vortmax Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 KBUF AFD compared it to the April 2003 event which gave ROC one heck of an ice storm. Environment Canada mentioned that it could be quite significant in Southern Ontario as well. As the models keep trending colder, this gets more and more interesting.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I'd be concerned about decent power outages and damage in the Niagara Falls/Lockport corridor, just above the escarpment. The euro came in coldest yet on the 12z run....doesn't break us out above freezing until about 06z overnight Thursday night.gotta work in Wheatfield tomorrow near Niagara Falls Blvd and Ward Rd for those fimilar with the area, could get bad out there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champy Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Cold and wet. Yuck http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/index.php I'm convinced last Spring ruined my mindset as what I should expect from CNY springtimes....hopefully this isn't a repeat of the flooding in the spring of 2011. The worthless mosquitoes were terrible that early summer. The only good that came of it was the waterfalls in Lick Brook were roaring in May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Down to 32.5 in west seneca already. Some of the northeast burbs and more rural areas have to be below freezing i'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 All the trees have a glaze on them now, but nothing touching the earth is freezing at all. Pretty cool to see freezing rain during the daylight hours during the second week of april. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FULLAUTO Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 these aren't severe thunderstorms, I'm not sure what you want? Just consistancy is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Just consistancy is all. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have put the storms in the HWO no matter what time of year it was. They only put it in there if there is a risk of severe weather (large hail/strong winds/tornadoes etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Looks like some northern areas in Niagara to Monroe County got 0.25" of ice. Not bad for April 11th during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Just got back from a week in Miami last night. Was 85 and sunny every day. Came back last night to 34 degrees and snow when we were flying. My body nearly went into shock. Looking forward to a little bit of warmth this week. Hopefully soon we can make a consistent pattern change to spring type weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came back last night to 34 degrees and snow when we were flying. My body nearly went into shock. Looking forward to a little bit of warmth this week. Hopefully soon we can make a consistent pattern change to spring type weather. Nice today with 67F here and partly cloudy. Thursday and Friday should be fairly warm, depending on cloud cover, with a possible severe threat on Friday. Instability right now looks pretty low on the GFS (up to between 500-750 J/kg) with some warmer air at mid levels associated with an EML-like feature. The winds look nice with veering at low-levels and significant shear between the surface and 500 mb. Here's a sounding from the GFS for 18z Friday near SYR.

OSUmetstud Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 81 degrees at BUF NWS. Great call OSU, didn't see anyone calling for low 80s, but mid 70s. Thanks, it's a classic warm downslope event for BUF. Always go well over MOS with a strong southerly. I was a bit worried this morning with all the cloud cover, but with the strong ridging it cleared out and we went to town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
