Major Winter Storm 2/6-2/7 OBS


Recommended Posts

Jim Teske on WSYR 9 (who we like) at 6pm newscast had 4-8" for SyR and SE.  8-12" N&W, basically a SW/NE line thru CNY. Though...he said he is likely to move that line further SE to include SYR proper based on "new" modeling. I'm assuming that's the 12Z suite of models. Hard to argue with that.

 New Burlington Nightly discussion !!!the forecast area remains unsaturated in the DGZ with the
exception of far northern New York and the St. Lawrence Valley.
Thus, through 12Z Friday expect precip mainly in the form of
snow north of a line from Star Lake to Plattsburgh, NY to Jay
Peak, VT where accumulations of 4-8" is expected. Eastward and
generally north of I-89 we`re looking at a mix of snow, sleet
and freezing rain while southward precip will be mainly freezing
rain/drizzle. Snowfall accumulations here will generally be
light in the 1-3" range with a glaze of ice possible, and
southward no snow but up to 2 tenths of an inch of ice is
expected.

As we progress into early Friday morning, expect the areal
coverage/intensity of precip to increase, as deep moisture and
better lift develops from a number of ingredients. The idea of
expanding pops to 100% near the international border and
spreading them into VT looks good, given the sharpening boundary
and favorable jet dynamics. Guidance still indicating warm layer
btwn 800 and 700mb of 2 to 3c, associated with brisk southwest
flow, but this should quickly erode as strong dynamics and rapid
cyclogenesis occurs during Friday morning, with mixed precip
changing to snow from nw to se. Timing of how quickly the
changeover occurs will play a huge role in the amount of
snowfall on Friday, but crnt fcst of an additional 10 to 20
inches north and 2 to 8 south looks good.

Some big time ice last few hours here. Even streets are completely glazed over. My ice brush broke trying to get through it, pretty thick. There needs to be a warning in place not an advisory. 

Pretty significant glazing of ice here too. Now we’re absolutely pounding sleet. Heaviest sleet I’ve ever seen in my life. Went out to move the cars around and the sleet literally hurt my face is was coming down so hard.

Hopefully the sleet means the column is starting to cool.  It’s snowing across the lake in Toronto.

I can confirm it's snowing lol.

The column will cool once the storm begins to deepen so it'll likely transition over to snow soon for you guys.

Same here where is your OBS from tonight? How was your trip to the Dacks? :)

I just got back from a week up there. I had made a post last night with some nice pics but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. It must have gotten lost in the internet ether.  Conditions at Whiteface were pretty damn good considering the winter we’ve had.  It was extremely painful to leave today with 15-20 inches knocking on their door :(

I can imagine. I would make up an excuse to stay until it’s done lol.
