Leelee Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 About 3" in S Buffalo, sidewalks are roughly half that. I never thought we'd hit warning criteria, but Alden or something will in Northern Erie, I guess. Annoying part is how power lines are hanging. Never thought I'd want some wind during snow here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYWeather Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 2.6" here just south of Rome. rain started around 7pm, Just starting to change back over to light snow now at almost 8am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 6" here in OP. Not too bad. Brings me up over 10" for the month of November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kulaginman Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 6" on the nose here; more than I was expecting when I went to bed last night to be honest. Right now it's just OVC and 31F. We'll see if we can get some mood flakes later today when the CAA kicks into high gear on increasing northwesterly flow. There could be some additional accumulation this evening from the Boston Hills down to the Chautauqua Ridge...probably not so much for my area. One thing we will have to monitor is the possibility of rogue Lake Huron/Georgian Bay streamers oscillating back and forth across the region from tonight and tomorrow. Best chance of this will be well south and well north/east of BUF, but the local workstation ETA run out of BTV has occasionally been suggesting streamers right in the immediate BUF area. These streamers are usually razor-thin and tend to wiggle/oscillate so I wouldn't look for more than an inch of fluff wherever they set up for short periods of time...but I always find them interesting. Big story over the next couple days will be the return of the wind and cold, really. Probably one of the colder Thanksgivings in recent memory.

kulaginman Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I'll share a few pictures; two from this morning before the wind really started knocking the snow off the trees, and one from yesterday shortly after the snow started. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Nice! Getting a few wet snowflakes mixing in now. You can actually see some bright banding on the Albany radar over central Albany county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leelee Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Ended with about 3.8" in S Buffalo, probably a bit low because it's consistently melting gradually. Other than sticking to power lines, this storm was optimal. It's beautiful outside, everything is white, was fairly easy to clean up and roads are fine.

kulaginman Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Nice little Georgian Bay streamer setting up in portions of Niagara, northeastern Erie, southwestern Genesee and Wyoming Counties: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayuud11 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 A general 4-6" fell in the metro area,not bad at all for a first event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesnichols1989 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Four inches here in Noreastern Erie county, NY. Good streamer developing from Lke Huron with Lake Ontario connection in northwest flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kulaginman Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Some weak multi-banded LES appears to be setting up along the south shore counties of Lake Ontario right now, but judging by the orientation of snowbands upstream (to the lee of Georgian Bay) I think there might be a subtle s/w crossing the Niagara Peninsula that is about to turn the flow more north northwesterly. This will shorten the fetch across Lake Ontario and at least temporarily disrupt the ongoing lake activity: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesnichols1989 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Interesting banding going on here, LES band setting up shop over Northeastern Erie County, NY, Amherst, NY and northeastern suburbs of Buffalo Metro area getting some very good snowfall right now, probably an additional 1.0-1.5" of snow already on the ground.

Where are you currently located? I remember a few years ago where I received 6 inches from a streamer off of Huron in Amherst in just a few hours. Sometimes these little events can surprise people as they are virtually unpredictable! The band looks pretty stationary as of this moment, might be nice little surprise event.

I remember a few years ago where I received 6 inches from a streamer of of Huron in Amherst in just a few hours. Sometimes these little events can surprise people as they are virtually unpredictable! I was telling my brother about that event today - I don't remember exactly when it was, but I do remember hearing about it. I think as much as 8" of super fluffy snow may have accumulated near the airport! These events always intrigue me. I wouldn't expect 6" or 8" tonight, but the Georgian Bay streamer does appear to have taken up residence across the immediate northern/eastern suburbs of Buffalo, including the airport. The vis at the airport is currently down to 3/4SM which will definitely accumulate, especially considering this is now a low density snow. Will be interesting to see how much accumulates overnight. No snow here in Orchard Park, just mostly cloudy skies with a temp of 23F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kulaginman Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The 00z NAM is a little more robust regarding QPF with tomorrow night's little event...now depositing upwards of 0.30" liquid equivalent over northern Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties. Boundary layer winds become a little too weak to support bands that will penetrate much beyond the immediate lakeshore...but there's a little more than just lake effect going on here (note the small disturbance which has prompted winter wx advisories across northern Wisconsin tonight). Within the true lake band, there could be a seeder feeder effect from the mid-level clouds associated with the small synoptic disturbance overhead.

No snow here in Orchard Park, just mostly cloudy skies with a temp of 23F. Yeah, it really is weird how the perfect wind direction can setup very nice streamers across northern Erie county. Here in Hamburg we never get snow on a NW flow. Looks like the band has been stationary and intensifying a little bit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayuud11 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 About 2" so far from this streamer still light to moderate snow outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny rider Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 2" lake effect overnight, temp 17F and falling now. A classic mid-winter morning in November. I'm looking for us to go wire to wire winter this year in upstate NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 The airport picked up 3" from that little streamer last night! Congrats to them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 In Weedsport for the holiday. About 3" of fluff here overnight. Sweet mid-winter conditions out there today with occasional heavy squalls moving through and temps in the 20's. Happy T'giving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kulaginman Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 4" from a synoptic storm and it's the top story on your local newscast. 3" from a Georgian Bay streamer and nobody takes notice. Gotta love it... Anyway, no snow here in Orchard Park overnight. It'll be interesting to see how the mesolow feature evolves on Lake Erie this evening...the local workstation ETA out of BTV is cranking out 1.76" QPF in a 3-hour period over northern Chautauqua County this evening, which is clearly overdone but I wouldn't be shocked if this turns into an advisory event for the immediate lakeshore. Tough call on the northward extent of the meaningful snowfall this evening, but southern Erie County could get in on the act as well. I doubt the Buffalo metro area sees anything of significance.

kulaginman Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Nice steady snow started here about an hour ago...big fluffy flakes with absolutely no wind.
