Maddening It’s moving north still radar shows another 2 to 3 mile swing in it still...I’m ripping at about 2” an hour right now and maybe 3” coming up with what’s over the lake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I just got off the thruway in Batavia. Is the band whip lashing north only to move south? Winds over the Niagara peninsula look like they are shifting. Not sure if I should get back on and then get off at pembroke. Or head southwest towards Wyoming county and wait it out? Thoughts? It’s cranking pretty good in Batavia for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Pounding here. About 2”/hour rate. Just walked about 1/2 mile north to Main St (corner of Burroughs) and probably closer to 3”/hour there. FUN!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I'll be riding the RGEM like seabiscuit lol WRF models look pretty bad, hardly even have a band after 10 pm tonight..The NWS has 2"-3" an hour stuff overnight.. Rgem for example has over an inch liquid (1.25+ total) between 3z and 12z..I guess only time will tell... Boundary layer flow will then again veer westerly this evening, pushing heavy lake effect snow back south to the Tug Hill Plateau. Snowfall rates will continue at 2-3 inches per hour in the heaviest portion of this band through much of the night 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s cranking pretty good in Batavia for the record. Updated SWS ...A BAND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL AFFECT NORTHWESTERN WYOMING...ERIE AND GENESEE COUNTIES... At 1015 AM EST, A band of lake effect snow producing snow fall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour has moved slightly northward, with its southern flank extending from Angola to Elma to Attica and its northern flank now reaching the southern Grand Island Bridge to Amherst to Akron. Locations under the core of this heavy snow band include the City of Buffalo, the Buffalo Airport and towards Batavia. This band will continue to shift northward towards the Erie and Niagara County line through the late morning hours. 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. Conditions will deteriorate rapidly under this band of snow with visibilities under a quarter of a mile at times. Travel will be very difficult with deep snow covered roads. This includes Interstate 90 between exits 57A and 48. Other routes impacted include 219 north of North Boston, Route 400, and Routes 5 and 20 from near Angola to central Genesee County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinksnow18 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I’ve picked up 5” since I came back from tops and it didn’t start ripping until about 9:15am rates are insane can’t see 30 feet in front of you. Winds are almost SSW with the trajectory of the snow falling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
