WNash Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Woah, my point forecast (3 mi ESE Kenmore) just got bumped up to 1 to 3 tonight, 6 to 9 tomorrow. Are we being broad brushed or is this for real? EDIT: I think you just answered my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steffen Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 All right! Let's hope for the best. Have been let down too many times in the past several years here - bands falling apart right in front of my eyes, getting stalled a few miles south, swinging through in no time, or never materializing at all due to one or another factor not working out as planned :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakeEffectKing Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Good luck WNY'ers! Getting clocked here pretty good in L'pool at the moment...about 3.5" since 5:30...8" total since last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the Buffalo airport is the prime spot for this event. Its 16 degrees out and the snow just started falling and looks to be the type of snow that is going to accumulate really fast. If that band holds together all the way until tomorrow night and remains strong someone is going to get clobbered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got about 6" here all between 10pm and 1am. 3". most of that fell in the last 1:20. We had like 1/2" on the ground when I left work in Lackawanna at 1210.

OSUmetstud Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 It does look like it will get to Niagara Falls for a period of time later this morning early this afternoon..kinda disappointing. Even the mm5 now has the band up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bumble Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ya the new run of the BTV 4km WRF has the band go NORTH of Niagara Falls and even north of Lockport for a time tomorrow. Crazy. 9" on the ground here. Not sure when it started - woke up to about 3"/hr stuff at 5:30 am, it's since backed off a bit. Still heavy snow, over 1"/hr. Almost forgot how quickly L Erie can produce here in the north towns - it's been a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNash Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I woke up to about 6.5" that fell between 1:30 and 7. No snow falling here now (nr Hertel and Main) now, but I can typically see the tower at Kenmore and Colvin, a bit more than a half mile away... nothing. Can't see it. It looks like I am JUST outside where that band has been parked for the last hour. I'm hoping it'll drift SE just a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope for your sake it does move every so slightly south again because it sounds like you just missed out on the heaviest snows which were just to your north and east.
