A few miles can be the difference between a dusting and 1-2 feet. I think we should send some of our over abundance of moisture to California.

LakeEffectKing Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Looks like finally a bonafide LES for yours truly! Not that we aren't above average for snowfall, but Brian (Gravestone) and I are usually in the screw zone for good single band stuff! Wish Geo. Bay was open!

OSUmetstud Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Tomorrow morning could be the coldest morning of the year, tough call. If we can calm for an hour or two tomorrow morning, the temperature will plummet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking forward to snowblowing a foot of snow tomorrow morning....either with no wind and near 0, or 20mph winds and 10. I told the kids they have about a 70% chance of no school. Wrong thing to say before their homework is done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the models actually show BUF calming out, but you never know with the high pressure in our vicinity at 12z. Even if don't calm out we will be sitting just below zero with a terrible wind chill. And of course, I have to work outside in this ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm in Syracuse for the night and will be staying at a hotel in Brewerton!

phoenixny Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hey LEK, John from Phoenix here. What are your thoughts on the band and its strength and placement? I am a little concerned about dry air and turning multi. Looks to sit in place most of the night after 9 or 10 but converge closer to shore after 3. Told my kids in Phoenix a delay is likely(not that they need more time off!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakeEffectKing Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think once the winds settle down, you'll see a bit more consolidation....right now, the convergence zone is fighting the environmental surface flow...ie winds are screaming!

Any update on Redfield or anyone elses snow totals up there? I am going to compile a list from all around the Great Lakes on March 1st for snow totals so far this year. There is some absolutely incredible amounts across the great lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think they are around 345" (as of this morning)....I bet they're above 345.1 by now! ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Nice IR loop of s/w cruising north of L. Ontario, with upstream winds looking to be quasi-steady state for a good 8 or so hours. http://mp1.met.psu.edu/~fxg1/SAT_NE/anim16ir.html Band is tightening up now (from the north)....meso models appear to have handled this well up to this point.

I am trying to hog all the snow for this one! #notworking This could be our best LES event of the season. We have soooo much catching up to do, what with spring a few week away...

Syrmax Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 You are LEK2. Thanks for the update. So the kids are a tad less enthused about another snow day prospect...since any more of them is coming out of their spring break "vacation"...you know, when the weather might be...good! (So of course I am rooting for a snow day tomorrow just to eff with them). I'm good like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortmax Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 BUF radar out again during a event? Ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Late night update from "extreme northern" Onondaga Cty...about 2" has fallen, SN- at present with $hitty dendrite size the past two hours despite decent radar presewntation. At this rate, we will significantly underachieve...3-5" looks more likely. Have to wonder if the dry arctic air is working its magic, again. We shall see.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Roads were terrible traveling up 81 from Syracuse to brewerton. Total whiteout going about 25 mph with hazards on. Here in brewerton moderate snow with what looks like about 4" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 hardly any schools closed or delayed this morning, looks like this band underperformed. It actually snowed pretty good for a while out here in the western suburbs of 'Cuse...wonder if the winds went more NW than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
