OSUmetstud Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 love the 3" difference between Lancaster and West Seneca at 9pm...7" vs. 4". Methinks that's not reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Facebook people taking measurements, do you honestly trust them? nah...I don't think the airport should be all the different from me and they had 3.3" as of 745pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that dry slot will fill in? Or make it north to the Niagara Frontier? Or will the band begin to pivot more in comparison to heading directly north to south?

Or will the band begin to pivot more in comparison to heading directly north to south? It will pivot a bit...more toward a SSW to NNE orientation.

OSUmetstud Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 those narrow yellow bands on the radar near the lake ontario shoreline are probably a bit of lake enhancement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 those narrow yellow bands on the radar near the lake ontario shoreline are probably a bit of lake enhancement. Buffalo northward is getting pounded and I agree looks like some lake enhancement kicking in. That dry slot is about 50-60 miles from me currently, going to be cutting it quite close! Going to need to start pivoting quickly to avoid it to maximize totals at this location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 you don't have to worry about a true "dryslot" it's just the cutting off of heavy precip dynamics as the storm moves east. The thing in CNY is the dryslot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACFD FIREMAN Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Starting to rip in Lake Placid. Virga held for 2 hours but once it started it has come down good. Decent wind as well. People up here are very fired up....locals are saying this is a big storm even for up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Glad to see WNY getting the brunt, long time coming. Perhaps it's climo but the interior is long overdue for some rough winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 agreed.....glad to see WNY get smashed so happy for them meanwhile i am getting ready for my first vermont snowstorm....an eerie calm across this quiet town in sleepy vermont. locals have been talking for a couple days.

steffen Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Man, this is almost getting ridiculous. Was outside one more time, and the snowfall rate had increased yet again! This is easily 2-3" / h stuff, and it's still coming down right now. Almost zero visibility (without wind). Haven't seen anything like this in a synoptic storm yet. This is shaping up to be one of my all-time favorites. Probably added around 4" just in the past 2 hours. Should be getting close to the foot mark. What a night!!!

What a night!!! this is def one of most favorite synoptic storms. About a foot out there and still ripping 2"/hr with whiteout conditions. This one will go right behind March 2008 on the best synoptic storms in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
