We may luck out with today's precip staying well north and west and relatively mild temps. Will be interesting to see if much precip falls before it warms up tomorrow morning.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Almost all pingers now with a little ZR mixed in. 28 degrees. Feel like we're colder than anticipated at the surface and definitely aloft which means more IP and less ZR. Fine be me. Still early though but well see what happens, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still early though but well see what happens, I think the NAM high res models had a pretty good handle on the thermal structure, at least to this point. And they were dumping a lot of sleet along the areas north of the Thruway throughout the night. Best case scenario (at least for the lake plain) if it holds up. There is an area of heavier precip about to move into the Buffalo area. It will be interesting to see if that can maintain as sleet or if the (presumably) larger droplet sizes won't be able to completely freeze before reaching the surface.

Checked webcams over the Niagara Peninsula and Niagara Falls area where those heavier echos are and the ground is white, very white, almost looks like snow. Looks like some pretty heavy sleet... have a feeling this could bust but not from lack of QPF or temps to warm but temps too cold (aloft)... in mid April, who woulda thought?

Thinksnow18 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Would be great if it stays sleet...the thermo profile is deeper allowing for no rain in Williamsville...street is white which is shocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revracer800 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Freezing rain here and icing up quick. Didn't realize it was doing anything out till i almost when flying in my ass taking my dog out lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Looks like round 1 is nearly over for ROC. Further west still has a couple hours to go. Looks like a long lull before anymore overunning develops. You can all thank me for not going to Buffalo. I knew if I stayed back we would be spared.

That stream of moisture is going so come over us and stall most of night. That stream of moisture is nowhere near as robust or deep as the models had progged at this time. Im wondering if the deep convection over the south was poorly modeled or caused convective feedback issues. I don't know how you look at that radar and don't see issues with precip. We are going to need some overunning to develop right on top of us (and soon) to get anywhere near the outputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numerous people I told about a possible ice storm/sleet storm said they'll believe it when they see it and they weren't altering plans. They said "Its mid april in Toronto, all we will see if a couple snowflakes and a cold rain, winter is over" I wonder how this cold air will impact tomorrow.

They may have been right to slow walk the headlines when those of us in the peanut gallery were howling about model runs showing the apocalypse. Playing up higher chances of more ZR this afternoon when there was still ambiguity was where they seem to have gone wrong. This is such an anomalous event that it’s no surprise that forecasters have made a mess of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to believe this is going to be anywhere close to those model outputs you were showing earlier your going to be throughly disappointed. If we see .25" of ice I'd be shocked. This is almost all sleet and light at that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthBuffaloSteve Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 NWS sticking to their guns for the 9pm update...The ice storm remains on track this evening. While there has been abit more sleet to start off with across Niagara Frontier, allindications are that we will see a transition back to freezing rainthere after about midnight. This will still give plenty of time forsignificant ice accumulations, and likely numerous downed trees andpowerlines when combined with the gusty northeast winds of 35 to 45mph which have already been observed this evening.00Z KBUF sounding shows an incredible inversion from nearly -8C to+8C between 2.5kft and 4.5kft. With this sounding, its no surprise tosee sleet reports from Buffalo northward to Lake Ontario. Meanwhileslightly more shallow cold air is in place just south and east ofBuffalo with most reports predominately freezing rain, including theRochester area. As the main low pressure system approaches, thiswill start to erode the deep layer of cold air from south to northafter midnight tonight. As this occurs, the far Southern Tier willstart to change over from Freezing Rain to Rain, meanwhile theNiagara Frontier will change from predominately sleet to freezingrain. The warmer air will arrive last across the North Country, notuntil later Sunday night.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
