AKE EFFECT STORM
December 28-29, 2020

Maximum Snowfall:  Lk. Ontario 13.0" (Sand Ridge), 9.0" (Fulton)
Duration:  12 hours +/-
Flake Scale:  1 flake *

This lake effect event was localized to southern Oswego County, NY from Monday 
evening, December 28 to Tuesday morning, December 29. A lake effect band over the
Tug Hill Plateau region shifted south into Oswego county where it became narrow
but significant with 2"/hr rates. A narrow swath of 9-13 inches was observed over
southern Oswego county. 

An upper level trough was centered over the Great Lakes with 850mb temperatures
around -10 C over Lake Ontario Monday evening. A band of lake effect snow was 
ongoing east of Lake Ontario as a cold, westerly flow resided over Lake Ontario.
Lake temperatures off Greece, NY were in the low 40's F during this event and
produced ample lake induced instability with lake equilibrium levels around 10K. 
Snowfall rates east of Lake Ontario averaged 1-2"/hr over the Tug Hill early 
Monday evening.

A wind shift from the northwest disrupted the lake effect band over the Tug Hill
Plateau Monday evening and shifted it south over southern Oswego county by late 
Monday evening. Colder air moved overhead Monday night with 850mb temperatures 
falling to -14 C. Northwest flow allowed an upstream lake connection to take 
place and lake equilibrium levels rose to about 12k feet. A robust lake response
began over southern Oswego county overnight and continued into Tuesday morning. 
Snowfall rates averaged 2"/hr overnight.

The short duration of the event and relatively small area of significant 
accumulation in a sparsely populated area where there were only minor impacts 
prevented this event from earning more than a single star *.

Thats exactly where I live, Sand Ridge and that snow is still at the bottom, lol, as we still never thawed since that event, suffice to say, we've had solid snow cover since then!

Could we get to 5” today? I’m also at 3.2”...my guess is just shy but these ratios have the Mets confused. 4 to 4.5 is likely and I noticed the NWS did up the aerial amount to 2-4”

3.9" was my total for event. Died down quicker than I thought, brings me to an even 71" on the year.

The snow that's falling right now in my area has to be the best accumulating snow that I've seen so far this season. It's got to be at least 25-30 to 1 ratio right now easily, styrofoam consistency!

You’ll be able to clear 6 inches with a leaf blower.

Very fluffy snow falling here.

The thing about today's snowfall is it's that kind of snow where you can literally SEE THROUGH it. If you look at your car, you don't think you have much because you can still see the car...but then go to brush it, and it's deeper than you think.
