lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Anyone see the LES off a southwest flow coming off Michigan? Sign of things to come? =P Don't tease me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Anyone see the LES off a southwest flow coming off Michigan? Sign of things to come? =P looks like a meso low over the lake. I don't think that shortwave will be enough to turn the winds southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 There could be some light WAA snows on Sunday night though the NAM and GFS don't have any precip, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I measured 6.5" on the ground. Obviously some lost due to compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I measured 6.5" on the ground. Obviously some lost due to compression. Where abouts do you live? To get an official measurement ( Sometimes not always possible) Your supposed to get a flat surface such as a snowboard and measure it every 6 hours, clear and repeat until the event is over. I was able to do that for the entire storm, because as you mentioned this snow compressed quite a bit. The NWS reported 8-9 inches which is less then areas reported just around because the NWS does it the proper method. Also back to snowing again, large flakes. Total of 13 inches for this storm so far and counting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I measured 6.5" on the ground. Obviously some lost due to compression. It'll probably compact more over the next week or two! And then a few days later............ Are you freakin kidding me!!!?? Really??? 580+ heights for Upstate in late Jan???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 http://wxweb.meteostar.com/sample/sample.shtml?text=kbuf Thursday another possible LES event for KBUF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 muwahaaaaa...580 DM over us in late Jan. Break out the golf clubs...actually never put them away....L'pool was open till this winter nonsense came out of nowhere. 13-3/4" at 10 am and prob another inch today so far. not bad for a WWA event. . I might be at 20" for the season but haven't added it up yet. Yeah....I forgot how to add up snow totals from different events....do 6 "T's" + 13.5" equal more than 13.5"?? BTW, I was SO tempted to hit the links on NYD.....it would have been my first Jan golfing experience in NYS....which would have only left Feb as my only non golfed month in NYS....but I might still have a chance by later in the month...

Logan11 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Bet my 5 1/2 inches of concrete from Thursday outlasts the LES that fell. LOL .....as we get into the torch week....

Well, half of our total was of the semi-concrete variety....so we may have more staying power than you typically would perceive us to have! That said, us LES folks may "luck" into a few more inches next week, but I bet we all will be green again by the end of the month at some point. (Maybe not the Tug.....)

Logan11 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 That LES band overnight had some nice inland reach to it. Unfortunately I slept through it, but it must have been a nice 30 minutes as that swept south through here. Almost 1.5" of the fluff fell. 14F and mostly clear now. Mmm 0F right now across northern NY. Looks like a cold night on tap.

WNYLakeEffect Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Despite almost no returns on radar, we have moderate snow here. Storm total is 10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Despite almost no returns on radar, we have moderate snow here. Storm total is 10". Happens alot of times during the last stages of an LES event.....cap lowers, meanwhile llv moisture is still present (at condesation level) and there is just enough height into optimum snowgrowth region, which just happens to fall below the detection level of an NWS radar. Alot of times Montegue and Binghamton's radars show nada over CNY as cold (moist) arctic air moves in, and shows almost nothing....meanwhile Channel 9's radar (closer in proximity) is lit up....

lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Holy ****!!! 34 inches in Perrysburg. Wow! http://www.crh.noaa.gov/product.php?site=buf&product=PNS&issuedby=BUF&format=ci&version=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leelee Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I've always wondered why Perrysburg is such an LES magnet. It's not even at a high altitude compared to the Amish areas just south and the Chautauqua Ridge. You should move there, Devin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even at a high altitude compared to the Amish areas just south and the Chautauqua Ridge. You should move there, Devin. It's probably in a favorable location...right along the maximum of where bands set-up. Areas further south get less snow even though they have higher elevation. Little Valley only average like 125" maybe a bit more because it's too far south and some of the band is snowed out before it gets there. Alleghany County sucks for snow even though they have plenty of elevations over 2000 ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYS and Erie county really suck with taxes. I love the Sierras. You either get dumped on with 10 feet of snow in a week or sunshine. It's great.

Alleghany County sucks for snow even though they have plenty of elevations over 2000 ft. Imagine if Perrysburg had elevations like Allegeny county...Let's say 2500 feet. That'd be an extra 1000 feet than their current elevation and they would prob average 300" a year and they prob would have had 50" from this event instead of 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Perrysburg is in the perfect place as OSU stated for the increase elevation (Being on the Chat. ridge). Along with being in the perfect place for nearly all wind directions besides SW. They can get hit with W/WNW/NW wind directions. Albeit W/WNW is the preferred and dominant wind direction nearly all winter long around here. Combine that with proximity to the lake/elevation/orographic lift, you basically get the perfect spot for heavy snowfall in WNY. Here is Devin in his new home following college, I wonder what hes going to do for work up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely wouldn't want to live in the desert, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
