phoenixny Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=TYX-N0Q-1-24 Looks to be intensifying a bit on the way down south. Thinking this is putting out 1 to 2 per hour type stuff. Doppler 9 is showing a widening yellow in center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY_WX Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 About 1.75” here this evening, 1.5” inch fell in the last 45 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Snowing adequately here. I'm guessing it'll end up around 2 maybe 3" with this shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Still going here but on its death throws for intensity. Dare I say theree is a touch of backbuilding happening on the north edge of this band? Might keep lesser rate going a while. Meanwhile, KBGM snow map goosed up a hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Just measured, 2-1/4". Not bad for about an hour. My initial pessimism was misplaced. Still snowing, lesser flake size but accumulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 GFS 00Z Clown below...very similar if not identical to 3K NAM Clown for SYR...10”... total of 2.5” with that burst of snow earlier. Storm total of 4.5” here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 As far as I can tell, the 0z suites have once again cut totals in KROC. Now down to an average of 4-5”. Low end 3”, high end 7 or 8”. I’ve had about 1.5-2” so far. This was never gonna be a warning event. Still fun. Now it’s all obs. Could there be local surprises? Maybe. Always possible. Pretty nice line moved through around 11pm with briefly hvy stuff. Now we are back to snow showers. Mod at times. 1 mi visibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Toronto Radar usually a decent harbinger of things to come for south shore. This is one of the more bullish signals I’ve seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Not sure what to think, Lake Ontario needs to do the heavy lifting.This radar loop looks good. It's hitting at nighttime, everything is working in its favor to accumulate several inches. I never saw the totals that KBUF was seeing, I guess we will see.

WxNoob Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Picked up 4 inches tonight so far here in the hills northeast of Ithaca. Nice steady stream of moderate snow the past few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 7 hours ago, wolfie09 said: So according to the high Rez nam, heaviest rates should be tonight with about 0.4” LE in 3-4 hours then a lull for most of the night without much precipitation before receiving another 0.8” liquid in the next 18 hrs or so..Let’s see how good it does.. Everything going as planned, light misty snow at the moment, should pick up in the next few hours.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hitting at nighttime, everything is working in its favor to accumulate several inches. I never saw the totals that KBUF was seeing, I guess we will see. Couldn’t agree more. I also never understood the Buf map. Sometimes they just go out on a limb. Without hardly any support. I questioned my conservative thinking a lot with this one. ESP after Bing expanded their warnings. If Buf has the confidence to put out a snowfall map like they did I kinda think they should back it up with the appropriate headlines. I could easily eat these words. And Spring is tough. Elevation matters. I like areas like Skaneatles. But southern Monroe? 8-12? Ontario toying with 12-18? No warning? i started thinking about pattern recognition. And if this LP retro’d into N Vermont, yeah, I could see it. But it was always progged to stay east of St Lawrence mouth. So I don’t get their numbers. I get their headlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxNoob Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Not sure if I have Ontario to thank for this or some combination of Ontario and Cayuga but definitely overperfoming here. Looks to be another band to the west enhanced by Seneca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to be another band to the west enhanced by Seneca. Totally a finger lakes enhanced event. You have that N wind and elevation. Perfect set up. Must be fun! I love those micro climate areas. You look to be just east of that area that typically gets bonus snow from Cayuga? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 If you look at the Georgian Bay Radar. It’s moving NE-SW. A big tell for big snow for Kroc. I might be talking myself out of my conservative stance. NWS was talking a west flow. Forget that. It’s a NE flow. Who knows. I’m sticking with 3-5”, 4-8”. But damn, if that system was just a bit further west, I’d be screaming “pattern recognition! This is a foot plus”. Especially this time of year. Ugh. Tough call. Lean low.

Finger Lakes give and take it seems but we definitely do well here on the backend of these expansive lows that push toward Maine. Last March being another example as I recall.
