Stash Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That's great to hear! Probably just coming more in line with the Euro, as UK has been far East with this thing from the start. 12z UK QPF up several 10ths for ENY and WNE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The "dry slot" from the degrading sfc/mid level low is now apparent on the KBUF radar. I can almost envision a scenario where it pivots towards the Southeast as it is absorbed into the new coastal system...which would prolong the snow for locations along the Lake Ontario shore. If not, this might be game over even sooner than I expected. Doing pretty good in the ROC, probably have 4 inches of cement right now. ratios are probably 8-1.

BUST here for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revracer800 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Still nothing at all here, just some very light flurries coming down. The radar to the west is blown up but it just doesn't want to move any closer to me. It's like there is a wall between the Oswego/Cayuga county lines haha. Guess it's just a wait and see game for the rest of the day. BTW added my location for the people who didn't know, it was brought to my attention so i added it, never thought of it until now. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Visibility is down to 1/2 mile now. Nice flake size, too. The wind is picking up which makes it feel "stormy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about that. There's only about 20 miles between us but it sounds like there's a big difference in conditions. It's been snowing here all day and is currently snowing moderately.

ayuud11 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Looking at the KBUF radar, that dry slot has really filled in over the last hour. About 5" at UBNORTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayuud11 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Moderate slop in S Buffalo since about 10am, but only around .75" thus far and letting up. Cruel event, go up to about the Airport and it's significantly whiter. MAYBE next time,where in s buf are you located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steffen Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Still moderate to at times heavy snow. The snow is really wet and has melted / compacted some, but I'd guess close to 6" has fallen here. Temperature peaked about an hour ago and is around 33 now. Really pretty outside with very "sticky" snow and no wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY_WX Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 1.3 inches in the last 6 hours and an inch before that so I'm closing in on 2 1/2 inches since the snow started. With the heaviest snow just to my west we should definitely verify the 4 - 8 forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 at least you got 2",it was raining earlier at dunkrik it was raining all morning here until 11am. It was 38 degrees when I woke up and it touched 40 degrees here. Hell its still 34 degrees and snow is compacting and melting as quickly as its accumulating.

Revracer800 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Just a little coating here, and the heaviest snow is within a couple of miles of me judging by the radar, Flakes were tiny tiny flakes but starting to turn to some huge flakes. Temps is around 32*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I know it doesn't seem like anything but the precip ending from west to east is not a dryslot. The dryslot occurred last night...ahead of the system. Snows will gradually fill in along the 700mb low but the rates will decrease through the afternoon as the lift shifts east. At least we should begin to cool so even the light snow can stick a bit better. It's been 1/2" to 1" an hour type snow but we've been losing over half of it to melting.

It does seem like something, so thank you for pointing it out. I was talking about the apparent break in the precipitation on the radar earlier. I'm guessing that is the deformation zone?

At least temps should cool so we aren't losing over half of what is falling to melting. the stuff further east is more associated with 850-700mb frontogenesis/warm advection.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 This storm sucks here. Sorry but to me its a bust. I never expected a ton here but I figured a solid 6" or so and never expected to hit 40 degrees this morning. I have been getting good snowfall rates but its honestly melting quicker than its accumulating. I think its gonna be a huge struggle to reach 4" storm total here.
