Thinksnow18 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Beginning to snow again in Williamsville. Band looks to be no more than 4 or 5 miles wide so it might just make a pass through here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 15 minutes ago, AppsRunner said: For those downwind of Ontario not really seeing much right now... Band should lift at least a little northward through the afternoon and evening as winds start to back a bit more. Watertown got pretty unlucky yesterday where and east-west oriented band managed to stay due north of them for a while, and there's a pretty impressive snowfall gradient there by now. I'd have to imagine the band lifts to about Watertown/Carthage this evening before winds become a bit more WNWerly by late this evening. Flow looks fairly well aligned through most of the night and would point towards areas of central/northern Oswego county finally getting some appreciable snows. Inversion heights start to fall overnight so we aren't looking at the 2-4"/hr. in the core of the band right now, but still could see 2"/hr. rates for an extended period of time if the band stays fairly steady state. By Friday afternoon we may see one last swing up north as the band shrinks/weakens and warm air advection moves in. Still generally like the idea of about 24-36 from Sandy Creek to Adams Center and about 12-24 anywhere within 5 miles of that, especially in the Tug. Thanks for the write-up. Looking at models, I thought my best shot would be tonight. You think Redfield/Osceola could get appreciable amounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens so I’m still glad I made the trip. The ground blizzard last night was impressive. Would be good to get a last hurrah late this afternoon/evening as the bottom falls out on temps. I think you'll even make a run at getting into this band within the next couple hours if it continues to lift further north. If you have a car and want to attempt to drive to Adams or Adams Center you'll have a good time. 2 minutes ago, TugHillMatt said: Thanks for the write-up.

I'd be willing to bet Redfield gets at least 12", there's a 12-18 hour long period of better aligned flow tonight into tomorrow. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattny88 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Need your guys hrlp and thoughts? How much snow amounts you guys thinking for the city of oswego later this evening and into tonight once the winds toward mpre wnwesterly??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 This would not surprise me one bit haha Hrrr has been pretty consistent with developing a band just to the south for the overnight hours, close to the lake shore..

CNY-LES FREAK Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Not for nothing, but I really don't think this cold is that all impressive nor historic in any sense of the imagination. I've seen much colder temperatures in much better Winters put it that way. On the other hand the snow aspect of the winter has been quite a bismal to this point and I don't see any changesSent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattny88 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Wolfie, tughill, and cnylesfreak how much snow would you guys peg the city of oswego getting tonight once the winds align wnw??

TugHillMatt Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 My boss just handed me an article with pictures from this area when Redfield got over 11 feet of snow on one week of February 2007.

TugHillMatt Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Seriously? So the band jumps over us and reforms to the south? This winter is just too much. I am going to be bald by March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I can't believe how long they are letting some of these winter storm warnings run. Seems like East of Erie is pretty much in the clear now. Also, what does jebwalk mean? So confused on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I don't see that band, if even a band does develop in southern Oswego County somewhere I bet Fulton Palermo Central Square just to the north of me would be the best possible place to get tagged like I said if anything does in fact form, but I wouldn't really bet on it, at this point!Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southbuffalowx Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16&sector=cgl&band=GEOCOLOR&length=36 You can really see the frozen lake Erie today. Looks like the southern band should continue pushing north too, and is strengthening. I guess that's why they are leaving the winter storm warnings intact.

At least classes were cancelled today. 4 minutes ago, TugHillMatt said: Seriously? So the band jumps over us and reforms to the south? This winter is just too much. I am going to be bald by March. You're going to pick up some snow. The HRRR is bad with LES intensity/placement/inland extent. I can't say I ever really use it even during the events themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
