chietanen Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Might have missed this, but there is a sizable area of "warm" water on the eastern end of the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I believe this is a surface reflection of the occluded front interacting with lake moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I believe this is a surface reflection of the occluded front interacting with lake moisture.so this isn't even the real lake effect that's supposed to drop up to 3 more feet?

BuffaloWeather Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Unless my eyes deceive me, the airport is going to get nailed tonight for several hours. I see a general SW flow all the way across the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 so this isn't even the real lake effect that's supposed to drop up to 3 more feet? I wish you were here with me Devin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
