Visiting family in Springville-- snow up the 219 past Hamburg was heavy, low visibility with wind. Maybe 1.5 inches on the ground here in town. Some power outages. We saw a flash around Boston off the 219, not sure if it was lightning or a transformer blowing.

Looks like we're done here, though we may get a quick squall with the actual trough passage. I'd estimate about 1/4" on non-paved surfaces.

funny you only have 1/4" though as someone in Boston (near Emerling Chevy) at only 1000 ft has 2" and experienced a good amount of thunder and lightning. Cole road at 1600ft must have about 3-4".

It wasn't really elevation driven, it was location driven. I just drove down to that dealership in Boston after going to the gym in the Town, they had around 2 inches of slush. I used to clean that dealership a few years ago. Its about 6 miles south of North Boston. (CVS/Brunners Intersection)

Springville looks to be getting hit pretty good.

We left Springville at about 9:30-- not much additional accumulation around Genesee Road, somewhere under two inches with light snow falling, so I assume that band is trending south. The 219 had been plowed by the time we headed back. But that drive up there around 8PM had some pretty impressive snow coming down. Good to hear that our lightning had corroboration.

Elevation certainly was a factor, though, as my temperature never dipped lower than 34F. In fact we're still holding at 34F, though the dewpoint has slipped back into the 20s. Hopefully some of those SHSN's crossing through Southern Ontario can add a little to my paltry total after midnight.

nothing here this morning. Nada.

That band sure is cranking just south of us :/

Genesee Rd. just north of Springville is like a whole other world...what a snowy place.

yep just like the southern end of Cole road in Boston/Colden. The northern part of Cole road is in OP at about 1000 ft and sometimes they can have no snow but when you drive just 5 or 6 miles south on Cole road your elevation increases to 1600ft and there can be a foot. Crazy gradients.

Yes, I'm still very interesting in snow possibilities from the south towns all the way up to the north towns at some point during the day tomorrow into tomorrow night. I'm about to head out the door to attend to family business for most of the day so I can't really comment at the moment, but right now I'm envisioning a band organizing near the Chautauqua/Cattaraugus/Erie County line around 7AM then quickly lifting across the south towns, through the city, and into the north towns by early afternoon. It may become temporarily disrupted with the passage of a s/w later in the day, then reorganize over the north towns and slowly settle southward again during the evening.

My flight back to BOS departs at 6:42 tomorrow evening so hopefully things don't get that crazy ha! More comments late today...

The 12z NAM has a pretty snowy period for areas east of Lake Ontario from Sunday into Tuesday morning. There will probably be some kind of single band throughout most of that time with a pretty moist layer up to at least 800 mb, although the activity looks weaker for Monday morning with warmer mid levels and drier air.

Whatever band that does develop will be oscillating to the north and south with multiple surface shortwaves moving through the region. The most intense activity right now looks like it will be Sunday afternoon into the late evening, with another period of more organized lake effect Monday night.
