lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 well it's starting to look disorganized,still think 1-2 inches for the city. Ayuud i think we will be hard pressed to see that in the city untill the NW flow sets up with the -20 850s then maybe a Georgian bay or Lake Huron connection will drop us a quick 4 inches of total fluff. Winds are definitely shearing the bands apart tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Fropa much later over here and I'm already down to 35 degrees.... I'm waiting to see some impressive snow totals from WNY ...to calm my boredom. well it's starting to look disorganized,still think 1-2 inches for the city.

BuffaloWeather Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 i was in the jackpot zone with that event,once in a lifetime event though@! Downtown Received 15 inches from that storm, which is close to the lakeshore. However, just a few miles inland and places received 10 more inches then the lakeshore.

StatenWx Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 They shut them down when the winds are this strong or they would explode literally lol. One did somewhere in England there was a pic from a storm in late November early December I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, just a few miles inland and places received 10 more inches then the lakeshore. yeah...that's pretty typical even in mid-winter events with very cold temps. The band seems to continue to intensify even as it moves over the land. We often see the max amounts 5-15 miles inland from the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I thought I saw a flash to the northeast out of the window. Nice...must be the help from the synoptic lift because the lake-induced instability is pretty marginal right now. I've had a couple texts from friends in the Buffalo 'burbs reporting some thunder and lightning the last hour or so. Definitely a powerful synoptic influence at this point in time.

Yeah definitely, that explains why the averages of the Buffalo area increased so dramatically when the recording station was moved from Downtown to the AIrport. I guess it has to do with Orographic lift. Along with improved measuring capabilities as you pointed out earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing that the difference from downtown to near my house and the Airport is nearly 150ft. Pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with improved measuring capabilities as you pointed out earlier. it could be orographic lift...but you're only talking about 100 ft difference between the lake shore and the airport. we did some research on this at SUNY Oswego and we hypothesized it may be that inland from the lake shore is the ideal location for frictional band consolidation and glaciation. The mixed cloud of supercooled water and snow flakes may accrete and aggregate just inland and "snow out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Move to the Chautaqua ridge or tug hill. Don't move there, there is next to no jobs unless you work at a ski resort. Move to springville, only 30 minute drive to downtown. Kids dont take into affect jobs and work, those are extremely important! As well as your daily commute, lol.
