vortmax Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 LE disrupted after the frontal passage. Waiting for it to fire back up as winds realign... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I don't know about anyone else but I'm getting heavy heavy snow here just North of rt31. I just drove from 31 and it's nowhere near the rates I'm experiencing right now! It'll looks like its coming in on a North Wind fo the Lake and getting enhanced from above. Definitely closing in on 3" easy with fluffy dendrites but that's about to change as the Coastal heads further N&E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 It came closer but that storm is still 300-400 miles offshore. Not even close to impacting our area. The rapid intensification is a beautiful thing to watch on satellite, thundersnow showing up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Quite "squally" here as the western end of L. Ontario is throwing a nice spray of snow over the Niagara Frontier. Mostly light, but occasional bursts of SN+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it took the track that some of the models had a few days ago, it would of hit Ireland,lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say it isn't impacting our area - maybe not extreme WNY, but CNY received direct snow from it and ROC-east has LE due to RH being thrown westward. All-in-all, it's such a strong system (951mb so far), it didn't need to be much closer to impact much of NYS. With that said, I'd would've liked to see it ride up the Hudson...

CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This system is currently sitting and spinning over the BM, that to me is quite a bit closer as it's about to hook into the GOM. We're actually still under the influence of the system to our NNW and once the Coastal takes over, we should see more synoptic moisture get thrown back over the area helping to enhance the spray off the Lake currently getting going.

I measured 0.6 at 1 PM since this morning, maybe enough since then to bring my total to an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WPC analysis has/had low passing just outside the BM, I think. I'm curious as to whether it actually ended up on or just a bit outside, for future reference. Of course, not likely to see another with this intensity anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may actually have went just inside or passed right over. We'll know more in a day or so, the exact track it took! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Sick as a dog here but still watching. The west end of the lake has been unexpectedly active today and the east end is really firing up now. How far back will the moisture come? Roc has been virtually on the sidelines all day. Just some flurries and maybe a quarter inch. Skies appear to be thickening and darkening to my north so maybe I’ll get into something here. Wxfreak - I think you’re in a great spot for this.

Snow intensity has picked up quite a bit here in the last half hour, decent flake size as well. Probably a solid 1"/hour right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Cyclonic curvature of the band on a 360 wind vector, absolutely lovely! If that COastal had come 150-200 miles further West we'd a gotten both, Synoptic then backside Lake Effect and that would of been something as we would of been talking totals in feet when all was said and done, lol! Look at the way this this ibeast is hooking NNW, WOW, as it gets finally captured by the upper level feature., and starts to stack and does so quickly, then occludes in the Maritimes.

CNY_WX Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Looks like the heaviest snow is currently south and west of the city towards Marcellus and Skaneateles right now. Winds should back somewhat this evening and hopefully move those bands northward into northern Onondaga county. Currently getting light to moderate snow with really nice flake size. Still only sitting at one inch since this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 A 3"/hr band sat over NYC and the 5 borough's for 4 hrs. I spoke to my brother in Staten Island.

Syrmax Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Decent snow rate downtown SYR over the last hour plus...dendrite size is superb. Granted, this isn't New England Blizzard of the Year type snow, but I'll take the miserly scraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Dupage radar puts that horrific radar to shame, and whats really a shame is that it was #1 but I'm not gonna touch that one again. Snowing heavily that's all I know, and its been doing so for a while now! Looks like it's starting to intensify as the winds slowly back and waves of synoptic moisture pass through.

Syrmax Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Update...probably 4, maybe 5" downtown and snowing heavy. Cuse is gridlocked. I've moved to the north side of town in 45 minutes...should take about 5 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
