Syrmax Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Central Square started out with a 2 hour delay then closed. I think they're close to using up all their snow days for the year.[/quote ] I think our district here still has some slack but probably not a lot. Just wait till the red taggers / news media start hyper ventilating about the "severe cold" for later this week. They'll have schools shutting down or delaying again.

coh Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Snow depth here is now about 20". It was 14" late yesterday afternoon. I'd say total snow from this storm was in the 6-8" range. Still falling at a decent rate. Where is this stuff about Lake Ontario being "almost frozen" coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNash Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Snow depth here is now about 20". It was 14" late yesterday afternoon. I'd say total snow from this storm was in the 6-8" range. Still falling at a decent rate. Where is this stuff about Lake Ontario being "almost frozen" coming from? The GLSEA maps, maybe? EDIT: No, the latest shows <10% cover on most of Lake Ontario, with only the very edge of the south shoreline and NE end of the lake frozen. Looking at that map, only the fetch for Watertown north would be limited by that ice cover. With really cold air aloft, there should be no issues getting LES off Ontario at least as far as delta-T and moisture transport are concerned.

Stash Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 About 9 inches here, so we at least verified on the low end. Maybe a little bit more will be added throughout the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coh Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Think we've picked up another 2" since I cleared the driveway this morning at 9 am. Just a steady light to moderate snowfall. Must be lake effect as the main area of radar returns has pushed off to the southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think the last batch of this system willo be finally making its way through through the area within the next few hours as there seems to be a SW rounding the base of the trough down around Elmira. Elmira is about to get blitzed and places to my SW and S are going to get into it pretty good as this last batch moves through! Snowing moderately here in Pennellville NY, and as that batch moves through it should get quite heavy for a while before the freezing drizzle ensues!

This has to be the hardest it has been snowing since the event began! agree, snowing pretty hard now, been steady, light, most of the day. I haven't measured at work but maybe we equaled the 4.5" over night. Totals here might end up respectable. So much for my weenie whining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Measure 3.75" snowfall from 730a to 5p, storm total about 8.5"...not too bad. Low end of forecasts and well under some of the initial clown map totals but not too bad. Snow depth here is 26", it's getting deep out there.

Low end of forecasts and well under some of the initial clown map totals but not too bad. Snow depth here is 26", it's getting deep out there. I'll second that on the deep snowpack. I just measured 22" in my backyard, which is the deepest I've measured since I moved into my house in 2007. This 22" pack feels ridiculous, which really puts the Buffalo event into perspective and lake effect in general. I've been away from Buffalo too long. Also, as of 730pm, the snow finally stopped: North Gates 31 Hours of snow 11.4 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually pretty typical around here. We tend to not jackpot all that often, coastals usually too Far East, but we do "ok" and then LES and Clippers make up the difference. I haven't totaled up but I belive I'm 90-100" for the season thusfar. Probably close to on track for normal seasonal snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 3.5" was my total for the storm but it was heavily water laden. Must have been 1:8 ratios or something as some of it was sleet. Puts me over 180" on the year. With the upcoming pattern, I should break 200" for the first time in my life. I thank Lake Erie for supplying me with WSW winds from Nov-Mid January. Current snow depth in my 5 measurements ranges from 22"-25". My lonely pile at the end of the driveway will have lasted from Mid Nov to who knows when, its a solid ice block. Most epic winter of all time here. Would be cool to get one crazy synoptic system that drops 20" on the area. Then it would be unbeatable for the Buffalo Southtowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as of 730pm, the snow finally stopped: North Gates 31 Hours of snow 11.4 inches I think the highest snowdepth in that storm was 59" in Elma/East Aurora. The highest I got was 48-52". The SWE was 6-6.5" in the hardest hit areas. I would put 07 Tug event and this one side by side as the two most epic events of all time in lake effect snow regions. I wish they had data from the 77" season though. =/ One would think if ratios were correct someplace got well over 100". 100/6.5= 1:15 ratios. They were definitely higher than that. It's a shame we won't get truly accurate measurements. The real likely ratios were most likely 1:20 on average which would result in totals upwards of 130"....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is something else. Transcendent. I feel bad that the narcissistic weenie in Tolland is slant sticking feet of snow when Jebman would go into religious rapture from a single afternoon of good lake effect.
