LakeEffectKing Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Crazy we have picked up about 5" in the past 3 hours. Wow.

Buffalo Bumble Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 thinking all of Erie county lands up with 12"+. Think someone in Erie county may hit 18". Awesome storm finally. I’ve been enjoying this one since the first flakes starting falling around 4 PM. First few hours were great with steady snow, maybe ¾”/hr. range. Like LE Kid has been posting, the real fun stuff started around 7 PM with huge dendrites pouring from the sky. Just measured an average 10” IMBY, expect I’ll end up topping 12” with this one before it’s over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Believe it or not it looks like some of that dry air just south of Springville and toward the PA line is beginning to fill with more snow in the last few frames of radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Same here, Snow, heavy at times, 5 inches and 22.3F. About 5" on the ground but making up time fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Snow intensity should start to decrease over the next hour or two from the 1-2"/hr rates to more like 1/2" hr rates. Still think we should pick up another 2-4" on top of the foot we already have here by the time this thing is over for good tomorrow afternoon. Still snowing hard here (prob 1 to 1.5"/hr) but it should be decreasing soon. Radar does look like its filling in to our south but the rates dont look to be wuite as heavy.Im off to bed now. One last pic out my bedroom window as of 10 min ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowgeek Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Same here, Snow, heavy at times, 5 inches and 22.3F. Just came in from a walk. 5" here too. Been a steady 1"/hour for 5 hours. Great storm so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowgeek Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Radar filling in nicely in SE NY. I assume in response to deepening coastal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 About 4" here at 25/23 with light snow. Looks like some lighter precip is coming towards ALB in the next couple hours, possibly with some heavier precip currently over the lower Hudson Valley reaching us later.

Syrmax Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Getting blasted pretty good in vcty of SYR now...dryslot really wasn't much here....looks like 10-14 should easily verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorizer Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Albany... OVER THE NEXT 3 HOURS...WE WILL HAVE TO CLOSELY MONITOR THE INTENSE BAND OF PRECIPITATION ALONG THE NJ SHORE...EXTENDING N TO NEAR NYC. EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS BAND ARE SOME CONVECTIVE FEATURES...WITH OCCASIONAL CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES NOTED. THIS BAND IS POISED TO PIVOT N/NW OVER THE NEXT 3 HOURS...BRINGING HVY PRECIPITATION TO AREAS NEAR AND ESP W OF THE HUDSON RIVER. P-TYPE LOOKS TO INITIALLY BE RAIN/SLEET...BUT AS IT SHIFTS FURTHER N AND W...TOWARD THE CAPITAL REGION...IT MAY BECOME HEAVY SNOW. WE MAY NEED TO BOOST SNOWFALL TOTALS CONSIDERABLY FOR AREAS N AND W OF THE CAPITAL REGION...ESP ACROSS THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY AND ADIRONDACKS...DEPENDING ON HOW THIS AREA OF CONVECTION TRANSLATES.

Logan11 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 They already have us getting like 10-15 tital In think. Hard to believe we would exceed that range. I'm probably at 5.5" now..possibly 6". So we need these heavier bands just to get into the 10-15 range. Albany...

Syrmax Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Easily 1-2" / hr right now near SYR. This is from a convective band that rotated up from NJ area tonight. One idea that was wrong...no down sloping off the Catskills. It appears the CNY precip minima forecasted on GFS/NAM won't verify, or if it does, in a negligible way. Good job by NWS BGM in their AFDs, minimizing that idea. Haven't measured but guy up the road had almost 7" 3 hrs ago and we've had SN, SN+ since. Edit: wonder if the GFS/NAM were actually just too robust with the dryslot, or at least it's northern extent. BGM has definitely suffered from it, good call by those that warned of it on that area.

kulaginman Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Departed from BUF at the height of the snowfall intensity. Arrived in BOS to heavy rain and temps in the mid 30s. At least I got to enjoy part of the storm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 This next band about to drive NW thru SYR really looks to pump up the volume. This is fun, vacation day tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Glad you made it safely! Seems crazy to take off a plane in that... I see the PL are being reported about 25 miles SE of ALB in Columbia County. Hopefully we avoid it out here. Good snow now and 24.4F. Nice conveyor seems to have set up bringing it up from L.I. and NJ. Departed from BUF at the height of the snowfall intensity. Arrived in BOS to heavy rain and temps in the mid 30s. At least I got to enjoy part of the storm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 KALB AS OF 3 AM EST...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IS BEGINNING TO CONGEAL ONCE AGAIN FROM ALBANY AND POINTS NORTH AND WEST. FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST...BANDS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWARD...ALONG WITH SOME EMBEDDED CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES OCCUR OVER THE NEXT 1-3 HOURS FROM ALBANY SOUTH AND EAST WITHIN THESE BANDLETS...AND PERHAPS ONE OR TWO WITHIN THE CONGEALING AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW TO THE NORTH AND WEST. THROUGH SUNRISE...IT APPEARS THAT...OVER THE NEXT 3 HOURS...THE HEAVIEST SNOW SHOULD IMPACT THE CAPITAL REGION...MOHAWK VALLEY...AND THE LAKE GEORGE/SARATOGA REGIONS...WITH SNOWFALL RATES OF 1-2 INCHES PER HOUR...WITH PERHAPS SOME ISOLATED HIGHER RATES. EXPECT ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL AMTS THROUGH SUNRISE OF 3-6 INCHES IN LOWER ELEVATIONS...AND 4 TO 8 INCHES ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS...ALTHOUGH ISOLATED HIGHER AMTS COULD OCCUR. FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST...COLDER AIR HAS DRAINED SOUTHWARD BACK ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY REGION AND NW CT. WE EXPECT VARYING TYPES OF PRECIP THROUGH SUNRISE IN THIS REGION...WITH SOME FREEZING RAIN...OCCASIONALLY CHANGING TO BURSTS OF SNOW AND SLEET. ADDITIONAL ACCUMS THROUGH SUNRISE OF 1-2 INCHES COULD OCCUR IN THIS REGION...ALONG WITH A COATING TO UP TO ONE TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE ACCRETION. ACROSS THE BERKSHIRES AND SOUTHERN VT...PRECIP THUS FAR HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT AND FAIRLY LIGHT. WE EXPECT THE AREAL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF PRECIP...MOSTLY SNOW AND SLEET...TO INCREASE THROUGH SUNRISE...WITH ADDITIONAL ACCUMS OF 2-4 INCHES LIKELY IN MOST AREAS. SOME SLEET/FREEZING RAIN COULD OCCUR BETWEEN BANDS...LEADING TO A COATING TO ONE TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE ACCRETION. SUNRISE THROUGH NOON...WE EXPECT AREAS FROM THE CAPITAL REGION AND AREAS NORTH AND WEST TO REMAIN WITHIN THE DEFORMATION AREA NORTH OF THE MID LEVEL LOW CENTER AS IT TRANSLATES EASTWARD...SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND. ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF SNOW...SOME MODERATE TO PERHAPS HEAVY AT TIMES...SHOULD LINGER THROUGH THIS MORNING. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL ACCUMS FROM DAYBREAK THROUGH NOONTIME OF 2-4 INCHES WITHIN THE IMMEDIATE CAPITAL REGION...SOUTHERN VT AND NORTHERN BERKSHIRES...AND 3-6 INCHES FOR THE MOHAWK VALLEY...LAKE GEORGE/SARATOGA REGION...WITH 4-8 INCHES EXPECTED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS. FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST...MOST ADDITIONAL ACCUMS SHOULD REMAIN UNDER AN INCH...WITH 2-5 INCHES ADDITIONAL EXPECTED IN THE SE CATSKILLS BY NOON. NOON THROUGH SUNSET...THE DEFORMATION AREA SHOULD CONTINUE TRANSLATING EASTWARD INTO NEW ENGLAND. HOWEVER...THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT HUDSON-MOHAWK CONVERGENCE...WHICH IS LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE THAT OCCURS IN THE WAKE OF DEPARTING COASTAL LOWS FROM THE COMBINATION OF A DEVELOPING WEST/NORTHWEST WIND DOWN THE MOHAWK VALLEY...AND A LINGERING N/NE FLOW DOWN THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY...MAY LEAD TO ANOTHER 1-3 INCHES OF SNOWFALL IN THE IMMEDIATE CAPITAL REGION. OTHERWISE...FOR TEMPS...HAVE GONE COOLER THAN BOTH THE MAV AND MET MOS...WITH MAXES ONLY REACHING 30-35 IN VALLEY REGIONS...WITH 20S ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS. IT WILL BE WARMER INITIALLY ACROSS S/E AREAS THIS MORNING...FROM PORTIONS OF WESTERN MA INTO NW CT AND THE MID HUDSON VALLEY...WITH TEMPS POSSIBLY FALLING THEREAFTER.
