BuffaloWeather Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 14.6" storm total. A solid 12-13" of snow on the ground with compaction, impressive. Great storm here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeyes_Suck Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Now here’s hoping that we stay sub freezing till I get back from Florida’s next Sunday! I want so much snow I’m my driveway that I can’t get down it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Just measured another 1.5” as of 10 am (7a - 10a). Seems low given the rates we’ve had but it’s windy also. Storm total up to 10.3”. Crawling our way up. Not sure lake effect will amount to much here but we’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Think lake is kicking in. Flakes bigger all of a sudden in walworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Totals would have been much higher with better dendrites. The pack right now is thick compared to typical 1:20 type stuff. I'd wager it was 1:12 throughout the event. Going to do a sample later of the depth SWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost hopped on the bandwagon last night, still a possibility around Rochester with enhancement. Snow growth just wasn't there. Nearest spotter had 1.11 QPF, so at 1:20 that would have been close.

They almost never pan out thats why their called clown maps, for a reason! Expand I did take a few looks at model soundings prior to event but I didn’t pick out that snow growth would be so godawful. I had under 10:1 with zero mix. This has bagged us before in synoptic storms and is usually a good reason to just stick with 10:1. Back in January 2005 we had a similar event (was a coastal low though) but similar temps during storm. Ended up around 12” but flake size was similarly small.

CNY_WX Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I finally got the snow in my tube melted and the LE is 0.80 inch from 9.2 inches of snow. That gives a ratio of 11.5 to 1 which seems reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortmax Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Anyone have a sounding for ROC today to see where that cap is? Wondering if it's going to be around 10k like some models were predicting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It would be super funny if we get more from LO today and tonight then all of Harper!

OSUmetstud Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 There was suggest that better ratios closer to 15:1 would manifest in the 06z to 09z time frame during good mid level omega through the sgz. I wonder if that verified. Buf had almost dead on 10:1 yesterday on the climate report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Finished with 16.7” here. Can see the nice little maxima right over what is normally the “screw zone” in most events. Looks absolutely beautiful outside! Great awesome storm! Hope everyone else can keep cashing in especially around ROC later with the lake effect!
