BuffaloWeather Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Wind is making it tough to accurately measure - but estimating 7 inches since snow first started around 10 PM with about 4 inches in last couple hours. Easily over a foot now for the week. Paltry by comparison, but I'll take it. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENYsnow Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Great job documenting this event guys, I've thoroughly enjoyed all the observations, pics and videos. This band is just starting to crank and really has me questioning if football will be played at the Ralph on Sunday. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think I am going to start taking measurements every 2 hours. My last one was at 2:30 at 5.5 inches for round 2. I might head out at 5:30 and take a measurement and clear the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I know round 2 was intense but I think from Hamburg to East Aurora northward are done with the snow besides some light snow showers and they aren't gonna see close to 2 or 3 feet which is honestly great news. The band is probably gonna sit over the Boston hills for a few more hours before dropping even further south over ski country. The hardest hit areas from round 1 definitley "dodged a bullet" so to speak from round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Just don't clear more frequently than once every 6 hrs. We don't want your totals nullified. Yes....6 hours is the minimum to qualify as "official" "snowfall".....Now, measuring for rates....you can measure any time interval...but know that 4" in 20 min. means 4" in 20 min....not 12"/hr....rates CANNOT be extrapolated at all to other time intervals. Back in the 90's, I helped KBUF with a snowfall measurement study during an intense event over Parish....had 21 measuring boards (measuring at 1, 3, 6, 12 hour intervals and total (no board clearing) at various boards)...in a nice secluded (almost windless) area. The amount this stuff settles, even during short periods, is pretty amazing, esp. when there is multiple feet of fresh snow on the ground...I once had a "settling rate" of 2.5" per hour of the entire snow pack!!!! The drier the snow (highest ratios) the faster it settles, during extreme events (even without wind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
