southbuffalowx Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Finally winding down north of Buffalo. I doubt we get much more from this point on. What an awesome way to end it though! Some of the drifts around campus are insane, 3-4' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNash Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I just checked my security cameras at my house in NE Buffalo. I cleared off the tops of the wheelie bins and snowblowed the walkway on the side of my house around 8 AM this morning! And it's still coming down.

GuitarFreak Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Took a couple hours to get the cars dug out. Ended up with somewhere between 30-40 inches here. What a storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coh Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 One helluva storm! We seem to have an average of about 17" on the ground in flat areas here, but of course with the winds there are bare spots and also drifts to several feet. Snow rate has dropped off a bit for now at least but the winds are still ridiculous. I'd be more excited and impressed if I wasn't still recovering from 4+ days without power following the windstorm...that was exhausting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Final tally here 27.1". About 20-21" of depth in the ground. Unreal storm. One I will remember forever. Can't remember it ever snowing so consistently for 48 hours straight. It never stopped from 12pm Monday until 1pm today. This brings me to 33" of snow here in the last week with more likely coming this weekend. Could we go for 40" in March?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They consistently come in lower than anywhere else. If it were just one or two places ahead, I'd attribute it to slant sticking weenies, but they are almost always the lowest. Even other NWS Mets were reporting higher amounts in their own nearby neighborhoods (over 20"). I normally wouldn't care, but it's frustrating from a climate study standpoint. After the last 30 year normals were done in 2010, a year or two later they went back and increased the average snow totals for kalb due to missing data. Something may be up with their ASOS or wherever or whoever measures it. People were questioning their low totals on their NWS Facebook page yesterday too.

rochesterdave Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Rochester official total 26.4. It's mostly stopped. That's also the number of hours I've missed in sleep the last 4 days.

Polarbear Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 8 hours ago, Polarbear said: 3 separate groups of 3 measurements around my yard yields 20.5" so far and still coming down... Going to final tally at 25", which matches some other nearby reports I've seen. Had a couple hrs of probably the heaviest snow i saw from this system after I made my prior post. Im satisfied and impressed. Got about 3/4 plowed out before wind was to much on the quad and you wouldnt even know I did that now.While it was windy this morning it has noticeably picked up since the snow tapered and sun poked out a little.

BGM Blizzard Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Just cant believe the totals rolling in from across the state (other than NYC and LI, lol!), and its still not done! Could not draw up a more perfect storm track and solution for entire upstate region, just can't do it. BGM AFD mentioned a report of 48.8 from Hartwick NY near Oneonta but it hasn't been published in any of the PNS Statements, so that seems to be the unofficial winner statewide. Seems a bit high with Oneonta at 33, but who knows, maybe CNY Rider can corroborate that. Not much showing up on models for snow next 10 days at least synoptic wise, to this may very well be the last legit snow event for many before Spring, who knows. Just need another inch or 2 to set the all-time single season record here for most snow, THEN this winter can be done. EDIT: NM, Looks like Rider says its legit!

Congrats and just goes to show how you can still see average or above average (In BGM's case) snowfall even with much above average temperatures like we've had most of this winter. Incredible and congrats to everyone on one of the best storms for upstate as a whole ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
