ayuud11 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 ya theres no way any additional ice is forming on the lake today despite temps being below zero. The wind and waves are way too much to allow ice accumulation today. There was patchy ice all over lake when i was driving on the 190N earlier,i think this is the it for Lake Erie man!

ayuud11 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Has it stopped snowing in Hamburg and Orchard Park? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yes.yep, only light snow just starting back up here, still blowing all over though creating whiteouts in spots. Anyone have a guess on accumulations for Hamburg/OP when the band comes back south? Ill go with 4 more inches. I certainly agree with BuffaloWeather that 30"+ amounts in WNY will be hard to achieve but I can see some 2 foot plus totals possible if the band sets back up over us later on.

NWS just sent out an email that the radar is not rendering returns at all. Snow has begun here again, yet radar barely even shows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow has begun here again, yet radar barely even shows it.yep radar is all sorts of messed up. I'm only using the radar as a general idea of where the snow is falling. Your better off looking at a map of webcams to get a better idea of where the snow is coming down heaviest, Snow is picking up here again as well.

BuffaloWeather Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Was ecstatic to hear this back from the NWS. "Rich, we had to make some changes to the pages. There are many interwoven links/references that need to be updated. The pages will return as time permits. We will also have some summaries posted for the 2013-2014 season, again as time permits." The 1998-2004 lake effect pages will be coming back with updates. Yay! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Maybe another 4-8"? i still think those amounts are under reported,easy 2ft on the core of the band last night.ya i think without those extreme winds last night we would have had about 2ft as Richard and I looked to be in the heart of the band for almost all of last evening, overnight, and early this morning and theres about 16" here. 8" more would make this a 2 foot storm and put me at 100" for the season. Snow really starting to come down here again now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Very difficult to measure. Consensus measurements lead to 15 inches total as of 12:30 P.M. I have nearly an acre of land in my backyard so I took 20 or so measurements. It is about as accurate as you can get as there was bare ground before this event started.

Lindblom Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The Buffalo bands actually looks very weak and small compared to the Ontario band. Heard any news from the Tug Hill area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The Buffalo bands actually looks very weak and small compared to the Ontario band. Heard any news from the Tug Hill area?again the Buffalo radar is having major problems causing a lack of reflectivities so it looks weaker than it is. No doubt that the Tug Hill band is going stronger then the Buffalo band, just not as much as you may think looking at radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Is anyone else blown away by the fact that the sfc low responsible for this storm is forecast to deepen to 941mb by tonight! That's completely out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'd estimate the band across the south towns is producing 1 inch per hour snowfall rates. The one north of the city 2 inch per hour rates. The one across the Tug 3-4+ inch per hour rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coh Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Midday here in western Monroe County. Meek sun has pushed the temp to a balmy 1.3 F while a steady fall of small snowflakes continues...visibility is pretty low (1/4 to 1/2 mile) but we probably haven't even received an inch of snow accumulation.

jamesnichols1989 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think winter returns after the 15th across the Northeastern US. Models show a thaw until then. However we have one and a half more days of cold weather before the warm up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
