swva Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Well 2.5” last night.. ha! Band never stopped sinking south. It is beautiful out this morning though.. I guess I have to hope this clipper coming gets energized! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Interesting, NWS just said it snowed in Oswego last night for 8hrs at a rate of 3"/hr, so yeah, they got hammered with close to 32" in some spots with reports still coming in, lol. Wow, talk about a gradient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 NWS A general 290 flow over Lake Ontario this morning will continue to focus a plume of moderate to occasionally heavy lake effect snow that will extend from the New York nearshore waters to northeast Wayne county...northern Cayuga county to southern Oswego County. Have upgraded Wayne county to a warning for today. Impressive long lake axis plume seen hugging the south shore on GOES East 1-minute is being enhanced by strong convergence with northerly inflow into the north side of the band. Snowfall rates overnight in the town of Oswego average 3+ inches per hour for 8 hours in this band. As this band moves slowly onshore in Wayne and N. Cayuga counties this morning, these high snowfall rates will continue with an additional foot of snow likely for northeast Wayne and N. Cayuga. As the aforementioned arctic front settles south across the North Country and winds veer to 300-310 during the midday hours...the band will be pushed southward over the counties that line the lakes southern shoreline. While the veering steering winds will likely lead to a renewed upstream connection to Lake Huron...the axis of the band coming off Lake Ontario should weaken the low level convergence...and with a higher sheared environment...the organized should become more multi band in nature. This will lead to lower snowfall rates...but will spray a larger area with accumulating snowfall. That is why winter weather advisories will be in place from Niagara to Monroe counties into this evening for snowfall of 3 to 6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 KFZY is reporting 1/2 vis, with fzfg, nasty stuff! Very tiny flakes are falling but it adds up fast due to the frigid temps and rates. Its trying to get a bit better organized it looks like on GOES Satellite from WeatherTap. What a great product!

wolfie09 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Snow has definitely picked up as of late, it’s trying lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 The HRRR pegged that band last night but a little light with accumulations, in fact, extremely light compared to actual reports, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I guess if you take those totals and account for ratios, its probably a better forecast then its showing. If it had the Kuchera method which accounts for ratios it would be a big difference. That's impressive, but a rapid refresh model that runs every hour should pick up on small nuances of the band, like it did perfectly last night.

CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Wow, that changed quickly, as it doesn't take much but SN now falling, not terribly heavy but snowing nonetheless. Satellite looks impressive thats for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Been snowing here for a few hrs. Very grainy light snow. It's not accumulating. Visi is low due to ice fog. 1/4 mile or so. Heavy stuff about 10 miles off shore. Looks like N Wayne and N Orleans are into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I have to hope this clipper coming gets energized! I wonder if the band just shortened up. We drove up last night. Between Tinker Tavern to 3 miles north of pulaski, zero visibility, so much we missed the Pulaski exit, never even saw it. Pulaski to Altmar picked up 12". Band stayed steady state from 730 -11. About 10" at camp from when the band came through, but im several miles closer to the lake than u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 KBGM not throwing the towel in for us yet. Seems aggressive but after last night probably anything is possible. Edit: snowing pretty good all of a sudden, excellent flake size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVA01 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Impressive pictures from Oswego. Of course this would never happen when I went to school there. http://www.localsyr.com/news/snow-buries-oswego-12-27-17/889185443 Nothing here in Downtown Roc. Just some snizzle.

OSUmetstud Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Oswego was always kinda tough. Lots of minor to moderate snow events and then every once in awhile you get slammed with a stall and it wasn't super obvious when it would happen either. I remember a ton of 1 to 3 ft events that blitzed minetto to Fulton and central square where Oswego got 3 to 6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose2k Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I graduated from Oswego in 1980, the winter’s of 76/77 and 77/78 were epic. Was out along the lake an hour ago in Webster, very light snow and it was dark not too far offshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
