Ginx snewx Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Just thought about something, we as a forum have had a member at ground zero for some the biggest weather stories around the globe for the last year. Pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Here is a very impressive video in a snowband south of Buffalo. Obviously this is as close to white out or zero visability you will ever see in heavy snow. Not the stuff that posters say is white out when its really 1/4 mile stuff. The guy taking this is saying the snow rate is 5" per hour. Obviously the vast majority of this whiteout is snow but I wonder how much is fog too? It almost looks like some is just heavy fog, maybe like how it would look like on top of Mount Washington in the clouds with heavy snow. He moves around so much and doesn't get close to a dark wall for me to tell if this is all heavy snow or heavy snow and extemely saturated air producing the 50 to 100 foot vis. Probably makes no difference but kind of an interesting question. Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 It's all snow, I doubt there's a lot of fog in that vid. No more than any normal snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Buf NWS has been forecasting 4+ inches per hour in bands for the last 24 hours. I was in a top DBZ return during that video. Rates were absolutely 5 inches per hour for that period of time in that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful lots of babies in 9 months, lol I am not sure yet. I will try to go out tomorrow to get some better video. Houses are going to be piles of snow by Thursday afternoon. They already canceled my training for tomorrow and looks to be no work as well. Not sure about Thurs yet. I just need some sleep, but I am the ultimate Lake effect snow weenie. It is going to take a few days to clear out the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 How are you colder than PSF to your NW and at a higher elevation? Hmmm... good question? Just checked again and up to 20.3. Looks 2-4 degrees lower than most in my area. May need to recalibrate or toss the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 You know I'll catch and surpass you in the temp department by morning... 22/8 in mid-November with hours of cooling to go. Pretty impressive. No doubt. Slow drop at the Pit. 20.0/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 No doubt. Slow drop at the Pit. 20.0/5 I have to tease cold b/c with your elevation it's the only category I ever beat you in. lol 20.6F/6 Stupid wind Yeah, it's actually been bouncing from 22 to 23 and back down again the past hour or so. It was actually 21F around 7:30pm. 23/7 atm. edit: wind around 8mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Valley Snowman Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I had it mounted to the back of a wood post away from the Sun but it rotted and I lost the bracket so I've just been placing it on a chair in the shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
