snowgeek Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 0Z NAM is juicier but warm. Maybe I'll go to bed early and wake up at 3am and see if it's snowing. Hey Mets....any chance precip could be heavy enough for a while for dynamic cooling to get things snowing and sticking more than expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couchsachraga Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Drove from Johnsburg down to GFL just a bit ago - 37 at 1600 feet or so, just about freezing in the valleys (1000 feet). Back up to mid to upper 30's in GFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Mets....any chance precip could be heavy enough for a while for dynamic cooling to get things snowing and sticking more than expected? Dynamics aren't going to be impressive enough to produce much in the way of significant cooling....will need to completely saturate all levels, and hope for a bit of CAA....I'm afraid that it is going to take a good deal of the night to cool the lower elevations enough (where the shallow warm air is) as wet bulbs look stubborn. Above 1200', changeover should occur quickly enough across all of NYS to provide a few inches....at most. Lower elevations might squeak out an inch of slop very early tomorrow morning....

snowgeek Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Well then, it's off to bed with sweet dreams of wet puddlely slop. My galoshes are waxed, shined and ready to go. Good luck to all tonight with this silly warm storm.

Gorizer Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I don't blame you for getting some sleep. I'm at 1,400 feet and am at 39.2 With no real cold air to draw from, and dewpoints where they are, this dog just ain't gonna hunt. Well then, it's off to bed with sweet dreams of wet puddlely slop.

BuffaloWeather Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 36 degrees, moderate rate. Changeover looks to be happening relatively soon. Hoping for a few inches by the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'll let you know if I see any reports of snow in New York State. Even places at 2k feet still just rain to the west. Obviously it's going to develop as snow in the Adirondacks, but I mean any obs to our west/southwest. 38/36 here ...drizzle. raining as soon as the leading edge came in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Light Snow and 34 in London ..more or less due west. That's the first obs I have even seen with snow. 36 degrees, moderate rate.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 36 degrees, moderate rate. Changeover looks to be happening relatively soon. Hoping for a few inches by the morning! Hate to say it cause i want snow tomorrow morning just as much as you but it aint gonna happen. Back edge is fastly approaching WNY and by the time the air is cold enough below 1200ft the precip will be on its way out. Dusting at best.

Elevation around1500-2000 feet. http://www.holidayvalley.com/HolidayValley/mediagallery.aspx?tab=webCam No doubt theyll see an inch or two outta this but man is the back edge of that precip bookin it in here. At this rate itll be clear of WNY by 2am. Got .15" in the rain gauge so far all of which is rain obviously. Another non event for the 2011-2012 season (unless you have 1500+ ft of elevation)!

BuffaloWeather Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 It wasn't supposed to be an event though...All forecast have been perfect in my area this year. That 3-7 inches we got 4.3, so far so good. The pattern just blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 It wasn't supposed to be an event though... Yes but we figured wed get at least an inch or so in BUF with maybe 2-4" with lake enhancement of Ontario. Not much of an event either way but in a dismal year for snow this was something to look foward to earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 3-7 inches we got 4.3, so far so good. The pattern just blows. Yeah perfect for YOU. I had a warning on that Dec 9th event with NWS calling for 5-9" and just managed to scrape up 2". Not coming at the NWS at all because they do a great job just saying where I am weve really gotten next to nothing so far and was looking foward to maybe seeing the grass covered up but now thats not even going to happen here.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Uploaded with ImageShack.us :cry: Just pathetic. And even the totals so far for the cities are virtually backwards And on tonights "event" the radar at KBUF clearly shows some serious bright banding going on just N of BUF right now... Temp is 37 degrees with a nice rain coming down. Back edge of the precip fast approaching now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I've got my 7.6 on the year! That one night pulling into my driveway from Eden to Hamburg the snow was deep enough to hit the rim of the car. It got me my snow "fix" for the next couple weeks. Hopefully things change soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully things change soon though. Lucky you! lol. Just a thought here, Buffalo's average to date is almost 30" and we have 3". 30" is about 1/3 of Buffalo entire winter average so if we see just 3" for every 30" thats supposed to fall we'd land up with a lousy 9" for the entire season. Now obviously I know thats NOT gonna happen but its definitly something to think about that'll make you realize just how little snow weve had so far.

BuffaloWeather Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Remember earlier this month when I said we would get 4 inches for the whole month of December and got yelled at. It seems that is completely possible now, with the forecast the next week looking like no chance of decent measurable snow! Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
