10 inches...over a foot on the ground.

But, then again, I am not Carol Yerdon going out every hour.... lol

Well, if shes doing that she isn't measuring correctly and likely over measuring. I have the same suspicion of Lori in Perrysburg. We know she lives in the best spot to get snow in WNY, but you can't have the most snow in every event. A friend of mine works with her husband in the Chautuaqua department of transportation and said she always measures in the highest drifts, but who is to debate someone that lives in a place so remote. There is no one to compare their measurement too, so tough to dispute. I've noticed quite a few of the Cocarahs and Co Op observers rarely keep track of every event. Once I get moved in I will probably start a more accurate log on one of the websites.

13.5" at the Cabin, Peak reported 14", so not bad. Looks great out.

Finally, the poor folks at Wilderness Lodge right down the road from our place get to open their cross country ski resort for the FIRST time this season on Saturday, after they do some more grooming at let the base freeze up the next couple of nights. They did not open with all the November snow as they dont feel CC skiing and the adjacent hunting are a good mix.

Here is to some sustained cold & snow over the next couple of months.

Many locals say she inflates totals and measures much more than she should be. I mean, North Redfield does get lots of snow.....

Maybe next winter I will be more efficient and committed. I am just trying to find my way around living here my first winter. :)

It's tough to keep track when you live in a place like you do. I remember trying to keep track in the Nov 2014 event, it wasn't easy when you have that much snow. Once you get 40" on the ground and you get another 2-4' it's nearly impossible to measure correctly. Always good to get good measurements in top snowbelts though. We can create a better database for lake effect snow lovers like myself and many others on the forum.

I'll tell you one thing. Just checked weeklies and they're well within accuracy range now. I am getting really excited for the next 2 months. I think we see some epic stuff. My epic call is going to be good, just a few weeks delayed. 6-8 weeks of epicness and I'll really want my yearly Miami trip in early April.

Still coming down pretty good, I think we add a couple inches,,

Still snowing here...light but steady. Maybe we snag another 1" overnight if this keeps up.

If it weren't for this and the Christmas Eve "miracle" this would be a gruesome 5 weeks starting in December...

Better not be dry though...the next week + looks arid...other than maybe a short duration LES event that usually pops up.

I'm talking around the 20th and onward. Lots of synoptic chances and even more so on the lake effect end. I see some big time Ontario events coming. Really hoping Erie can pull out a few events before it freezes too, if we finally get a good pattern and its already frozen it would suck. Really wishing we would not be cold and dry these next 4 days.

That's for sure. When you get several inches sporadically different times in a day and week so often, it can be a challenge because you're not always around to measure.

That's at 10:1 ratios!!! If it's 15:1 which is more likely with the much colder weather that's been predicted, especially February, those totals will be between 40 and 50". Starting to resemble both Feb 2014 and 15. In fact I think KBUF in 15 had 48" that month.

It should be good. Just hope we keep the lake open. I haven’t had a lake effect event yet this year. They’ve all been in southern tier.

KBUF is now ahead of me for the season 31.2" to my 30.9"... a pretty minuscule difference but one that's pretty surprising to me. Hopefully we can all catch up in the coming weeks as my average by now has to be close to 50" or so.Gonna take a lot of snow in the next 2-3 months to even get to my average of about 105"

I'm only 5" ahead. That's what happens with no lake effect. Holiday Valley has been doing well.

15" for last event and 89" on the year.

Thanks! Same place, Hamburg. I’ve lived in the city, Cheektowaga, Amherst, orchard park, and Hamburg. Hamburg is my favorite.

Yeah, it definitely seems like the ideal place. Close to the city, but far enough south to get better lake effect events! Hopefully, I find myself moving back to Buffalo in 10 years or so and can get a place in the Southtowns :snowing:

The coldest conditions will be late tonight and early Friday

Frostbite and hypothermia can occur if precautions are not taken.
Make sure to dress properly if you are planning to be outdoors
during this time.

Holy shit I just checked the models and knew I couldnt be the first person to post about that storm (ROCdave right on it).   This run has to be archived for posterity.  That is 100 percent the quintessential perfect storm for us.  Widespread 18-24+ amounts for the entire area if a run like that ever hit.  WOW.  They would probably drop the B word, that storm track is very similar to storm from March 12th of 2014.

Should be good for getting the skating rink set at work.
