CNY-WXFREAK Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Kind of felt this one was gonna be a dud, lol! Its snowing but the flakes are 10"s apart! Its just not a good year for the city even with NW flow events we cant cash in unless its a 4 day event that drops over a foot which happened a few times this yr so we'll see what Morch brings. Could turn out to be our best month for synoptic events so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-WXFREAK Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 What in God's name is KBGM talking about twp bands meeting in the middle where the advisories are, lol, so its snowing everywhere except where the advisories.

DeltaT13 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Looks like we got about .5" here on the West side of Rochester. Not expecting more than a few flurries from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revracer800 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Well that was a flop , maybe a inch overnight haha. Few flurries this morning and windy. I'll see some snow tomorrow as i am heading up to the tug to go riding for the day. I'll try to get some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 It's snowing better today than it did last night but there's absolutely nothing on radar showing it so it must be over shooting the cloud tops which are about 7-8kft.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm up to about 2.5 inches since last night and still snowing, sometimes moderately. This event was not lake effect. I think it was caused by moisture from the coastal storm rotating around the upper low over northern New York. This was enhanced at times by short waves rotating around the aforementioned upper low. The trajectory of the snow has been almost from the due north without any time over the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a gov't agency being transparent and admitting when wrong. It would actually be beneficial to the forecasters but maybe Caribou ME is a starting point.

CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I've been trying to understand the void in radar coverage from just about say Oswego West to Rochester it has been void of any returns since the event beganSent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I really don't think this was a lake effect event because there was no true Lake Effect all I saw was Lake enhancement and that's about itSent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-WXFREAK Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Still coming down here in the pool and I believe we're approaching the 5" mark but it does look like its just about done here but it just keeps on steadily falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 A parade of storms on long range GFS. Has strong ensemble and teleconnection support. Some will rain, some will mix, some will snow. Going to be a fun March I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 It just keeps falling for some strange reason, lol. Definitely approaching the 1/2 foot mark by now as its been a steady light to sometimes moderate all day and now we lost daytime diurnal influences it may continue.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Syracuse, Binghamton, Rochester all above normal snowfall in a really warm winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 11 hours ago, BuffaloWeather said: Syracuse, Binghamton, Rochester all above normal snowfall in a really warm winter. It's amazing that Syracuse is 10 inches above it's seasonal average at this point despite enduring the least snowiest January on record (8.4 inches). I think the consensus on this board is that this has been a disappointing winter. I think this is because whenever we start to build up a snowpack we have another warmup that wipes it out and we have to start over again. But with the extended model period showing numerous storms after the end of next week, there is a good chance of KSYR at least reaching it's seasonal average for snowfall (123.7). If you look at the snowfall graph the Post Standard publishes in every issue, this season is right at the same point the snowiest season on record was at. Of course that was the '92-'93 season that featured the greatest storm most of us have ever witnessed in March and one of the snowiest Aprils ever to bring the seasonal snowfall to 192.1. We probably are not going to come close to that but the there is the potential for some excitement before the first pitch is thrown out by the Chiefs in April.

WNash Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The GFS has nothing to offer over the next couple weeks except a gruesome cutter, and it looks like ridging sets back up on the Euro. A few more nails in the coffin of winter 2016-17. Looking at the models, Buffalo will be hard pressed to get HALF of our normal annual snowfall, unless we get a couple junk quick-melters to bump the numbers up. Congrats to all the cities who had just a SLIGHTLY bad snowfall season. For Buffalo and much of the Niagara Frontier, this has easily been in the bottom 10 percent all time.
