NORTHWESTERN CATTARAUGUS...ERIE...NORTHERN CHAUTAUQUA AND GENESEE COUNTIES... A band of heavy lake effect snow producing snow fall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour will remain nearly stationary through mid morning across the southern half of the Buffalo Metro area along and south of a line from downtown to the airport. Heavy lake effect snow also extends eastward into Genesee County, and southwest down the Lake Erie shore to Dunkirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my favorite type of band, gets nearly everyone involved. The strongest part is over KBUF right now, a second strong band near my place.

Moist cyclonic flow with air temps in the low 20’s and lake temps in the 40’s is always a winning combo! Not sure where the official forecast ended up, but seems like these relatively early season events usually overproduce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jculligan Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 20 minutes ago, BuffaloWeather said: I really appreciate your reports! I have family in Hamburg and I began telling them to expect 2-3 feet of snow back on Thursday. I am formerly 'kulaginman' operating under a new account, by the way lol. I've been using the RGEM as my "go to" meso model recently, as that handled the recent synoptic event with insane mesoscale banding very well here in New England. If the RGEM is correct with the placement of the LES band...you should be solidly in the crosshairs until at least 5-6pm today. I would anticipate at least another 16-22" of snow in your location today. You are definitely pulling a three-footer out of this. Enjoy it!! Yesterday's 3.34" of rain and 53-degree temps wiped out our meager snowpack here in New Hampshire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you recently move to NH? I was getting a little worried with how the models were trending but as Bumble pointed out these early season events with full length of the lake and above average lake temps usually overperform. The RGEM has been my favorite model for lake effect for a long time, its by far the most accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My new spot is at 1500' in the eastern White Mountains and averages 100-120"/year. It's a great spot for synoptic snowfall...USUALLY. We have struggled to get things going this year, but winter is long in these parts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many great winter activities up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
