BuffaloWeather Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Entire West Half of Lake Ontario has exploded with Radar Returns. Maybe the King was on to something. Minor flurries happening in Irondequoit as of now. OBVIOUSLY, i'll keep you all informed. Compulsively so. Snowfall rates look pretty heavy near Niagara Falls on the traffic cams. http://www.thruway.ny.gov/travelers/map/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 That band in Niagara looks like its getting its act together. Looking good for those within 50-60 miles from the lakeshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I swear, it has something to do with that stalled front to my East, if that would kick, I could get convergence on the South Shore. Go away already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNash Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Light snow in North Buffalo, but I think we're gonna be too far south to see much. I've said that before though and been surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I think what's left of that band has made it over to me. Snowing pretty good right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said that before though and been surprised. Yeah the best spot for Huron/Ontario stuff is Northeast of the city, North Buffalo is a tough place to be. KBUF out towards Clarence can get nice surprises from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 NWS now has me down to 2-4 tonite. Not sure I've ever seen them drop it this fast. But Nobody, NOBODY, can predict LES along the South Shore of Ontario. Who knows, maybe they'll have to raise it later. Frustrated. My 8-14" NWS fcst has gone to 5-8" (including the 3" that has already fallen). This was always a low confidence fcst. But there is still time. Surprised they are running from their fcst this early. Still wondering when the warning gets dropped our downgraded to LES advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I think what's left of that band has made it over to me. Snowing pretty good right now. You've stolen the snow that I stole first. I still feel cheated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Actually Kenmore out to Tonawanda's always cash in nicely with this type of events.. Sometimes if the wind direction is just right. But living a tad north of the airport growing up, we got several surprise events a year from Huron/Ontario. Most of the time they were 2-4" events, but every once in a while we would get 6+" from them. Kenmore/Tonawanda is usually to far west to get a decent event.

Syrmax Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 May be time to toss the radar...I see nothing over my house yet it's snowing at a petty good clip, just N of SYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to get the winds lined up a bit more as the system explodes off the coast.... Actually WSYR 9 radar is showing the snow pretty well. NWS radar from TYX and BGM usually don't do as well with lower topped snow. Either that or they need to change a setting to clear air mode or whatever it's called now.

Buffalo Bumble Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Pouring snow here now. Almost like an ice fog mixed in with the snow lowering visibility way down. Radar definitely not doing this justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yah, even though the radar shows nothing at all over Rochester, I did see one flurry go by my window. In all seriousness, I can see how Buffalo gets more off this set up than does KROC. There is a twist in returns, and you guys are on the West side and I'm in the middle. But It should move east soon. Hey King, Ya still bullish for Rochester? Or are ya having as many second thoughts as I am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I always thought I'd be a good forecaster, but with age comes wisdom. I now know I'd be an awful meteorolgist. I'd be all like, "we will be seeing easily a foot of snow, but on second thaught, we will probably see less than an inch- if we are lucky. Hold on, new model coming in, YES! We will see at least a foot.... Unless I'm wrong, let me start over." I'm a slave to the emotions the models elicit within me. Which is why I like you guys. You 'feel my pain'.

Either that or they need to change a setting to clear air mode or whatever it's called now. When the lake effect is low top KTYX and KBM radar beams are shooting over the top. Don't you know that "Closer is better" from 9WSYR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
