BuffaloWeather Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Going to take a snow depth measurement. Obviously a lot of snow has compacted and didn't take 6 hour measurement totals. (No clue why) I've gotten 5 hours of sleep the last 2 nights total. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 6 inches here on the Cheek/Amherst line as the band moved through this morning. Snow just tapering off now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Interesting to see the sharpest reflectivity gradient now on the southern edge of the band as there is more frictional convergence with the shoreline on the northern edge. Also some pretty high ZDR values ~5 dB in the lower reflectivity to the north. That seems to be related to the temperature range being more conducive to plate-like crystals than yesterday, where the mixed layer extended up to -30C. The folded velocities (oranges and reds next to the blue colors) show the convergence zone pretty well where the highest reflectivity and lowest ZDR values are.

Buffalo Bumble Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 This is pretty awesome (from WIVB.com: http://wivb.com/2014/11/18/pregnant-mom-trapped-in-storm-gives-birth/). What are the odds!!!! BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – A woman from south Buffalo went into labor early Tuesday. She had only one obstacle to overcome — the trip to the hospital. After Bethany Hojnacki’s husband Jared dropped off their son with his grandparents, he turned around to head towards a place where Bethany could have her child. On the way, Jared stopped to help a woman get out of her car. That woman turned out to be a pediatric nurse. So when plans to get to the hospital failed, and the Hojnacki’s wound up in labor at a fire hall in south Buffalo, the woman they helped with a random act of kindness was able to help them out. She and the Hojnacki’s successfully delivered baby Lucy Grace Hojnacki just after 9:30 in the evening. “Talk about a god send,” Jared Hojnacki’s father said. “She’s a pediatric nurse but she did do labor and delivery at one time.” The baby is safe. Lucy and Bethany were transported to Mercy Hospital after the delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelocita Weather Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I suppose its really tough to have a snow depth of more than 40-50" or so with compaction from the weight, doubt we will ever know how much really fell in the hardest hit areas if one were to clear and measure every 6 hours.

KBuf received 82.4 inches of snow in 5 days in 2001. The highest snow depth at the airport was 44 inches. My depth was 35 inches. I'm going to do my 9th grade math skills to calculate my total. Honestly this is just impossible to measure. It was blowing so hard it was tough to even try to get accurate measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
