Stash Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I think the UKIE is close to a somewhat icy situation for a little while out this way.

I'd say 2-4" in the wrap around snows followed by Lake Advs. Then the clippers which I suspect Lake snow warnings easily along with synoptic lake enhanced snows.

BuffaloWeather Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 That system that cuts is going to have major temp issues with no cold air. It's going to have to create its own cold air. I bet whatever falls during the day will have major issues accumulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyll be near freezing with moderate snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather break the record than have a 3-6" snowfall at this point in the season, it'll be gone by the next afternoon anyways. It's been over 1 year since the last 2.0" snowfall here... why stop now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stash Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I mentioned elsewhere that both Richmond and Wallops Island, VA (On the SE tip of the Delmarva peninsula!!) have had more snow than KALB this year. Even living in CT from the late 70's through early 90's, I can only remember one winter that maybe rivals this one...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yeah, it's been brutal for Eastern NY. In general when you lose Nov/Dec the winter needs to really hit a home run the rest of the winter to make up for that lost time. When you're at a top 5 warmest winter ever it's going to be tough to get a lot of snow. Whenever you hear an El Nino you usually can kiss winter goodbye. I was preparing for much worse than what I got this year. We had quite a few LES hits and a great synoptic storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 GEFS, keeping hope alive. Lol. If Euro stays with Detroit storm I'm out on the synoptic watch. Could be interesting behind it.

wolfie09 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Quote OF LESSER CONCERN...BUT CERTAINLY WORTH KEEPING CLOSE TABS ON...WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME MIXED PCPN DURING THE INITIAL 12 HOURS OR SO OF THE EVENT...QPF OF ONE INCH OF RAIN...AND FINALLY ACCUMULATING SNOWS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM. THIS SNOWFALL COULD EVENTUALLY PROVE TO BE PROBLEMATIC FOR SOME AREAS...AS IT SHOULD BECOME LAKE ENHANCED EAST AND SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES. Quote AS THE EXPANSIVE STORM SYSTEM MOVES AWAY THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...DEEP SYNOPTIC MOISTURE WILL WRAP ITS WAY BACK ACROSS OUR REGION. RAIN SHOWERS ON THURSDAY WILL GRADUALLY MIX WITH THEN CHANGE TO SNOW SHOWERS LATE IN THE DAY...WITH THE SNOW SHOWERS BECOMING LAKE ENHANCED TO THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES THURSDAY NIGHT. THERE IS AN INCREASING LIKELIHOOD THAT LAKE EFFECT SNOW `FLAGS` WILL BE NEEDED FOR THIS SCENARIO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, QPF on the 00Z Euro of 0.3-0.4" across most of western & northern NY as snow on the backside, with some lake enhancement possibilities, as the mid/upper low tracks NE toward Montreal. A somewhat unusual scenario, but worth watching, especially with the more southeasterly low tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
