BuffaloWeather Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Last one is nearing 100 pages, figured to create a new one. The theme of the winter continues, warm air everywhere! Buffalo is -17" for snowfall for the year and +8.9 for temps for January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 As Matt mentioned in the previous thread, the +NAO has been detrimental. We haven't had a continuous -NAO in DJF since 2010-11. Most of us can get by with a neutral to slightly positive NAO but only if other indices can help us out. A strong La Niña similar to 2010-11 or 2007-08 will help reset the balance, imo. <<< Australia could use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Little over 2" of very wet snow.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Ship is slowly sailing.. This one had some potential lol Northern stream may drop an inch or two, whoop de do.. Icon is one of the farther NW models too..lol Euro and EPS have been unphased this entire time, so far.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the indices have been going the wrong way. It takes a lot to go wrong to get nearly +10 temps in January. If we get one indice to go the right way, the rest don't. Right now we have a PNA ridge but the EPO is really positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 So I'm pretty convinced that Oswego county (outside of the tug) is the dink and dunk capital of the east coast lol Places like Fulton are no different than Syracuse, they just dink and dunk more lol Here is the#of daily Snowfalls compared to annual Snowfall for Fulton, over the last 5 years.. 2015-2016 45 Snowfalls 106.2" 2016-2017 63 Snowfalls 159.8" 2017-2018 63 Snowfalls 174.2" 2018-2019 72 Snowfalls 139.8" 2019-2020 39 Snowfalls 51.3' About 80% of events are trace-3" lol Maybe 5-10% is an actual decent event.. Expectations now in check lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortmax Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Here's to hoping we get a couple big ones to satisfy the board here. Haven't even been able to use the new sleds we got the kids for Christmas... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be disappointed if we finally get some blocking in March and April and it ends up ruining Spring like in recent years. Just another awful winter in the string of awful winters since the 90s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storms in Feb and especially March just don't do it for me unless they are large ones. If we got another Feb 2007 or March 2008 that would be a different story.

My favorite winter period is from late Nov - early Feb. By mid-late Feb the Sun angle begins increasing and overall temps do as well. It's rare in our climate to get the same kind of Arctic outbreaks we'd get in Dec or Jan in late Feb and March. Winter just doesn't feel the same by then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Ukmet was a little better but it's pretty strong and compact..We need more Northern stream interaction to blossom the NW flank, which is what the Icon does.. Quite a bit of work to be done, that's for sure lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 It'll miss to the southeast, and then the Northern Stream will come in after and lift up milder air to give us showers...then some snow showers on the back side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I'm just hoping we get one Monster March Blizzard, which is actually climatologically favorable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Canadian has a lot of snow over the next 10 days, but it's D7-D10 and mostly all Lake effect, so yeah lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 It all just seems so odd to me. Storm is suppressed, yet our high will be in the 30s/40s over the weekend...sooo, we get showers. Such a frustrating winter. We had snow showers all day today, but probably did more damage to the snowpack than helped it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 That storm really isn't getting suppressed, just no mechanism to bring it north.. And as alluded to by the NWS and many on here, +Epo is keeping all the cold air north..Very far north lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
