CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Listen man I could be wrong but almost everything I have looked at say all systems are a go in the city so If I'm wrong, the data I interpreted was wrong, but can they all be wrong?? We'll soon see I suppose, lol. I hope you get crushed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 20 minutes ago, CNY-WXFREAK said: 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! I think that band is nearly out of northward steam. Its looking fairly steady now, maybe its got another mile or two at best, but I think its a heart breaker for the metro. Also, I don't see more than a coating area wide synoptically, if that. Sorry to be so pessimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be so pessimistic. I dont live in KBUF but its great to disagree. I really have nothing invested in this event as a whole but I still think ur wrong, lol!!

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Cautiously optimistic on any more northward jogging. If it repeats earlier today the band kinked and made a fast 5 mile jump north.. Maybe a repeat next hour? NWS has been advertising a 5pm arrival downtown all day so let's see..Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 So far it's only moderate snow here will about an inch, but once those 3-5"/ hr rates get up man, man it will be fun! I'm right by Tifft St, what about you?I'm over in the Cumberland area near the park. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 If this stalls all night, 2-3 feet of snow easy I think. Just dumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Still only light snow here. Guess this is what the 2010 and 2014 storms felt like for those just north of it. Looking further downwind it seems like it has a couple more miles in it, but that's no guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None yet. But I saw 6" in an hour earlier. Crazy stuff! Latest from KBUF: .A BAND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL AFFECT CENTRAL ERIE...SOUTHWESTERN GENESEE AND NORTHERN WYOMING COUNTIES... A band of lake effect snow producing snow fall rates of 3 inches per hour will continue to drift very slowly north toward Buffalo while continuing to impact the Buffalo Southtowns through the afternoon. This band of heavy snow is then expected to drift farther north into the City of Buffalo during the evening commute. The band also extends eastward into Northern Wyoming County and will edge into Southwestern Genesee County later this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The light snow today goes all the way up at least to the Niagara County line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's trying to fatten up a bit, which might push us into the 2-3"/hr stuff. I'm still remaining optimistic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
