Revracer800 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 2-3" here and coming down pretty good. Snow is like sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Well I guess we can all say goodbye to whatever falls tonight and early tomorrow cause things get real ugly thereafter. NAM I seriously didn't know that temps or shall I say 850's were supposed to get to +10 on Sunday, come on, but then they crash so all of this for nothing, lol!

CNY-WXFREAK Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 It's looking real sketchy for us as the southern line of this sort of snow band continues to trek on to the North at a rapid pace and if it doesn't stop we'll be seeing quite a bit of FZDZ and man that would suck big time! I hope it comes to a screeching halt real soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 If these ratios were a bit higher, like what KBUF was touting last night for today, which really never panned out to well, but from what I showed up above from about now through 4AM, 09Z, we should see some decent returns and the ratios should go up but who really knows if it will come to fruition cause if higher rates are realized then we'll end up closer to the 8" mark than the 4" mark cause I'm just about there already I would think.

CNY-WXFREAK Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Wells here's the culprit for our pea sized flakes. The Dendritic layer, basically our snow growth layer, is 900 ft thick which is basically a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY_WX Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 1.7” since 6, 3.0” total. Still snowing very lightly. 25 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Here's an excerpt from this mornings disco and their doing it again, exactly what they said would happen today and never came to fruition so......... A significant baroclinic zone found north of the front will continue to provide the surface for strong H925-H7 frontogentic lift...which will combine with the continued forcing from being under the right rear entrance region of a strengthening 150kt H25 jet over the Ottawa Valley. The lift will extend through the dendritic growth zone for much of the region...with a 5k ft thick layer below H925 being isothermal between -3 and -5c. This will be an excellent environment for aggregation of the dendrites...which will translate into notably larger snowflakes than the small plates that we experienced Friday and Friday evening. Snowfall amounts will range from under an inch across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes region (more on this in moment) to 2 inches across the Niagara Frontier and 2 to as much as 4 fresh inches across the Eastern Lake Ontario region. The advisory for the higher snowfall will thus remain in place for Oswego...Jefferson and Lewis counties until 7 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinksnow18 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 So I'm confused. I just measured another 2.5" since I last measured last evening when I had a 4.4" total bringing my 24 hour total to 6.9" in Williamsville. However I just watched WIVB at 6am and KBUF had 4.1" and Williamsville had 3.1...who is measuring that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBUF’s measurement was probably taken at midnight and didn’t include any snow that fell since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Williamsville total was at 8pm last night. KBUF is at 5.8” as of 7am this morning much closer to your total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 3.1” here since last evening so a total of 5.9”. Much better snow overnight then all day yesterday. Hoping for 3.3 inches today to get me to 100” on the season but I think we’ll come up just short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 NOHRSC was a little behind but for the most part has been extremely impressive, all of SW Oswego county now in the 10’-15’ , would be nice to go up one more shade haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 5.4" total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 under the right rear entrance region They love it! Anyhow. Here in the Roc we’ve done a bit better than I expected. 5” for total event. It was like a very small snowstorm happening in very slow motion. I usually drink during snowstorms. This one would’ve been problematic as it lasted for 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY_WX Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 It’s filling in nicely over Lake Erie. Hope it’s frozen when it gets here since I’m up to 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinksnow18 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 9.6" core depth in Williamsville. Round 2 just beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coh Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Not sure exactly how much fell here yesterday and last night. Started with 4" depth, this morning we have 8" suggesting 4" new. But at midnight we had 4" new snow in the driveway (since plowed so I can't use that for reference) and it was still snowing pretty good. So with settling...maybe 5" storm total so far. Light sleet currently falling and 31 F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Heavy snow with big beautiful flakes. I forgot what a real snowflake looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Too bad its gonna be rain when it gets here! What a shame as it took a week to get to this depth and now its gonna be gone in 2 days once again from high DP's with fog and wind. Goodbye snowpack all over CNY. Luckily the snowmobilers got their rides in last night cause they were out in full force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 A mix of big wet flakes and rain, doesn’t matter to much as the bulk of the precipitation should pass to my NW.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coh Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Mix of snow (pellets, really) and sleet here. Temp touched 32 earlier but then the N wind picked up and it dropped back to 29. It'll be interesting to see what kind of precip we wind up with tomorrow, I expect the low level cold air to hold pretty well along the lake plain. Probably sleet or freezing rain for a good part of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
