I’m yet to see my first flake, but looks like some upstream moisture is finally having and impact as the lake has shown some signs of life over th last hour.

Looks to rise to 10k later this afternoon with a bit more moisture. Tomorrow that band gets pretty close to the southtowns in last few runs.

I still wouldn't be surprised if the band follows the original forecast and gets into the metro, I have a low confidence on this forecast to be quite honest as so far none of it has panned out untilits actually occurring.

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Starting to get organized. Getting a few quick bursts here. Pretty much on schedule... let's see if we can overachieve a little while we got that SW flow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-LES FREAK Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 That's looks.great right now, especially wirh such a dry airmass. There's quite a bit of Moist ure to the West just gettingv into KDET so I'd expect it to really get going this evening sometime. I'd be real optimistic right now if I lived anywhere near The City and points South.Hope you all get buriedSent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 Buffalo airport still at 34, going to take awhile to accumulate unless they get some really high rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I hate to see that synoptic moisture quickly drying up on the cleveland radar. Lets hope she can hold together as the cold air deepens and EQ levels rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthBuffaloSteve Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Now she's kicking! I headed out the wrong way. Big fat flakes coming down pretty good in OP right now but just not enough to accumulate yet. Heading out to the lake then taking the skyway into downtown.

It is accumulating but on colder surfaces first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 That band looks like it’s starting to shred apart and is moving so far north it looks like it’s gonna move off the northern end of the lake, I don’t remember it being forecast to move this far north... probably will make for a quick transition to ski country when it moves through the Southtowns later...

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Wondering if the winds are to strong to get the band consolidating. Down at the outer harbor right now and it's insane. Can't even stand in these gusts. Wave action is incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are in tip top shape, and I'm happy as the City has been kind of in a rut as of late, so here's to at least a foot to get the season off to a nice start!This is only the beginning, IMO, of a proonged wintry period, extending into the New Year!Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Not very impressed by the band, looks very sheared apart and looks like it’s gonna move through the Southtowns very quickly once it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 From my fiance in Williamsville... looks like a couple inches. Snows melting away in a West Seneca. looking at radar that band is gonna hop right over the closer Southtowns of the city. What a fail. Not even an inch here and I really think we’re gonna miss out on that band as it sinks south, band looks like crap out over the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 Low cap, bad moisture, diurnal influences, marginal temps, high winds (shear) Not a good recipe for a strong LES band. Still think Ski Country gets hit hard tonight into tomorrow when all these conditions improve in addition to much higher elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This band has a long way to go to get the accumulations projected for southern Erie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
