Superstorm Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 That looks like a LES band, not a squall line.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 That's what I thought but the weather statement from KBUF referred to it as a snow squall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light snow. Maybe an inch at North Street and less than a half inch at North Campus, which is pretty much in line with KBUF's forecast - the weak band is already crapping out.

Thinksnow18 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 3 minutes ago, SouthBuffaloSteve said: 3 inches in Depew. My issue with the NWS lately is it seems none of the interior offices communicate with one another. Example is today...AFD text states it is a lake band and will be stationary through the afternoon, special weather statement refers to it as a snow squall that will pass and the snow map shows less than one inch and we've had 3. How can we possibly not think that they are not competent recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
