Stash Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Still moderate snow, waiting on a heavier band shortly. Not that it matters at this juncture, but GFS even further north joining the others in hammering the BGM-ALB corridor tonight. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stash Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Borderline SN+. Will measure a little closer to midnight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the Halcyon days of yore when the coast got f*cked repeatedly ever year during most reasonable storms. And that was also the experience of my father...which would take one back into the earlier 1900s. Of course I was living near the coast so it tends to burn it into your skull.

Even having elevation down there, I can't count how many times we'd start with heavy snow, slowly morphing into parachutes, then pingers while BGM-ALB on north got hammered.

I'm in Guilderland right now, W-NW of ALB. Snow growth isn't as good as it was an hour ago, but its not quite poor or needle-like. Edit: As I typed this, its now pouring snow outside.

Definitely. I'll enjoy it while I can tonight. At some point this winter our lake effect friends here will sprint past us while I'm stuck with gray skies/flurries and obsessing over 300 hour GFS runs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Very heavy snow will continue overnight. Expect snowfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour through 3 AM with whiteout conditions. Travel will remain very difficult during this time. Motorists are urged not to travel. But if you must travel, be prepared for snow covered roads and near zero visibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Best snowstorm I experienced around BGM / Vestal was Christmas eve 1978. Forecast was a bit of snow then change to rain. Two Football playoff games on TV were more fun we thought. Well...heading out to midnight mass with my father, brother and 80 y.o. grandmother who insisted on going, there was probably 10" on ground and we got stuck in rear wheel drive station wagon at end of our street. Turned around and packed it in. Ended up with 18" XMas morning. Only idea we had was NE wind and the NWS forecast crawler on tv...which was comically running behind actual accumulations. The good old days. Before the internet ruined everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Not a flake of snow is flying, but the good thing is that I wasn't expecting anything anyway!

They are literally in the perfect spot for this storm. They have quite a bit of elevation on their farm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 This was a strong storm from end to end.
