ayuud Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 NAM is considerably cooler than previous runs for the first wave for C/N NY(still a cold rain for me and CNY, it appears)...and plasters most of Upstate and S. Ontario nicely with the 2nd wave!! (Yes, with snow!) We might have bonified WSWatches up by tomorrow!!!! Yea for us! it's a bit weaker compared to the 18z though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayuud Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Totally agree - regardless of where the heaviest snow sets up, looking forward to watching the atmosphere respond to the bowling ball cyclone pass nearby on Friday AM. Arctic air moving in combined with high winds and bursts of snow is always a good way to start a day... nothing better than a 2-4" with some 40+ gust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 And BuffaloWeather said he had a good feeling about the lake effect. Now what Richard!! BOOM!! What do you mean? 2-4 inches is a "Boom" in my opinion... Thats 33% of my total snowfall of the winter in one event...Either way ski country looks to receive 1+ foot of LES? So thats a "BOOM" for me since im a boarder and a snowmobiler, and your just a "look out the window mom, its snowing type of guy". Have not been able to snowmobile all year, need a good foot+ base in the trails in Eden/Boston hill area. Went skiing a few times already, but nothing beats a foot of fresh powder on the slopes of holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Went from a low of 28 a short time ago up to 30 now. CAD doesn't looks to save us much this time out this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Temperature just went up to 35 from 31 about a half hour ago a few miles nw of ALB. Yup...ALB skyrocketed 9 deg in the last hour as SE wind picked up. Wasn't expecting much with this thing anyway...oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yup...ALB skyrocketed 9 deg in the last hour as SE wind picked up. Wasn't expecting much with this thing anyway...oh well. Kinda sad we are looking at these marginal events to kick up our measly snowfall total thus far... So far our snowiest month is October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 At some point the sleet went back to a good snow ...as I'm sure it did up there as well. Right now snow and 30.7F. I estimate about 1.5 inches of snow/sleet accumulation on the deck. 32.0 No more snow... it's a sleet fest now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil882 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Very wet snow here in downtown Albany. Still though it's accumulating... seems like we are approaching a half inch. If you want to trust the hrrr we have another 1-3 hours before we see the full changeover so we might be able to scrap a few inches out of this event... Which was above my expectations.

Logan11 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 30.2 and moderate snow, plus the wind is blowing a lot. I measured 2 inches around 25 minutes ago. All and all ...a lovely night.

phil882 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Looks like we are about to get a pretty potent band.... 40-45 dBZ returns. Will be interesting to see if this is the beginning of additional bright banding that leads to a changeover or just heavier snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Those heavier echoes seem to be just east of me unfortunately, but still a nice snow. About 2.5 inches now.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Well what do you know...1st inch since October...1.5" here in Colonie to be exact. I figured it was over when the temp shot to 37 last night...happy to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it was over when the temp shot to 37 last night...happy to be wrong. Yep... quite a surprise given where we were... the 00z KALB sounding did show plenty of dry air aloft, especially over the 925-700mb level, which I think really helped allow the profile to go isothermal for a longer period of time, as we saw quite a bit of evaporational cooling for the first few hours of the event.

QG DIAGNOSTIC FIELDS ARE IMPRESSIVE WITH RAPIDLY INCREASING VERTICAL VELOCITIES OVER THE CWA AND STEEPENING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES.

IN FACT...TEMPERATURES IN THE WAKE OF THE FROPA SHOULD DROP BACK BELOW FREEZING WHICH COULD RESULT IN BLACK ICE FORMATION WHERE SURFACES ARE NOT TREATED. LINGERING SURFACE TROUGH AXIS AND DEFORMATION DYNAMICS OVER WESTERN AND EASTERN NY COULD PROLONG THE SNOWFALL WHICH WILL BE MONITORED CLOSELY.

SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW /AND BLOWING SNOW/ ARE POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF THE MOHAWK VALLEY...SOUTHERN DACKS.
