Storm At Sea Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 For those that are interested, it looks like Jim Cantore is reporting from Orchar Park Country Club down off Rt 219. I was going to run down there real quick, but I have patients scheduled straight through this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Still ****ing raining and 35 degrees at 745 am. Roc is already having breaking limbs from the snow.. You gotta be kidding me. BUST!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Its hard to tell, but I'd say we got 2 or 3 inches overnight. Some pretty large trees down in my neighborhood and all the rest of them are sagging significantly. Luckily things are starting to melt quick. We were on the cusp of a real tree disaster here....phewwww, close call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bumble Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Transitioning over to more snow than rain here at the moment. Will be interesting to see if we can manage anything more than a slushy inch or two at my relatively low elevation during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think some of you guys are being weenies. While the amounts may have lowered especially in lower elevations, this was ALWAYS dependent on getting the band to set up. I know many have said that. It's also why we have ranges so perhaps the lower end will verify. When you live and die by the deformation band..you mostly die. That's usually just a narrow area that gets into the goods. This will continue to mostly be a high elevation event and still looks to hit the high terrain near BFD and OLE pretty hard. Anomalous events have busts all around and it makes it difficult to forecast. I know I specifically even said BUF has to get that heavy band because if it's like 1-2SM -SN..it will not do much.

NorEaster27 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 About 3-5in of snow here on campus impressive, I bet only a dusting downtown. I remember tax day 2007, that was a historic storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Very true. I know when you see all this QPF you get excited, but if 1" is spaced out in 24hrs...that means maybe 0.25" every 6hrs. That's not going to do much in terms of heavy snow. So, you try to diagnose other things like where the best banding will be. Still looks like BUF and points south will get into it, but you are also fighting daytime insolation. Makes it tough for the low spots, but yeah this possibly could be a little disappointing for lower elevations. But give it a chance and see what happens. The band is setting up now.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Flakes are starting to turn to more real flakes rather than big wet globs falling like rain.
