That’s what you were in the middle of. He has no clue what he's in store for and I love it as KWRT hasn't been in a band yet, and if conditions are what they are already, I can only imagine what rt11's gonna look like at around 8 this evening, lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Look at the West end of the Lake and it has a b line right for the North Country! Carthage should be ground Zero for this one up there as they usually are in this set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 This is about the best setup Rochester could hope for in regards to Lake Effect from Erie and all we have is some snow in the air and flurries now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 You can really see the areas that are still open on the west end of Lake Erie right now that are the main sources for the initial LE clouds near/north of Kelleys Island and Put-in-Bay. It's hard to say for sure but it looks like the north end of Erie by Long Point is also almost fully open which is why we have the double band structure right now, and even 250/260ish winds could keep that secondary band in BUF for a while longer, if it can manage to hold together.

Ok, fine its light snow with 4 mile visibility. And less than an eighth of an inch accumulation since yesterday. Just saying we won't and don't get 6 inch amounts as some posters implied...... That said, the wind is doing work in regards to lowering visibility. Far more than the snow coming down is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Bah. West wind areas off both Lakes have been screwed all winter. Each model run seems to be moving the snow band a bit farther north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Biggest but in my lifetime in West Seneca. Just went out and measured 5.1” total snowfall for the event. Literally not a single flake falling and sun is shining through the clouds. 5 miles away. Over a foot, snowing 3” an hour, total blizzard conditions. It is literally a beautiful day outside here. It’s absolutely unreal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wondered this and the best I can come up with is that elevation change that I posted yesterday. Looking at proximity alone, you would think Rochester could get rocked by that band, but as soon as it leaves Gene-see county is just evaporates. It's brutal but I've come to terms with it a long time ago and never get my hopes up anymore. I just know it won't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My work in Hamburg closed early and now I’m stuck at home in sunshine in West Seneca with a state of emergency all around me with sunshine here. This is unreal.

TugHillMatt Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Better enjoy the snow we get before we flip the page into April next week! 3 rainy systems in a row to once again, melt whatever great snow pack you get.

You just drive through that shit and play dumb man if you get pulled over. Have a good story about coming home from work and having no other option. Worth the ticket, plus those guys have WAY more important things to do than chase around a passenger car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, your in for a great experience so enjoy and be safe if you venture out in it and most of all make sure you have an emergency Winter kit with you as well cause its going to get down-right dangerous to be outdoors after nightfall unless ur in a lit up area. Can't imagine driving on Rt81 thats for damn sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I hope it goes to 50 degrees and stays that way for the rest of winter. Was a great 10 day stretch, besides that nothing but awful. Spring can’t come soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a WNW band will never hit me and stay over me as its either a true WNW and its just to my North, and its a little too far NW and it heads for KSYR, so it sucks but it is what it is I suppose!

OSUmetstud Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I feel rochester when im hoping for southwesterly squalls across the avalon peninsula from placentia bay in southwesterly flow...its about the same distance. Sometimes we get lucky with like 2-4 inches, but usually need a trough involved as opposed to more pure banding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
