Revracer800 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Another 1.5" since my last update. So about 5.5" so far... blowing around like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 If you look at the regional composite radar it appears that we might have a 4 lake connection right now. The band starts over Superior, crosses northern Michigan, Lake Huron then Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 12"/hr rates. Wow. Make sure that gets reported to the NWS. Thats incredible! NWS has 1-3" tomorrow and 3-5" tomorrow night for me here which is more than I expected. Also has wind chills to -15 Tuesday and Tuesday Night. Pretty wintry week ahead.! I think we may get a nice surprise tomorrow. Hopefully midnight models agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 12"/hr.....remember at that fall rate, there would be tremendous settling....rates are what you measure....and that is a 4"/20 min.....if it fell exactly at that rate for an entire hour....it'd probably come in at 9"/hr.....(depending on wind, flake size etc....) That said, he has 14" total for the since 4pm....still with vis at less than 1/8 mi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarbear Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Left Fulton around 4:30 pm in heavy snow. Drove through the heart of the band between Fulton and Hannibal - easily 2"/hr. Went from heavy snow to sun in less than a 1/2 mile just south of the Rt 104/34 intersection. Looks like the band edged slightly south since I drove through. Will be surprised if someone doesn't break the 12" mark near the Fulton/Hannibal area. Ahhh rt 34. I had some nail biting rides on that stretch of road few yrs ago. Espeically between 104 and 370 is it, in Cato.. Never had been on the road before, rolling at about 100,000lbs in a load semi, in the dark and heavy lake effect snow....WOW! I thought those hills were going to be the end of me.. Rev, do you live south of 104 on 34? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The eastern end has sagged south to here now with steady light snow. The echoes seem to be weakening though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Steady SN here now, nothing outrageous, I'd estimate 3/4 to at times 1"/hr rate, about 1" down, near Three Rivers in clay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Drove through that around 8PM on 81 S. Hardest I've ever seen it snowing while driving. One point 15mph on 81 through at least 4" on the highway. It was nuts. Back here to Skan. and it's moonlit and bare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Here's a shot of L Ontario earlier today just south of the SUNY Oswego campus, close to the time when the 77 mph gust was recorded at the nearby pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 All 3 news stations are predicting the band to make it maybe as far north as Metro Buffalo tomorrow before sinking back to the southern tier tomorrow night. Maybe pick up a few inches tomorrow afternoon. Also looks good Weds night for a bit of LES, as well as the synoptic storm Thursday into Friday.

OSUmetstud Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Well it certainly looks better for BUF than it did a day or two ago. All that I can say is that BUF should get some LES tomorrow. Whether it's 6" or 1/2" is still up in the air lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 lol well there was a certain hockey game earlier followed by work until 10. HAHA! It was a great one as well! Hopefully we can string another win tomorrow against the Leafs! How intense do you think the band will be? You think it will drift into Metro? Also are the steering winds directed from purely land breeze. (Won't go very far inland?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How intense do you think the band will be? You think it will drift into Metro? Also are the steering winds directed from purely land breeze. (Won't go very far inland?) yeah it should get here....most likely time will be around 00z just as the shortwave passes. Also, maybe in the morning around 12z. And I think it will be pretty intense...but the duration is the issue. While 850-700mb winds are good for BUF just about all day...the surface wind backs in the morning....then veers again in the afternoon...then backs in the evening. The afternoon veering is caused by the induction of weak cyclogenesis extending not only from Georgian Bay...but all the way SE to near Long Island. NAM BUFKIT has a classic LES signature in the evening with good omega centered in a saturated SGZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much you thinking for the area if the band stalls for a few hours in any given location? Latest WRF shows .75-1 inch QPF(obviously overdone) over the south towns for tomorrow.

BuffaloWeather Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 which one? The ARW one from 12z? That was a bit of a weenie run. Last 2 runs of ARW. HRW showing around .5 around this area.

The ARW is getting a bit too happy with LES...especially in the afternoon tomorrow. Notice the big difference if you look at the NMM core. I'd go negative on Wednesday afternoon/evening. It's only the NAM that's showing that really strong shortwave. The Euro and the GFS don't have it, therefore they don't back the winds nearly as much as the NAM. While the NAM is nice at picking up LES bands within 24 to 36 hours...it sucks balls on general synoptics at that range compared to the global models.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 LES warning for areas south of BUF. 8-16" in most persistent bands but even 6-12" here in the southtowns of BUF (Hamburg,OP,EA) according to NWS. Kind of surprised to see they didn't hoist an advisory for Northern Erie for 3-5 maybe 4-6" if it makes it up to West Seneca or even downtown... Wind chill advisory also issued for wind chills below -15F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Woah very surprised right now. Woke up and checked radar and theres not much on radar and everything that is is south of me but I just looked out the window to everything covered in about 1/2" and moderate snow coming down.

heavy_wx Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 There's a definite land breeze circulation right now over Lake Ontario with northerly winds on the north shore of the lake and more southerly winds on the south shore. There is also a bit of a land breeze signal over Lake Erie, though there aren't as many surface obs on the northern shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got about 13 inches here in Brewerton most of which fell between 8 PM and about 2 or 3 this morning. The narrow band set up over southern Oswego/extreme northern Onondaga counties and remained steady state most of the night. I got an unofficial report from my niece about 4 miles west of Central Square of 30 inches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakeEffectKing Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Seriously what is going on with radar? Easily an inch as fallen already. Very often as LES events wind down in a cold profile, the lowest levels (below radar level) will still be able to "hold it's own" as levels above dry out. (ie...you're snow is coming from relatively unstable, shallow, low levels.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ie...you're snow is coming from relatively unstable, shallow, low levels.) Thanks! A BAND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO HUG THE LAKEERIE SHORE FROM NEAR ANGOLA SOUTHWEST TO RIPLEY THROUGH LATEMORNING. SNOWFALL RATES OF 1 TO 1.5 INCHES PER HOUR ARE LIKELYWITHIN THIS BAND. ROADS WILL BE SNOW COVERED AND SLIPPERY ANDVISIBILITY WILL BE REDUCED TO A QUARTER MILE OR LESS AT TIMES.
