WxNoob Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 What an amazing storm. We almost doubled our snowfall today in large part thanks to Cayuga. Blowing snow made it difficult to measure but I ended up somewhere in the neighborhood of 2+ feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGM Blizzard Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 BGM has recorded an additional 4.1 yesterday and now has 35.3 for the event. The 2016-17 year is now all alone atop the record books with 131.7 breaking the 1993-94 single season record of 131.3. That makes for 2 straight record breaking winters with 2015-16 total of 32.0 setting the all time record for least snow. Talk about a rebound! And we still can't manage to win the snowball award over SYR lol. All good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny rider Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 12 hours ago, BGM Blizzard said: 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! I can't personally verify that report. I don't know exactly where that was recorded. I was stuck at work during the storm so all I could go by was my wife's measurements of snow on the ground. We did not do the proper measure and clear method with a snowboard. Measured in various spots in the yard, by Wednesday morning we had between 36 and 39 inches on the ground.

Buffalo Bumble Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Final totals for WNY. Lockport in Niagara County FTW. If anyone else can find a storm that dropped such widespread 20"+ totals from BUF to SYR to the Catskills to ALB to Plattsburgh, I'm all ears...I don't think the Mar '93 storm had such widespread heavy totals. 000 NOUS41 KBUF 161827 PNSBUF NYZ001>008-010>014-019>021-085-170602- PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT SPOTTER REPORTS NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY 226 PM EDT THU MAR 16 2017 THE FOLLOWING ARE STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL REPORTS FROM THE WIDESPREAD HEAVY SNOWFALL THAT IMPACTED OUR REGION FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

tim123 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Thanks for the credit. This was a unique set up. And I suspect this was similar to the 1900 storm that dumped 43 inches on rochester. Gotta research that one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 So this is probably it for the winter. I can't really imagine anything worthwhile on the horizon from this point out. Kind of sad to see it go after this last storm really delivered the goods and reminded me how good it can be around these parts. I'm thinking the snow tires will probably come off sometime next week. Its been an interesting "winter"...see you in the fall everyone, have a good summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 To bad this forums gets so quiet in the spring summer. Would be nice to have more around for severe weather season. Even though we don't get it like Midwest. I have seen this forum go weeks without a post in summer. I will miss some of your posts. But look forward to seeing some of you back in Sept October time.

Oh how I wish we had an active severe weather season around here. Rochester barely even got a thunderstorm for the entire warm season last year. The Lake erie shadow absolutely destroyed any chance we had the whole season. I'm sure I'll pop in if a particularly high risk event evolves or perhaps a flood risk, etc...other than that...its just a very low key time of the year for the great lakes.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 It's been an interesting winter for sure. If not for this last storm that dropped over 2 feet here this winter would have been the worst winter I have ever personally experienced in Buffalo. Without it we would have been right around 50" for the season which is roughly 50% of average. With how warm it was too it felt like spring much of the time in January and February. Crazy that a mere 150 miles away Binghamton has set a record for their snowiest season on record. It's been fun (and frustrating!) but I'm looking forward to the next lake effect season, especially in my new house in West Seneca which seems to be the bullseye for the big time lake effect events (Dec 2010, Nov 2014), lol. Best time of year is the November and December period when we can get the mega lake effect events when the lakes still warm and the cold air is fresh! Until then, hope everyone enjoys the summer, and I will pop in also if we get a big rain event or severe thunderstorms. Also crazy to think it's been 10 years since I started posting on the forums (back on Eastern)... here's hoping to another great 10 years! Best weather forum around!

DeltaT13 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'm only throwing in the towel because of that march sun. It decimates snow, the amount of melting yesterday and Thursday was quite impressive, even under very cold 850's. Very nice to see us stay snow the whole time this morning. A nice inch really freshened up the snowpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Gotta say there's some nice returns to the South of me right now moving in and it doesn't take much time for it to start precipitating.

CNY-WXFREAK Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 This is funny, best rates I've seen in a synoptic event in a while including this last monster.

If it had snowed like this, for the amount of time it did, with this last event we'd of gone over 40" easily, lol! Huge amount of settling and some melting. I measured 16" depth this morning. I didn't get to measure totals directly during storm here... got some measurements from kid (21") but he wasn't clearing snowboard every 6 hrs, etc. Hard to believe KSYR had 35" storm total and my measurement was only 21" although if we did have ~35", 50% would have settled/melted in about 3 days, which seems a bit much even with a mid March sun angle as it was cold last few days. So I sort of think we did have much less than 3 ft IMBY. Of note...only 4 NWS/FAA observing stations verified Blizzard conditions despite the widespread number of warnings that were hoisted: Monticello NY, Oxford CT, Portsmouth NH and Concord NH.
