coh Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Sitting right along the north edge of the band, the heavy snow only lasted about 20 minutes and we're now back to light fall of tiny crystals. 15.4 F. I have to say, I have no idea what to expect out of the rest of this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Heavy sleet/mod snow now the roads are terrible. .1 inch of ice on my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNash Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Snowing moderately here with good flake size. Looks like it will be a race in BUF to hold onto the precip. If we can for several hours we have a good chance of hitting the high end of the NWS forecast amounts, especially since mix doesn't appear to be an issue now. CNY'ers look to be in awesome shape. Yeah, finally SN in North Bufffalo. Radar to the west may be filling in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Look at the Temps down near DC and points South (mid-upper 60's) while to their immediate North its in the lower 30's. Sick gradient of temps across the whole NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 had some heavier snow here, has since lightened up a bit, nice time lapse at SUNY Moville: http://www.localsyr.com/weather/skynet9/morrisville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiksports Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Precipitation has just started in Ithaca. We are at about 28 degrees, which is 5-10 degrees colder than spots just 10-20 miles to out East. The precipitation type appears to be freezing rain.

steffen Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 We have now transitioned to sleet/snow in Ithaca. All snow here on West Hill since it started about 20 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Wave Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Freezing rain has turned to snow here, earlier than the models expected. Hoping for 6-8 inches. If the band keeps up through tomorrow afternoon, that should be easily possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I. like so many others, have no clue what to make of this system because it's not really a system, lol. Its a strict overrunning event which transitions into a coastal which bombs out for the fish, and not before it bury's Boston again, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 With Lake Ontario virtually Ice free, On a NE wind places from Wayne county west along the South Shore should be getting into some kind of LE no? It doesn't make sense why it wouldn't. Understandable around Lake Erie where its pretty much frozen over with a few spots cracked but not understandable over LO!

coh Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 13.3 F and we've settled into a steady, moderate to borderline heavy snow. Wind is blowing enough to start the drifting process across the driveway again. Tomorrow morning should be loads of fun. Probably some degree of lake enhancement taking place but who knows how much.

BuffaloWeather Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 This ice/sleet/snow is a nice change of pace from all the snow. Pretty cool to see the constant transition between the 3. The atmosphere must be confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coh Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hey, weren't you getting on my case yesterday when I was hoping for some ice to cut down the drifting? We didn't get any sleet or freezing rain here, just some riming/ice fog last night. Doesn't seem to have had any impact on the drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 CAA is definitely underway across most of the area as places that were near freezing has slipped below so the transition should be a quick one through the evening hours. Just witnessed on the enhanced WV imagery a frontal boundary which recently crossed the area actually dried up a bit of the moisture that had been previously advecting into CNY from the West but since has passed and looks to be making its way South rather swiftly. Critical thicknesses are slowly dropping through the state rather so who ever is seeing anything other than snow should be doing so soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest NAM gives us over 0.75 inches of QPF, but puts us on the Southern edge of the heavier amounts with a sharp drop to our South. The GFS also gives us more than 0.75 inches of QPF, and places us near the heaviest precip totals in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 If this one doesn't satisfy you guys, fear not. The long range looks pretty epic in almost all model guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The band that's moved across the Thruway towards ENY is producing. Moderate to borderline heavy at times.here now. Yep - about an inch/hr here for the last couple hours and still ripping. Piling up very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 When KBUF finally goes over to all snow their likely to get a nice thumping if that precip can last long enough over the area! When looking at the area of precip, this whatever you call event, Its Marcus to TWC, looks as though most guidance has been within 50 miles or so of where its actually forming, with the heaviest of the precip falling across CNY and points N&E so in all fairness a blend of all the guidance would of sufficed sans the NAM as usual. Unless of course Im missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to post something quite similar to this as it does look incredible and if it verifies even 50% I'd be happy as most guidance is printing out an absurd amount of precip all Frozen!!

The Valentines Day storm which came further west than anyone expected and dropped 8-12 across CNY was the only exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
