the main snow belt region in the south towns. Rochester's airport is located in Chili, but I'm sure that Webster gets much more snow than Chili. A few years ago there was talks about Syracuse moving its "snowfall measurement location" from the Syracuse Airport to Camillus because Camillus gets almost 30 inches less snow in a "normal" year than the Airport does.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hmm.. This model puts out about 1 inch of QPF around south lancaster,Elma and West Seneca. I think its overdooing it a bit but I could still see this as a solid advisory event with 4-6 inches possibly up to 10 inches in spots in those towns between late tonight and Sunday around noon. I think it will be one of those events that are underplayed untill the band starts forming and then BUF puts up advisories as its already snowing at an inch an hour, which later may be needed to be upgraded to a warning depending on the strength of the band. Just an opinion though. Also think there may be an advisory event for Niagara county (especally the southern half) as the band lifts north Saturday evening into Sunday morning. Could see a nice 3-5 inches IMO. Looks like the immediate BUF area may get screwed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band looks pretty healthy right now in S Erie county - we'll see how well it hold together as it moves north later this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I read somewhere that Lake Erie is down to 34 degrees. I'm thinking it may still be milder than that in the open areas of the lake..anyone have those SST maps for the lakes? If it is cooling that fast - you WNY people better get all the snow you can while the getting is good. c'mon,i want more than 3-6 to satisfy meh lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
