lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I just measured 1.1” of new snow since the snow began yesterday around 10pm. This is an absolute fricken joke. I can not believe that there is literally not a flake here while 2 miles away probably has 6” and is an absolute whiteout on the Thruway Cameras. That band isn’t moving at all North or south so I won’t be getting anything at all from it. How does this keep happening? Seriously? Can anyone explain why this area keeps getting the complete shaft this year?! Oh and the new NWS forecast came out. At least it looks like they’ll be spot on!

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I had to save this for posterity and posting it as venting for my frustration is the only way I’m staying sane this Christmas morning, I feel like Clark Griswold opening his bonus check right now.

wolfie09 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Just have to wait our turn, rgem now in range also drops the band south Tuesday night..Possibly can squeeze out 4”-6” from this 1st event depending on what occurs between 12z-18z..

It’s not just synoptic,lake effect events lately too. But this looked more like lake enhancement than synoptic but I guess it was some synoptic moisture too. We got absolutely screwed here. 1.5” total. Congrats to you guys though, enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY_WX Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Merry (hopefully) White Christmas to everyone! Measured 1.9 inches overnight. Winds are starting to howl. Hopefully I'll see some lake effect this morning before the band moves north, then it's the wait until tomorrow night to see how far south it comes.

CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Merry Windy Snowy Christmas to all! What an awesome morning to wake up to, especially on Christmas morning. This is what people wish for, a white Christmas and we're at least lucky to not only have it OTG, but also have it falling, albeit extremely lightly but that'll change here shortly, as some moisture wraps back around the strengthening low over NE. Good luck to all as there will definitely be some surprises with this one thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 lol, what a surprise, Just about all of New England, excluding the cape, is about to get absolutely smoked by that monstrous deformation band that has quickly formed, WOW would love to be under that thing! Winds should start to veer a bit more WNWerly before lifting to the North larter on this evening so we may have a little chance to see a bit more than flurries today. I don't believe NWS at all as we are not getting anywhere close to 8" let alone 12-18", lol. Where do they come up with these numbers, just wow! Enjoy SWVA, what a great time to be up on the TUG!

CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Need one of these clown maps, just once, to come to fruition. lol! Does have a midweek system that cuts to our South, but it'll probably trend North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinksnow18 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I for one believe the New Years storm will be back in full effect by tomorrows runs. Goofus is trying to bring it back west and the UL is trying to phase with the SL just off the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Having no radar is gonna be tough to track any band North of us. Snowing at a pretty good clip the past hr, with strong winds so quite a bit of blowing and drifting going on, and looks to continue for a bit longer, enjoy it while its here cause it won't be for long.

We're going to have to rely on Channel 9's radar. If you go to the live stream it's not that bad. My biggest gripe is that they have the range set at something like 150 miles. They used to cut it down to 50 or 75 miles so you could see the details when dealing with a local mesoscale event. Now the subtleties get lost.

CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 That's not hat bad, your right. When I was up at OSU, when Dave Eichorn was an adjunct professor, their radar was outstandingly precise and extremely accurate. I guess it'll have to do until tomorrow some time. Does Steve Mahar use NWS, or does Channel 3 WSTM have one? I'm not even sure. BGM Blizzard, if your out there, you might get smacked by that streamer that's about to hit the city. Don't know where Maine, NY is, but if you get hit with it, it should whiten up the day, if the rain washed whatever had fallen previously away, so good luck.

CNY_WX Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Channel 3 has their "triple Doppler" radar which is nothing more than a composite of the NWS radars from Binghamton, Buffalo and Montague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Yeah that's what I thought, anyway, this band thats organizing looks like it will settle just to or North, CNY and I mean just to our North my maybe 6-7 miles. What a shame, Why I didn't buy a house 10 miles further North, is just beyond me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Oh, trust me I know I ain't getting anything near whats forecasted, but Fulton however may. Even if it was valid through Friday, we won't get near 18", as this looks like a straight 270 flow for days but whatever, I'm used to getting screwed by now!
