As of 7am there were at .8" No need to split hairs, they are getting pounded now. Just curious where the discrepancy could be coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know in my backyard rain guage I'm up to 2.14" since it began. The band has shifted north into southern Ontario and southern Niagara so I'm in the lull now.

TugHillMatt Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 21 hours ago, winter_rules said: The forecast changes over the last few days have been a good winter preseason reminder for all of us that: a) The models will constantly show cold air *just* around the corner, and; b) The models will show multiple large lake effect events which will dwindle to a minor event, probably in a different location, once the event actually takes place. I’m not trying to be negative, but the 7-10 day forecast often looks cold and/or snowy, only for it to fade as we get closer to those actual dates. Then the process starts over again.... Good point and thanks for the reminder. Looks like it's been an interesting day for the Buffalo/Western NY folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 The CoCoRaHS spotter in West Seneca is closing in on 4.0” since midnight last night. Looks like the sweet spot ended up being South Buffalo, Lackawanna, West Seneca with that little sneaky area of lake enhancement we had overnight. Guess that 6” output might not be to far fetched if we get another round or two tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be the first to admit this rain has been more robust than I expected and the best instabilities are still yet to come!

Let’s break some records Kbuf Today was one of the warmer lake effect rain events I can remember. It was in the low 60’s here this afternoon with heavy lake effect rain. 40-50 degrees is probably a more typical temp range. Goes to show how warm the lake still is I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live close enough to Rochester to know that is probably our true temp anomaly as KBUF didn't fix the issue with the sensor for at leaat 10 days. And those beginning days were warm.
