SouthBuffaloSteve Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Upstream has me concerned how much longer this will stay over the metro. Feeder bands are drying out pretty quick. Can see a slight ripple with a possible wind shift heading over the lake from near Ling Point. Can also see what looks like a new band trying to setup on a due west flow into Southern Tier where main SW band was being fed from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Lake band definitley drying out quick. Probably only about 1- 1.5 inches an hour right now. Nowhere near an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Looks like things are petering out but I more than got my fill. Smashed right through the heart of those solid yellows for the last hour (pembroke through Akron and then Clarence). All the backroads had a good 8-12 inches on them, perfect for romping in the 4x4!! Now I’m Sitting at a rite aid on Transit. Probably will just make my way home as I think the show is winding down. Chasing in broad daylight is a million times nicer than at night. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Band is temporarily drying out, but some moisture is about to be added from the NW. Look at the strong returns off of Huron. I expect band to strengthen somewhat as it drifts south this afternoon. https://weather.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=CASET 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 NYZ001-002-010-011-085-261915- Southern Erie-Orleans-Genesee-Niagara-Northern Erie- 1130 AM EST Sat Dec 26 2020 ...A BAND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL AFFECT NORTHERN ERIE... SOUTHEASTERN NIAGARA...SOUTHERN ORLEANS AND NORTHERN GENESEE COUNTIES... At 1130 AM EST, A band of lake effect snow producing snow fall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour was located from near Hamburg to Alden to Batavia on the southern flank, and from near Grand Island to Rapids to Medina on the northern flank. Locations under the core of this heavy snow band include the City of Buffalo, the Buffalo Airport and towards Akron and Oakfield. This band of snow has reached its northern extent, and will remain nearly stationary through the noontime hour. During the early afternoon the snowband will begin to settle southward. Winds in excess of 30 mph are possible with this band of lake effect snow which will create blowing and drifting to the snow. A rumble of thunder is possible with the most intense portion of the snowband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep BW is spot on...the snow rates are about 1 to 2 inches an hour now and not as consistently heavy, in fact about 30 minutes ago I saw a peek of the sun where the clouds thinned a bit. I’m still in line for about 10 to 12 so I’m not at all complaining...but it also shows that extra 5 miles the models never show as thus is in southern Niagara as well as I don’t believe any models had that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 About 30 minutes ago when band was strongest here. Trees are about 30 yards away for reference. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
