IF, IF this goes over it will bust way high. NWS has us 'under an inch' overnite. gfs bufkit 12" nam bufkit 14". wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 It's absolutely unbelievable. I'm looking at the radar, the time, my thermometer and It would seem like this could be the biggest forecast bust I've ever seen. Fingers crossed. Snowing heavily now. I'm not sure I'd call it a bust, per se....really fine line, both temp wise and location wise. Don't be surprised if we see upgrades soon for some selected counties/elevations.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Heavy Heavy sleet here. Heaviest sleet I've ever seen in my entire life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'm not sure there will be widespread 5" amounts in Erie and Niagara Counties which is what would be needed to justify a winter weather advisory for snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'm not sure there will be widespread 5" amounts in Erie and Niagara Counties which is what would be needed to justify a winter weather advisory for snow.but if they can issue one for Southern Erie county for 3-5" why not Northern Erie/Niagara? I'm almost certain there will be enough 3-5" totals in N Erie and Niagara to justify a WWA if they'll raise one for Southern Erie for the same amounts. In fact I wouldn't be shocked if there are higher totals in the northern half of WNY than the southern half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Just went outside and wow is it nasty out there! Over to all sleet and snow now but there is quite a coating of ice (.1-.2") on everything including sidewalks and roads which means snow should have no problem accumulating once we flip to all snow. 32.0 degrees. Hoping we switch to all snow here any minute now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Around 2.5 inches so far here. Were going to smash the 2-4 call. This is the most insane winter in my lifetime I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Snow is pounding down, winds are gusting out of the NE and we've got about an quarter inch of sleet and and inch and half of pure cement snow, with a couple layers of freezing rain in there too. My backyard temp absolutely won't budge below 32 though so this event remains on the hairy edge. A great storm all around though...kind of came out of nowhere, it's been awhile since we've had a nice slow mover like this. What a winter!

WNash Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Pretty awful roads, but around three inches in North Buffalo, and snow is coming down at a decent rate. I made the mistake of looking at the WIVB weather blog. The trolls are raging tonight. Must be hard for them having been so wrong so much of the time. One of them is now predicting an ice storm tomorrow, I assume to punish snow lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
