Buffalo Bumble Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Starting to snow lightly in northern part of Lancaster. Will certainly be interesting to see if this can press north to the airport for a time today. Packed my winter gear in case I need to "chase" this about 500 yards south after work.

Judging by how the snow was at the bottom of the tire in the first picture and halfway up the wheel in the second, that must be a 16 to 18 inch wheel divided by 2 is 8 or 9 inches plus 2 or 3 inches for the width of the tire means about 10 to 12 inches fell in about 3 hours or between 3 to 4 inches per hour.

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Looks like it's finally shifting and about to setup over Hamburg OP West Seneca by 2. Starting to think it might not make it much further north than that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayuud11 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 It's starting to move now let's see how far north it gets.. me thinks it's going to make it all the way up to the 90/290 interchange near Williamsville.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the day off, glued to the radar, jamming the police scanner. Anything is better than those NW flow events. Looks like it's going to really get cranking shortly.

That band is not making it that far north. I think it's just about at it's furthest north point. Will likely slowly stall then slowly shift back south.

CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Buffalo Metro is going to get absolutely crushed from between 5- whenever she decides to settle back South. Plus the added synoptic moisture from the incoming wave which should put down 1-2" area wide. I will be extremely disappointed if KBUF doesn't get at least a foot or more but I've been disappointed before so it's always, we'll see what happens. Everything I have looked at including Bufkit has KBUF getting destroyed. Even their latest sounding for this evening shows the omega intersecting the snow growth region, with a pretty much non-existent cap so I say all systems go for a serious commute this evening through I'd say about 11 or so. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 This event, even on this side of the lake, has been one of a more SW flow event as opposed to the WSW event KBUF thought at first. Watertown at first was looking at 2' now its up to 3'+ so....... Its a rarity to see such an anomalous SW flow for 4 days straight in January so enjoy as KBUF hasn't been too lucky as of late.
