Ginx snewx Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 4' of snow in about 18 hours is going to incapacitate travel...I don't care what the ratios are.try but this LES has more meat due to time of year. Anyways pics are amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yes. However I recall it starting around daybreak, though it didn't really get going in earnest until afternoon, so you are right in terms of the real meaningful impact of the storm. The snow was quite light for the first 6 hours You were probably flirting with the sleet line a lot in Mendon during the height of storm and had some pasty snow. Not surprised you lost power in that. Yes your right. I recall more now that you said that. It was sticking to everything and the wind was awesome. We had a conversion van at the time and it was shaking back and forth pretty good when I parked it at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was 1985? I recall a pretty good sleet fest at the football game in Foxboro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 GEFS looking better after being horrific lately. Hopefully that's a start. Yeah heights not nearly as low over AK post-Thanksgiving weekend...perhaps trending a bit more toward the Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Heck, many of us saw several 65+ days last December, It happens Yup. Pretty hard to go a whole month without a few double digit positive departure days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 How was 1985? I recall a pretty good sleet fest at the football game in Foxboro I totally forgot about that one. I was so young though. That was snow changing to slee/ice. Pretty good sleetstorm in ORH during that Thanksgiving after about 3 inches of snow on the front end. A bit of ZR in there too. We lost power at my grandmothers in Holden for an hour or two but it came back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Sarah McLaughlin playing on Thursday in Hamburgfiguratively some people here in the SNE forum live in downtown Buffalo while some live in Hamburg. Some here would be posting about the epic LES while others would be posting about the flooding coming next Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The sun's won the battle with the CAA. Temps have climbed to 27.9/11, ftl. You're brutal. It's beautiful weather if you like cold air between your rain storms. Sun won the battle, but appears to have lost the war in a big way. 23.8/9 now. Car was reading 31* in downtown Greenfield 20 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I don't know that there will be much in the way of flooding. That 70-80 inches will fluff down to like 25-30 inches when it ends Friday morning. And then a slow melt over the weekend till 1 day of warmth before winter comes right back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Snow 1717 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Heck, many of us saw several 65+ days last December, It happens I just checked my weather log book for last Dec. and I found only 2 days(20th and 21st) registered highs of 50 or above.

Ginx snewx Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 George knows his LES better than anyone I know of LakeEffectKing 16 minutes ago This will go down for some just south of Buffalo, as the greatest (double) LES event ever recorded by the end of the week....I bet some will total over 100" by Sunday..

I hope this winter is more snowy than that one was for SNE...more like 77-78 was here. Sure it was cold in 76-77, but it wasn't all that snowy if I recall correctly...I was in 3rd grade. But the next year, 77-78 was a great year for snow in SNE, I remember that year very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Snow 1717 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Friend in Orchard park is buried. Maybe when the snow melts in the spring the Bills will find a QB who can actually play in the NFL.....a hidden treasure under the snow?? A former manager of mine worked in Buffalo for several years. He had some great stories to tell of the LES events. Envious to say the least! I'd like to experience one of these events just once in my lifetime.

CT Valley Snowman Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 European operational looks OTS with the pre-thanksgiving wave. The first wave earlier in the week looks like rain. Some of the modeling is hinting at a weak clipper on Black Friday that could provide some mood type snowfall if it hangs together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP run shows a Bermuda high for Black Friday...get out the bananna hammocks. In all seriousness, guidance is having a lot fo trouble with the west coast near the end of next week. They all agree on dumping a lot of cold into Canada, but can't seem to figure out what happens in the CONUS. My WAG is still cold for that weekend...Euro decided to dig for oil in the SW US which might be a little overdone and pumped up the ridge downstream.

Thanks for the update :-). 7+ days away is the problem...that will change a dozen times between now and then. There seems to be alot in play, and with the Strat Warm added into the mix, there could be some surprises in store in the weeks to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Probably classic euro dig happy at play there. Regardless, it's got pretty good heights in the EPAC so one can surmise the cold would push east eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah OP is mad warm for shopping day...jogging club around the mall in shorts! The one constant seems to be the -EPO/Pac ridge remaining intact with a Nino like Aleutian Low...that always bodes well for us so I'm not as conerned with the handling of the PNA/RNA as long as we continue to see things work out at the high latitudes with modeling. Did you notice the Euro also builds a -NAO block but then makes it transient? If that feature stuck around that we see in the medium range, wouldn't it be a lot more wintry?
