lakeeffectkid383 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Apologies for my supercrap photog skillz. This at least shows the accumulation on the streets. Side street was bare at 8AM. St. Mark's Church is about 1/8 mi away-- that's my "heavy snow" visibility landmark. Intensity has picked up in last 10 mins (since picture as taken), by the way. thats a nice sight to see. You have a good amount more snow on the ground there than here. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Flipped here about 30 minutes ago. Coming down pretty good right now - estimate close to 1"/hr with good flake size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNash Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 occasional flakes mixing in with moderate rain in West Seneca now. Weather in WNY is just a freakshow, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNash Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 thats a nice sight to see. You have a good amount more snow on the ground there than here. Congrats! We probably had about 4 inches after sublimation/melting/settling from last weekend and the weaksauce half inches this week. But the streets/sidewalks had been clear.

WNash Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Coming down pretty good now. It looks like we're under the 35-40 dBZ returns passing through the metro now. Sadly, that looks like the only really decent intensity that we'll be seeing, unless things develop more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNash Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Mother in Amherst sent me these pics. Nice! I decided not to work up at my office at north campus today. Easier to get home if I'm already home. My wife is up there, I'll ask her what she's seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wx4cast Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 You bring up a good point Dave. The lake plain certainly seems to be an issue with most models with these type of situations (Dieing primary)...... Not so much because WNY was ever going to get much precip from the initial lift of moisture, but the ramifications of a warmer profile due to deeper LP penetration into the lake plain (vs. model progs), may surprise many (not all) out that way wrt pingers. At work we discussed this too even as it relates to ENY the lows coming in from the west often are warmer than modeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy_wx Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Just a few flakes here with a temperature of 27F. The 14z RAP has some impressive totals for Orleans and western Monroe counties. That area seems to be in a good spot on the southern edge of some 850 mb frontogenesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steffen Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Wow. I'm surprised about the rain not far south from me. Never had any rain here (Delaware Park), I believe. Moderate to heavy snow for the past maybe 1.5 to 2 hours. Guessing about 3" down so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leelee 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
