The lake effect drivel might have got it to 50. I can buy 40" from the storm and 8-10" from enhancement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowing hardest it has whole event. Probably about 1” an hour right now. Wish this would last a few hours but it looks pretty transient with drying out behind it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericjcrash Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 With the pivot this can get wild. Incredibly heavy snow encompassing the capital district. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you can see the rotation north of Harrisburg after that it goes into the pivot. 3-4 hours at least of these rates, then the snow rates will weaken but not end until later this morning.

BuffaloWeather Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 ...Very heavy snow will continue early this morning... Expect snowfall rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour through 5 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...

I think BGM lands up 36”+ ALB may top 20” Awesome storm for them. Truly fun to watch even from afar. Pretty crazy when you can pull rates comparable with our top lake effect events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 From NE forums. This guy is a met. My buddy just measured 29” at his place near BGM. No end in sight. Based on radar he probably gets to 40”. Another poster just measured 31" just north of BGM. 5-6"/hr stuff. once in a lifetime thing glad I stayed up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah to be honest I seem to recall 48 or 50" for SYR which could have included back end lake enhancement or outright LES. I had a good write up on that event saved a couple of computers ago but that's gone. Not sure if it was an NWS product but I think it was. I can say that the map i posted was rubbish in SE CT. We had 3-5" on snow and then the kitchen sink of gruel thereafter. No way eastern CT had 6" on the coast. I was 15 miles inland and I measured 4". In West Hartford there was 20"...on the other side of the CT river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGM Blizzard Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I'm just speechless. My street has 24 inches on it and can't really leave the driveway except by foot now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really should have drove there and stayed at my uncles and aunts place in the hills of binghamton, its technically on the way to the Adirondacks where im going to Friday. Bad planning by me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 This was sort of well modeled in some respects (thinking slp) but what's going on near BGM is a galactic bust. Something like this was shown in 850/700 Fgen on some models...but over CPA. The mid levels were all wrong in placement, too far south by 40-100 miles i think. Also, the snowfall algorithms are going to be wrong in the other direction south of here, much of PA, and coastal areas. Will be interesting to see how SNE makes out. The warm nose was only hinted at down there and it ended up jacking down snow totals it seems so far. NWP snow algos are a general swag but we all go nuts on them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad planning by me. I was going to snow chase to BGM but didn’t think they’d get nearly this much, plus I was too lazy to drive there lol. Absolutely pissed I didn’t pull the trigger.

Never expected this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
