Fresh coating on the road again. . Not much happening on the northern extent of the band...in fact I'm kinda right in the thick of it and it's snowing but lightly and mixing with rain.

Depends how far inland you were...where I live in east Williamsville theres more snow than Williamsville near the walker center...the setup was very marginal from the onset of this event. Lackawanna by the toll barriers has a lot less that areas just east of there by quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a core sample off my board at 2pm today. 2.9” of snow melted down to 1.55” of liquid. Granted a lot of that was rain getting absorbed into the snow but still crazy. .

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Picked up additional 2.2” of snow since I cleared this morning bringing my storm total to 4.6” but only about 3-3.5” on the ground. Literally probably the heaviest snow I have ever seen except for maybe October 2006. As others have said if it was a few degrees colder we’d be talking a foot plus easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthBuffaloSteve Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 18 GFS still holding onto that area of low pressure rapidly deepening as it cuts up through the lakes next week Tuesday into Wednesday. 12 Euro has a very similar but weaker low during the same time. Still a week out but the one thing the models have been good at hitting so far this year is the wind storms with this track so bears some close watching. SW winds gusting 60-70mph up the lake behind the trailing cold front with a lake effect band sinking south through the city.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that scares me about that set up is the winds tearing apart the lake bands. I would hope the winds would still be SW and slacked by a good bit.

Buckeyes_Suck Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Just cleared 8” of the heaviest snow ever...took 2 hours as opposed to 45 minutes. SouthEast Clarence. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthEast Clarence. I'm really starting to think the sweet spot was right the main Street area of Clarence. Once I get out of my neighborhood (1 mile) snow depth increases dramatically each street you get to and as you head east the depth gets greater. It would make sense as that's where the area of greatest convergence was. Last evening I noticed the band would make it to my house but then would wobble south a bit and the wind direction would change to more westerly.
