It's lightened up a bit here in Williamsville I'm approaching 5" for the storm and look good for another 4 or 5 with more heavy snow over the lake heading towards WNY...looks like a fun 4 or 5 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthBuffaloSteve Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Anyone around BUF take any measurements lately? I just did an 8pm stick and have 5.2” on my board. Seems high to me but with a NE wind I have no exposure to drifting in the yard so maybe just the fact it’s been able to accumulate on the board all day and not melting? .

I love weather and track models on tropical tidbits as a hobby. Hopefully I can be of some help here. You guys are awesome by the way. Great conversations and always amazing insight. Past two years lurking have been tough. I’m glad I’m no longer a lurker. I never knew I could post without paying for a membership. Lol stupid me What's your elevation? Are you in champlain valley?

Across the street from Champlain lake. At 2.5 inches currently. Elevation around 140 feet. Champlain valley, no lake effect here. Only luck is synoptic.

Syrmax Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Still just light mix, and dryslotting, 27F. We are losing previous accumulation ~1.5", hour for hour! An inverse snowstorm at this point. A new concept to explore? (Snowstorm)^(-1)? We can go places with this, Chief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I’ve seen the second half save a couple storms like this. Delta is right, you can stand on this stuff. Back in Irondequoit. Didn’t hit real snow until 2 miles from the lake shore. Roads are a disaster. Had to leave Pittsford once it changed to f’ing freezing rain. A cruel joke. 4.5” up here. Tried out the new snow blower on the compacted 3” in the driveway. Would’ve hurt to shovel even that tiny amount. Looking at 6:1 or similar. Anyone in Orleans or Niagara? OSU was right- no taint there as far as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much in synoptic the last 5 years with lots of coastal for areas like the I95 corridor. This year the low pressures seem to be cutting a little more. A low going through central NY is prime for areas like northern adirondacks but that dry slot is trouble fro central NY in those cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 7" on the dot in West Seneca as of 9:15pm. It's gonna be close to double digits with the final push the next 2-3 hours before much lighter snows push through before shutting off completely by 2-3 am by the looks of it.

We're still in this Max as its blossoming in WNY and pivoting Eastward so we should see a solid deformation zone later tonight or early in the AM but I doubt its over for us!
