Definitly don't see how thats possible as they are getting bombed in the southern tier especially Allegany county. Maybe the dry slot will reach Catt and Alleganycounties later while we stay in snow?

Logan11 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 About five years ago I was hanging out outside Penn Station in NYC and he was doing live shots for the Thanksgiving travel situation... I just stayed out of their way and watched as I waited for my train up to ALB. It wasn't exactly that exciting LOL , but a novelty. Mike Seidel is at the airport!! I want to go see him! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kulaginman Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 NWS calling for more snow across Niagara Frontier then Southern Tier I think this is a good call. I'm now sitting at the terminal at BUF waiting to board my flight back to BOS. What started as a 6:42 departure is now a 9:00 departure...but the plane is en route from Ft. Lauderdale, so we'll see. I think it's going to be coming down pretty hard at 9PM so hopefully we can actually get off the ground. Sitting at an airport FTL. I'm no longer excited about this storm ha.

sferic Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 HJre's hoping we stay all snow here in Liberty NY, 2 inches new snow on ground, 23 degrees. Plz no ZR or sleet oe a dry slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I almost never fly such short hops. I like the open highway. You may be there a long time... I think this is a good call.

Logan11 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Maybe you can avoid ZR.. Sleet isn't so bad on top of a good dump of snow. This is one of those deals where you probably get a lot of snow first so the eventual sleet may not deprive you of much in total accumulations.

kulaginman Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I almost never fly such short hops. I like the open highway. You may be there a long time... I lease my car, and I make a ton of trips from Boston up to the mountains of VT/NH for skiing, hiking, etc. Didn't want to put 1k miles on in one shot! If it's snowing to beat the band at 9:00 they'll probably just cancel the flight at this point. Fortunately my Dad is willing to drive through the storm to come pick me up! Hopefully those heavy bands down in the Southern Tier take their time getting up here. It's actually not snowing that hard at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakeEffectKing Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Neat goings on off L. Erie (per CLE radar)....a well established LES (enhanced but more LES than synoptic, I'd surmise) band oriented E-W and slamming extreme S. Ontario....south of London and St. Thomas....

WNYwhiteout Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The snow down south of Rochester has gotten a fluff factor to it. We must be getting into some really good ratios. Its down to 18. It is piling up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny rider Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 It's really ripping here in central NY. No sign yet of the dreaded dry slot. Is all the orange and yellow south of us in the mid-Atlantic actual convection, or is it sleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Very little ..maybe an inch in most spots. Rick, you starting out with any snowcover on the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Seeing the stuff organizing off Erie ("reverse LES") leads me to believe that some area between ROC and IAG are going to push 2'....once you obtain a lake induced convergence zone over L. Ontario (originating in a favorable concave genesis point near the mouth of the St. Lawrence River), along with the synoptic scale lift and great moisture profiles, I wouldn't be surprised to see some 4-5"/hr. stuff along the souther L. Ontario shoreline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Maybe Orleans County. Nice little rural county out there I "very ocasionally" get to for wills and other records. Flat as a pancake terran-wise.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Easily 1" an hour right now if not more. Huge flakes. Got 4.5" on average with 10 measurements on the ground ranging from as little as 2 inches to as much as 12" . Almost a complete whiteout right now.

DeltaT13 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Noticed they dropped the WSW for CLE...radar looks weak there... It was actually a blizzard warning. So they went from Blizzard warning to WWA... However, they did get pummeled rather hard for a few hours this afternoon so maybe it was warranted for a time.
