CNY_WX Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Even though the returns on the radar have lightened up over me, it is still snowing heavily here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Nope!! (although I think there is a better one that you are talking about) I forgot about that pic! LOL. Great stuff. Snowing pretty decent here still, flake size not great but we'll take what we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Just measured, 3.5"...nice flake size now as we seem to be getting into this developing lake band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yeah...it was snowing pretty good there! Nothing really beats the pics from my 9"/hr. deal (I forgot the year): OMG! I think the highest I've seen is 7" per hour. I think some place in the Nov. storm measured 8-9" in one hour. Here is the photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revracer800 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Getting absolutely hammered here. Pure whiteout. Has not snowed thia hard all winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 My forecast was for 2" of snow tonight from KBGM and 1" from the Weather Channel. So I'm going to ignore what's actually happening, which can't be real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Be interesting to see what KBUF gets out of that band. Looks like whiteout right now and should last a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNash Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Glad to see Buffalo north towns getting in on some action. Low visibility in North Buffalo (around 1/8 mi) but tiny, tiny flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 That band over L Ont is finally making it into the Roc north towns. Albeit in a modified form. like the last couple LES events, very small flake size. That Band that extended from wayne thru syracuse was influenced by the front. It will probably stick around the Hannibal thru Fulton region before the flow turns more Northerly- see the west side of lake orientation- NW-SE. The flakes have increased to mid size, visibility very low @1/2 mile, but accums only .25"/hr. We did get around 2" so far today, but moslty due to earlier squall w front. Good luck all! Good fcst KING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 well, the L. Ontario band seems to be heading northbound for now. Goodbye sweet snow band. I hope the 6 toothless wonders up on the Tug enjoy their snow, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Think that's about it for my BY as I see this band settling a bit to my North, which makes absolutely no sense, so a quick hitting 3.5-5",so all in all not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Looks like a snow globe outside. Snowing heavily, now up to 4 1/4 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 oh, snap! We got a micro coming on shore in Northern Monroe County! Sweet. Big flakes, hvy snow ramping up! check out the radar loop and see the swirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Quarter size flakes, visibility down to less than 1/8mile. hope it lasts for a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 0Z NAM and GFS keeps the 0C H85 isotherm south of CNY on Sunday. QPF is not overly impressive but at least we wouldn't torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 FWIW, the 00Z GooFuS is running...overall looks somewhat more in line with 18Z, in that its colder than the 12Z or 00Z before that. I'd guess still going to be some mixing and/or ice issues particularly from Elmira / BGM to ALB but the previous quick hitting blow torch seems off the table for now, for most of us. The 850/0C line gets to about a BGM to ALB line by hr 84 but pushes off east after that. Haven't parsed qpf, and really, why bother this far out as its the worst field, but I'd guess a solid advisory type system from the looks of it. Maybe low grade WSW where its snow and definitely where there's ice, if the profile supports ice. Haven't looked at a skew T for BGM or ALB yet.

At the worst a few hours of mixed precip and back to snow. Should be a great holiday valley trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hey King, already closing in on 4-5" for event. 2 from the earlier front. But that lake band is intense. So much for no dendrite growth and too much ice! LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for no dendrite growth and too much ice! LOL. King is probably busy with other matters. Or sleeping like an old man that he is. I think the DGZ issues are going to come to fruition...there's a lot of cold/dry air inbound, and moisture seems to get robbed by the developing coastal. But, if you notice, moisture does seem to reappear later Thurs or Fri on the models, which might help reinitiate some LES if the other parameters haven't crashed and burned by then. Which I think LEK mentioned/alluded to in an earlier missive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 snowing pretty nice outside still, dendrite size has improved again...5" on the board at midnight. KTYX radar as useless as t*ts on a bull, again. WSYR9 picking up the snow much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 hey, I've seen the king respond well into the wee hrs. Regarding your ski trip, I stick with my original thoughts, It would be a major storm track shift for it to torch. And a 'major' change isn't advertised. Just nuanced changes in the 850. Hell, Boston could still find a way to squeek this one out. I'm not impressed by the qpf or the storm itself. Might end up being perfect! 2-6" of snow and temps approaching the low 30's. Perfect for packed powder skiing. Not to mention the ellicottville brewery. Hey, You got an extra bed? LOL. I'm gonna check the toronto radar to see if its seeding any of the upstream. Like you said, the dynamics are drying up bad- as advdertised by the NWS BUF. But as local mets have also noted, the atmo gets better primed thursday afternoon thru Fri am. Looking forward to that. Not entirely sold on it dropping off tonite, as the 'pump has been primed'. At least the west end of the Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNash Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 In Buffalo we are still getting a bit of what the tub of guts on Channel 2 calls "laundry detergent." Really small dendrites adding up to no more than a half inch this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
