SouthBuffaloSteve Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Seiche is going to end up a bit weak sauce in the end. Wont rival the over 11 ft event from jan 2008. Its leveling off now. The wind shift speed change wasnt abrupt and violent enough to be ideal. Toledo has a little hiccup earlier but is still steadily dropping actually below LWD right now... Buffalo is gonna keep rising especially now that the ice is moving over the boom.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been leveling off at bufn6 the last 20 minutes or so...so they usually means the rise is mostly done aside from a few inches here or there. I think the double front kept the seiche at bay. An abrupt wind shift from east to sw is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neighbor just lost about 10% of his shingles, a large branch came down in another neighbor's backyard. Our house is shaking in the strongest gusts.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I'm wondering if the strong winds will blow some of the ice off of Lake Erie into the Niagara River, creating an ice bridge, despite the ice boom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Just now, BuffaloWeather said: Might make for some nice photo opportunities in a few days time, but perhaps not good for property around the gorge. I recall that back in the mid 90s, the ice boom malfunctioned, a big ice bridge formed, and some of the Maid of the Mist boats were damaged.

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Windy as heck downtown and now the snow is coming in. Feels like little needles when the snow hits you at 70mph. Seeing some minor damage nothing crazy yet. Traffic lights down. Some large branches and siding. Seiche really didn’t go extreme. Looks like the ice walled in around the harbor. It’s crashing on top of the ice sheet but not making it to shore.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southbuffalowx Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Not in the area to expect the full blast of the winds, but we do have a high wind warning down here for the night. 60-65 mph they are saying. Seems like some pretty widespread damage reports on the NWS site. I was particularly amused by this one, considering how much every student hates the bookstore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 What do you think, wolfie? We finally get west winds for lake effect, and they're so strong snow bands will blow over us to the Dacks. North, south, west...now east. Yep, I am complaining...because this has been one frustrating winter. Odds are I won't be here next winter to see a REAL lake Ontario lake effect event.

DeltaT13 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 We really needed strong diurnal mixing to take this event to the next level. Timing was off by a hair. Rochester seems to have dodged the bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
