DeltaT13 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 The only reason I even mentioned G bay was becase it’s one of the few ways Kroc can get a worthy pure lake effect event. Therefore it freezing over lowers my chance (and the airports chance) of getting noteworthy lake effect in the coming two months. That comment had nothing to do with the potential 340-360 degree event for this weekend....which looks marginal at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Such a shame with this pattern to SE it pretty much get wasted for most of Metro BUF. Could have really been something special. KBUF is at 22.1" for the month which I believe is below normal for the month which is nuts considering how cold it's been and how areas 25-30 miles away picked up over 4x that this month. Richard, you definitely owe me dinner lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'm buying 18-24 but what do I know If you never experienced it then those totals, if you think their big, are really not, lol!

CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 The funny part, was that it wasn't even a glorified LES band like we're used to seeing. It was sort of Tea Kettle type snows and they got pounded and 7 miles to their South, in Fulton, 8-10" fell, so the phenomenon is definitely real and not fake, lol!

I've seen a lot of good synoptic storms, but only one 30" event in my life--the Great Blizzard of 2013 when I was in CT. Definitely not expecting that there if I make the trip up. I know you guys get the big dog events. Would have loved to be in Redfield for that record breaker a few days ago or Oswego just a few days later! The heaviest I've ever seen it snow up in the Tug was when I chased with LEK, 8"/hr snows is a sight to behold that's for sure. To see it snow 2" in 15 minutes is just nuts as it comes straight down with no wind at all, calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Expect KTYX to be unavailable through at least Saturday Dec 30. We apologize forthe inconvenience. Next message will be, we can't reach it cause of deep snow, lol! It's really tough tracking LES with no radar! Notice the AT LEAST, cause they already know it won't be fixed Saturday.

Someday... I thought the earlier AFD from BUF was interesting. Had to look up what a "tea kettle" setup actually was. For an outsider learning about LES, I really enjoy the commentary from all of you. Edit: I haven't seen any posts from LEK. Is he alright or does he only come out for big snow and tropical? IDK, I haven't seen him post in quite a while. I hope all is well with him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I think you have a good shot at seeing some accumulating snows next week, although its early, IMO your in a good spot for this one, if it comes to fruition. I'd like to see a bit more HL blocking but the NAO wants to stay positive and that's ok, as long as there's a big HP in the way, it has to slow down some.

I had to sacrifice family members to get a 10" snowfall while I lived there. (Other than Mt. Tolland, the real snow capital of the east). Since leaving, there are Blizzards seemingly raging every month of the year. A Pox upon that place. I am still recovering from a life spent near I-95...so to me, the Tug Hill plateau should be bulldozed to Death Valley status. If I had Bill Gates $, I would bulldoze it West towards the lake and make a big mountain, so it experienced leeside downsloping forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Thats what Im sayin, especially with these temps expected to last until at least the middle of January, they'll need some sort of bulldozer to move the snow, so they can get to it, !

Winter 1996-97, SECT. There was literally no snow. In coastal CT, not Myrtle Beach. A few rounds of sleet, or sleet and rain. If there was snow, it wasn't measurable, much less plowable. This, after the best winter ever, 95-96. It was after this I realized I had to GTFO. Either back south where you don't care or head towards the belly of the beast...I chose the Matrix!

No I definitely agree with you that they are the majority. Probably about 70/30 are male/female ratio for Mets. But if you go on goldensnowball facebook page the majority of posters are female.

wolfie09 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM SATURDAY TO 10 AM EST SUNDAY... * WHAT...Lake effect snow expected. Plan on difficult travel conditions. Total snow accumulations of 4 to 8 inches are expected in the most persistent lake snows. * WHERE...Monroe, Wayne, Northern Cayuga, and Oswego counties. * WHEN...2 PM Saturday to 10 AM Sunday. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Be prepared for reduced visibilities at times. Cold wind chills as low as 15 below zero will cause frostbite in as little as 30 minutes to exposed skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinksnow18 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 LR looks terrible again for anything substantial synoptically or even LES after this weekend. KBUF sits at 22" for the month while just south the totals are almost triple that amount and in some cases quadrupled. This arctic pattern really messed up the snowfall chances going forward and my guess is average will be tough to get to this year. If I didnt just buy this house 1 1/2 years ago I would move south of Buffalo in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
