Out by southwestern its only a bit more, but it increases as you get further east and go up in elevation. Every 5 miles south and east you go snowfall goes up 5-10”. Once you get near Springville it starts to decrease as you go south and east. Wsw/w/nw lake effect events are so much more common then sw/ssw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Not bad this morning. Total of 2.8" yesterday here north of SYR. No wind at all. The snow blowing was easy. For there to be a wind chill warning, doesn't there have to be wind? Asking for a friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to find BUF's good snowfall climo map. It shows the same thing I'm discussing. Village of Hamburg and Op is definitely more, but near Route 20...its near BUF, and down by route 5 its actually probably less than BUF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immediate shore line yes but farther south is always better then farther north for lake effect. City of buffalo probably averages 20-30” less then KBUF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind chill warning is for later today into tonight, when the core of the arctic air arrives and the winds increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm saying Blasdell etc. doesn't average more than BUF. BUF has an advantage of being more inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Still have 2 areas of convergence on Erie. Looks like a shoreline hugger. But we have this other band trying to fire along the north shore. Will be interesting to see how they interact and where it focuses the band. Not getting crushed here but a steady 1”/hr snowfall at the moment.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayuud11 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 We're hanging on the northern fringe here, I'd say about an inch per hour rates.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I think at least some of the band weakness today could be attributed to additional freezing. The winds with this event thus far haven't been particular strong, so ice can continue to form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altmar really will be pushing the southern fringe most of the event.

I'm sure someone can give a more detailed reason for it's occurrence, but it always seems to be there I believe you're correct... those are very low level tilts that have the hole (<500ft), if you go up to the 0.9 degree tilt (600-700ft) the band looks much more coherent. I don't have any solid guesses of what's causing that though. My only thought would be something airport related? But that's about all I got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 10 minutes ago, WxWatcher007 said: Still thinking the same for Watertown? Morning high resolution guidance still looks pretty good to me. Yeah, I'd think so. There still seems to be a bit of shear, especially above 800mb this morning/afternoon that may hinder development more than I originally thought, but I would venture that the band sits over Watertown several hours each day, so it won't be 24" in one shot but over the course of this afternoon/tonight/tomorrow/tomorrow night. I also still think the models have a bit of a south bias overall with their QPF placement, which seems to always be a common theme. I have a few friends @Phillifan22 + a couple others headed out to Adams or so by tonight, and I've been disagreeing a bit on where their best shot is to set up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Still open water as you can see bands of LES developing way out over the lake north of Cleveland, which usually freezes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
