lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Snow Map. The band will first set up north of BUF and its immediate N and E suburbs than drift slowly southward over Friday afternoon but die as it crosses BUF and its suburbs only to regenerate into a nice band once it gets to about Hamburg...

wolfie09 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Euro still consistent with the colder event, 850s never get above 0 here..The euro also looks real nice for the fri morning event, 3-4" falls in just 3 hrs into parts of cny.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surface temperatures to warm, will be a cold rain until the secondary cold front goes through. The last 2 synoptic storms should 850s way below this area, yet was very cold rain. We need an arctic high to the north but with this MJO pattern, not gonna happen. Devin, you are hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Its warmer in western ny then c/e Ny due to the original primary to the west, if the 2ndry develops quick enough temps will have a hard time climbing..Heres the gfs surface temps(1 of the warmest models) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Anyone paying attention to what some of the models have been doing for Friday in the CD/Hudson Valley? Secondary low sets off some light/mod snow beginning down in PA and moving up through the region. I think it was on the 0z GFS...then both the 12z GFS and NAM had it. Not sure if the Euro has it (have been tending to a newborn, so haven't had much chance to check the international models on my computer). Anyway...could be a nice 2-4" event in the making?

Buffalo Bumble Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 BUF more optimistic for metro area in this afternoon's discussion. I think all of us would take a low end advisory event at this point if this pans out. OUR ATTENTION WILL THEN TURN TO THE NORTHERN STREAM SYSTEM AND THE ASSOCIATED INTRUSION OF ARCTIC AIR WHICH WILL SURGE INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE SHARP FRONTAL ZONE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. HARD TO IGNORE MODEL CONSENSUS WITH FAVORABLE DOMINANT SURFACE LOW TRACK NORTHWEST OF THE AREA ALLOWING A WELL ALIGNED SOUTHWEST FLOW TO DEVELOP INTO THE AREA IN A STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION REGIME. LAKE EFFECT PARAMETERS ARE BECOMING QUITE RECOGNIZABLE FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT LAKE SNOWS IN FAVORABLE SOUTHWEST FLOW AREAS FRIDAY...IMPACTING THE BUFFALO AND WATERTOWN AREAS. THE STEERING FLOW LOOKS TO VEER TO WESTERLY FRIDAY NIGHT FORCING THE LAKE SNOWS SOUTHWARD. LAKE PARAMETERS LOOK TO BE PRIMED AT THIS TIME PERIOD WHICH SHOULD BRING THE HEAVIEST TOTALS DURING THIS TIME FRAME. -- End Changed Discussion -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wx4cast Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 NAM even colder IMO I think the NAM is TOO COLD on the front side of the storm Anyone paying attention to what some of the models have been doing for Friday in the CD/Hudson Valley? Secondary low sets off some light/mod snow beginning down in PA and moving up through the region. I think it was on the 0z GFS...then both the 12z GFS and NAM had it. Not sure if the Euro has it (have been tending to a newborn, so haven't had much chance to check the international models on my computer). Anyway...could be a nice 2-4" event in the making? EC has had it on and off for a while now..even showed signs LAST week on its LR charts. Could be a convective type event with the upper air low/vort and arctic air all coming together in time and place..interesting for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 BOOM DEVIN! If they are saying the same thing Thursday night then you can boom me. I will admit its looking better but still nothing is eye popping. If anything prob an advisory event from the Boston Hills N'ward... Things can still change for better or worse.

woolymammoth Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just saw that the predicted high for MLK day (Monday) in BGM has gone from 18 to 36 since yesterday.. I don't think this qualifies as the "pattern change" that has been anticipated for Thanksgiving weekend/mid-December/Christmas weekend/mid-January. Jeesh.

BuffaloWeather Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Latest NAM is a beautiful thing for WNY... Several inches of synoptic snow and a 12-24 hour window of W/SW flow of LES following that synoptic snow. Hopefully it pans out, but this is the first model to bring synoptic snow into the equation.

I agree IF this run of the NAM were to verify we would be in a beautiful winter wonderland here in BUF, and would start making up our deficit for the year very nicely. Not saying that I agree or buy this run but I'm starting to jump on board a little bit that this event may be the biggest event for the BUF metro area so far this winter (not thats much at all). I really wanna see what the 00z GFS and EURO have to say , and if they show similar set ups to the NAM I want to see what the models are showing tomorrow night. But as of now I'm getting a bit more optimistic. Still not excited though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell your being more optimistic, I see you have asked Don like 10 questions about the latest NAM haha! Even if we get nothing the anticipation has been fun and exilirating to actually have something to track and monitor on the models. The last 2 weeks have been completely boring with nothing to track! I just bought my wife new skis, so either way Sunday I will be boarding, hopefully on lots of fresh powder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was Christmas and you were expecting a brand new Corvette for Christmas only to find a 1982 station wagon with wooden siding and all in your driveway would you be very happy?
