CNY-LES FREAK Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Euro was a very bad run as it was unusually inconsistent with itself for the short-term, which is, like I said, highly unusual so I'm not gonna worry too much.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in 2007 (I think) there was about 100" of snow in the Oswego to Parish corridor, in a week. I drove through it 2x a day going to/from work. Only accumulated 6" IMBY south of the band for the week. It was epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I just went out for an hour cruise to enjoy the snowy roads and general last minute Christmas traffic madness. I just love driving on snowy roads! I really like that we are putting down a nice base of concrete before the next week of synoptic shots and lake effect. I think the roads will also really be able to hold onto their snow cover as the wet sleet snow mix has compacted well and very cold temps are forecast for nearly 10 days straight. Perfect!

Buffalo Bumble Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Nice last burst of giant flakes here as the back edge is about to push thru.

Nothing like the usually lake effect. The Nov 2014 event was similar, usually early season events are low qpf type stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are correct. I do remember that's what they named it. IIRC, National Guard was called on to help with snow removal. I knew where they worked cuz all the mailboxes were smasheed on that section of road when they were done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinksnow18 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Approaching 5" in Williamsville with the fluff bomb that just moved through, hey NWS KBUF is real vague on their 3pm afd, saying Christmas day LES will begin on SW flow putting metro abd Watertown in band first, but eventually the snowbelts east of the lakes will be the big winners. Thing is they mention all of that but no accumulations for any one, including tomorrow night...any maps anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a quick measurement by holding the yardstick out the door on my deck and only measured an inch. Of course it's probably 8:1 stuff. I'm waiting to see if that last band that gave the fluff to Buffalo makes it here later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 The Montague radar will be out of service through at least Tuesday. This will make snow difficult to see, especially with significant lake effect snow possible along Interstate 81 between Watertown and Syracuse Monday through Wednesday. Follow the NWS for the latest forecast. Good grief! Talk about bad timing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Looks like my 3-6" call verified quite well. Might have to increase it to 3-6" for next event as well. I think the LES band has a chance to hit airport for 1-2 hours but southtowns, especially Hamburg/EA south have best shot of highest totals. RGEM has the band over southtowns for at least a few hours with very high rates. Those rates off Ontario are going to be insane Monday Afternoon into Tues AM. I wouldn't be surprised to see 3-5" per hour at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 For those Buffalo north the latest GFS has that historic high move north towards Hudson bay and even further west after that which allows flow to back to SW Late thurs into Friday with a pretty decent band of LES. The part that gives this credence is the CIPS analogs for that timeframe, they are pretty robust. Some of them even favor a SSW flow. Models will probably change 3-4 times by then though.

Or is the entire network down for the tug? We also have loads of cams for that area. http://www.northernchateau.com/northernchateau.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im up there a few days a week, but heading up mid day Tuesday through New Years. We've had a 2-3' snowpack for a couple weeks. Good start to snowmobile riding season, but waiting for Rez to freeze still. Sled and 4wheeler went through last week, thankfully nobody hurt.
