What’s it doing at your house, Matt? Just shared...it reformed over us, so it's snowing pretty good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 It might be your time, Matt. The band is organizing over you. Now the question is how long will it reside there? I was in that area of lighter returns for a while, now it’s starting to pick up again here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just on the edge of the light greens NE of Baldwinsville. Would love it to settle just a little bit southwest more. Looks like Syrmax is getting hit nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Eh, I don't know. It looks like it's going to move out as fast as it came. Lol. Bville is just in a crap location. Too far west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still looks good to me. Obviously looks better for my area then northtowns. Several disturbances will traverse through a thermal trough that will extend from the Upper Great Lakes across Lake Ontario during the Monday night through Tuesday night time period. Unlike the days leading into this period...a colder airmass with H85 temps of -10 to -12c will certainly support enough instability over the lakes for pure lake effect. This will focus accumulating lake snows east of both lakes. Headlines will likely be needed for this 36 hour period. The trough will push south of Lake Ontario on Wednesday...and with a -15c H85 airmass in place...fairly widespread lake snow showers can be anticipated for the western counties. Ridging Wednesday night with non-diurnal temp trend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Tonights event is going to be a close call in how far the band gets north. Mon into Tuesday will easily get to Metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 34 degrees right now so you know what the consistency of the snow is like. One of these times where we lose part of of the accumulation to melting, especially midday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfield, I remember many times going into Pulaski and there was no snow because the winds jumped the band over the town, or the lake made it milder and it rained. I lived very close to Lake Michigan and it had the same effect. I wonder where the official measurements are taken. There is probably a big difference between downtown and the east side towards Altmar and Orwell. Yeah that's the new "pattern" now but wasn't always like that lol The warmth from the lake hurts mostly during early and late season events..The wind does blow stronger out of the west-wsw which leads to more upslope and less of a band but places like Altmar/orwell don't have much elevation either..(more than pulaski though).. Pulaski had 200+ in 00/01, 02/03, 03/04, 06/07, 07/08, 08/09 and 10/11.. Maybe this is the"norm" and that was just a great decade lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our average temps of the month being around 40 for highs and the low barely reaching down to freezing, I think we are on course for way above average temp January. Several days this upcoming week we are still going to be in the mid 30s. I fear we heading into this as normal for winters from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only area that benefits from that is Northern Tug and Watertown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Here we have suffered more with the lows as the Avg high through the first 1/3 of the month was 30° and an average low of 20°.. We have had a couple days quite a bit above average this past week so those numbers are sure to go up next update.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 ..and the band is moving out and back north. I don't think a lake effect band can last longer than an hour here. Oh well...on to the next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it, those who are cashing in! After living in Lake effect zones for over a decade, I have come to realize that LES is over-rated. Much of the time, it's piddly little pennies (not nickel and dimes). HOWEVER, when you can get a COLD winter, LES rocks. Clipper patterns with cold are what make LES amazing. BUT, cold air has been severely lacking...so unless you live at a higher elevation, LES is almost more frustrating than enjoyable. Several consecutive years of this now.
