Buffalo Bumble Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Oh come on man, you just chase through the bans. They are too busy to care. I did it for years. Yep....I just drove from home to work in Lancaster. Just have to drive very carefully - last thing you want to do is go off the road and have to pull emergency crews from other stuff. Seeing the cut-off is just incredible. Just a couple inches at the Harris Hill/Genesee intersection in northern Lancaster. Heading south from there on Harris Hill is a different world. Literally go from 2 inches to well over a foot in less than a quarter mile. I estimate 16-18 inches at my office on Pleasant View only about 2 miles from Harris Hill/Genesee.

PB GFI Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 A 240 FLOW WILL LIKELY KEEP THIS BAND OF SNOW NEARLY STATIONARYTHROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...WITH JUST SOME MINOR (FEW MILES) OFWIGGLES NORTH AND SOUTH. EXPECT THE HEAVIEST SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TOFALL JUST TO THE SOUTH OF ROUTE 33 THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOONHOURS. BASED ON REPORTS THIS MORNING OF SOME AREAS FROM SOUTHBUFFALO TO LANCASTER OF NEAR 40 INCHES ALREADY AND THE FACT THAT THEBAND WILL NOT MOVE MUCH THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON...WE HAVE INCREASEDSTORM TOTALS TO AROUND 70 INCHES IN THE HARDEST HIT AREAS.

Congrats guys. Have a question re: that 240 flow NWS Buffalo mentioned. Thought that a 240 direction off of Erie should direct snowbands across north Buffalo and towards northtowns. Is the flow actually 240 or more like 255-260? Looks like the "firehose" of snow coming off of Erie will continue to blast the southtowns for at least the next 5-6 hours.
