phil882 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Just went over to sleet which is mixing with rain... very quick changeover... maybe 5 minutes or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Still snowing hard and blowing here. Now down to 28.4 degrees.... Just went over to sleet which is mixing with rain... very quick changeover... maybe 5 minutes or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Still snowing hard and blowing here. Now down to 28.4 degrees.... Weird... guess your elevation at Knox might be helping temperature wise... Meanwhile we are now back to a sleet/snow mix... so the changeover wasn't quite as smooth as originally suspected. It seems we are getting more sleet in the lulls and more snow in the heavier bands (like what we are witnessing right now.) In any event, it seems like after this next band, things lighten up quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying MXZ Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Nutin but rain here Sleet/rain mix at my house at 5:30. Plain rain in Delhi. I had about 1/2" of snow/sleet at my place and the back roads are a mess. 2 hour school delay. Low last night of 33.0° and 33.6° now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 28.8 now...moderate snow. Measured a shade over 4 inches. I can see we are down to about an hour and then a lull with whatever remaining stuff probably being of the mixed variety. We certainly made the most of this event! Everything is relative in wx.... in a winter like this, it feels like we just had a blizzard. LOL Last year it would have been bleh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Still all snow here and 31. Goin to check my board, but on my deck alone there's a solid 4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It is light snow now ...as we are in that semi-dry slot. 29.1F. I measured 4.4 inches just now. The bottom half inch is mostly sleet so that gyped out of another inch of accumulation maybe. Still all snow here and 31.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 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! Haha your something else. Go back to posting pictures of your wife.

BuffaloWeather Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Haha your something else. Go back to posting pictures of your wife. I won't give you the pleasure of looking at a good looking women. But either way point proven.... (You would get less depressed watching all the snow in ski country if you actually skied/boarded/snowmobiled. If you did these things, no matter where the snow hits in WNY you will be happy, try it sometime its fun!) It gets rather annoying seeing you flip out on every weather forum if you don't get the max snow accumulations in Eggertsville, which averages far less snowfall then nearly everywhere south of your region. Logan congratz on the snow! Thats why you cannot always rely on models, because they were showing rain in your area with this first system. You ended up getting Advisory snow accumulations with this system as well as the one to come tomorrow as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 2.5" here...maybe a tad more, not sure when the changeover started. Looks beautiful! Short lived of course, snow alredy melting and falling off trees. Hoping tomorrow brings us a surprise or two as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorizer Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Wow! Stunned to wake up to about 5 inches of snow here! 32.0 Don't have time to snowblow - have to run off to a conference... I hope we don't get much rain later or else I'll have a driveway full of very heavy cement mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM if you want but I'm not posting anymore of this garbage on here. Agreed! At least we have something to look forward to tomorrow, I do not think there will be enough snow to snowmobile in...Not a year has gone by without going, yet this year it might happen. I agree with you in 2-4 inches for most of WNY, unless some embedded LES develops. This might occur and Mike pointed it out in his AM cast. If you think about the instability needed to generate LES at a disparity of 13C between the lake and aloft. Although the lake is 39 degrees recorded from the NWS at 30 feet, most of the lake is still around 40-43 degrees. This may create enough instability along with synoptic enhancement to get a good embended band going earlier then thought.

Prob 2-4" for metro total, 3-6" for Boston Hills, and prob 6-10" total for ski country.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couchsachraga Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 3" here in Q'bury, 2-2.5" in Johnsburg from what I hear. Packy, wet snow. 34 degrees here (Q'bury) now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom12309 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 3" (I think) in my driveway in Schenectady about what, 400' above sea level, 32.7 degrees (roughly) at 6am.

snowgeek Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 2.5" here. I can't beleive it changed back to snow this morning. I'm in Voorheesville now (392') at it was snowing up until 10:00 am. Now it's lightened up and it's a mix of snow....wait....now it's back to snow. Isothermal soundings ftw. I guess mid level dewpoints up north were forecasted too high and the coastal was just strong enough to tap into the drier air and mid levels causing enough evap cooling? Yay!

lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Ice Storm Warning for Jefferson County especally near the 1000 islands. I used to stay up in Clayton,NY for vacation every year. It’s gorgeous up there. Hopefully it doesn’t do too much damage but a 1/2″ or more of ice with snow on top could do some damage for sure. http://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=NYZ007&warncounty=NYC045&firewxzone=NYZ007&local_place1=Watertown+NY&product1=Ice+Storm+Warning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I finished with about 4 and a quarter" in Rotterdam. About half that when I drove to Albany. Either way, I'll take it this winter.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Still 34 with a sleety/slushy mix. First plow able snow of the season really...the 2 events in October didnt really accumulate on pavement. Also, the 2-hr delay gave me a chance to build a snow mountain/slide for the kids...perfect consistency for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 You know it never changed to rain here. It redevloped as heavy wet icy snow. At times we get light and it goes to mostly sleet. Gained another inch to 5.5 total now despite compaction. 31.6F and a light mainly wet snow now. .... Still 34 with a sleety/slushy mix.
