BuffaloWeather Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Someone is going to hit 100" in the Lackawanna/WS/Cheektowaga area Someone should have been at 75 already. It's virtually impossible to measure with the winds and compaction as most aren't measuring every 6 hours in this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natecast Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Thank you for sharing everything you have Buffalo. Awesome to be able to follow along this far away. Based on averages it would take me 10 years to see the amount of snow you are getting in 3 days! LES is now a bucket list item for me for sure.

N. OF PIKE Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 looking at storm total QPF from radar around buffalo overlayed with second round, it looks like second round is centered about 5 miles south of first round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Someone should have been at 75 already. It's virtually impossible to measure with the winds and compaction as most aren't measuring every 6 hours in this stuff. Yeah, it might be tough, but someone has got to pull out of that with 100". Radar approximations of total precip and combined with the analysis of soundings from KBUF scream perfect conditions for someone getting 100+". I know that's not how it works, but dang man. You get perfect dendritic snow growth according to soundings and 3-5"/hr over 16 hours or so. I almost find it's basically impossible in situations like this to ever get a clear cut accumulation measurement. Oh well, all accumulation talk aside, this is without a doubt up there with the LES events in the late 70's and probably will end up tops for many. Two day totals will be on the side of insanity territory similar to the likes to 5 day events around the lakes. Tremendous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 looking at storm total QPF from radar around buffalo overlayed with second round, it looks like second round is centered about 5 miles south of first round Definitely. More focused on the next tier of suburbs, Hamburg, Orchard Park, East Aurora. See what happens overnight into tomorrow. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bills Jets game moved to another day. I don't see how they get that stadium cleared of this much snow in a day or two.

ayuud11 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Man I can't get a break here, I took a quick nap and missed all the action FML. . It dropped a quick 4-5" as it moved quickly thru the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveyLeonardFan Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 It's beyond pathetic TWC is running taped reality programming while an epic weather event is occurring. Two nights ago The Weather Channel issued a press release stating the network would be preempting its prime time reality programming schedule..in order to hear this guys, cover the weather. Amazing.

It dropped a quick 4-5" as it moved quickly thru the city. If you look at latest radar trend I think it might make it pretty far north soon. Not sure how far though. Look at upstream and downstream radar. There is a clear northward drift to the band north of Cleveland/Erie in the last few frames. http://wivb.com/weather/radar/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I looked at hires models 40 mins ago before I got into bed. Seemed to suggest height of this round until around dawn. Models liked a brief push south with the band, but pushes north again towards current areas in morning and towards noontime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 If the band bumps a few miles north and approaches Lackawanna again you really have a tremendous situation unfolding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayuud11 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Should make it back up to Kbuf for a few hours. Looks like it would make it up to the tonowandas then slowly drift southwards again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
