rochesterdave Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 i wish I knew better how to decipher these. I guess negative nao is good. Sometimes I'm outta my depth on these pages. Some of you guys go deep- I'm in it for the snow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Looks like the snow was a no show for the metro overnight... Bummer... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The models really never showed more than 1-3" of snow with the initial front. Once the winds set-up NW we will likely see some strong Huron/Ontario streamers set up. Off of Erie NW PA/Ohio will get in on some Erie/Huron streamers as well. i wish I knew better how to decipher these. I guess negative nao is good. Sometimes I'm outta my depth on these pages. Some of you guys go deep- I'm in it for the snow.... It's not to hard to learn what indices offer a more favorable pattern for our area. Just do a little google research!

ayuud11 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 It's too bad NWS BUF took down the old LES events page, we had nice back to back LES events for the Northtowns early in the 2000's but seems like as of late it's becoming rare and rare to get a solid LES event for the Northtowns.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they did that. I asked them a few years ago when they took down the 90s/early 2000s events and they said they were doing maintinence. That was 2 years ago and now they even took more down. Maybe we can email them about where they transferred that data to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champy Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Looking forward to the steep NW (300-330) winds, we in the eastern Finger Lakes (Skaneateles, Fairmount, etc) do well with "early season" events like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Some decent snow coming down just north of ROC in west Irondequoit. I'd guess 1/4" per hour with bus 1/2 mile or just a bit less. Good size flakes. It isn't showing well on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The radar and my sideways reality. South shore les rarely shows on radar. It usually happens when it's dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Up to 5" here in Fulton.. Snowing pretty good even though radar doesn't reflect that..Hrrr trying to tease with another .20" by morning for kfzy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bumble Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I like the middle of the month a lot. Blizzard of 66 is showing up on the day 8/11 analogs lol. After a dull rest of the week and unfortunately some melting/rain this weekend, things look really interesting starting next Monday. I hope models trends hold of showing arctic air over the GL's with cyclonic flow. A long way to go, but a nice signal there for lake effect. Re: the Blizzard of 66...my in-laws gave me a new book on that for Christmas. It's mostly personal accounts, but a very interesting read. My mother-in-law is actually quoted in the book - her parents were stranded in Oswego for a week after dropping her off at the college (they made it right as the storm was hitting). Thing about that storm that is really impressive to me was the extreme snow amounts across so much of Upstate NY. Oswego was obviously ground zero (100+ inches!), but everywhere from BUF east to the 'Dacks and even down across the southern tier seem to have gotten well over a foot from that storm. Absolute perfect track for both synoptic and lake effect/enhanced snow for W/CNY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
