DeltaT13 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 This is the best I’ve done from an Erie band in a long time. I’m trying to see my snowboard out the window (too lazy to get out of bed yet) and it looks like I have almost 6 new inches of fluff with huge flakes still coming!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinksnow18 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Can anyone else see breaks in the clouds above? Still snowing but a weird look for sure...never mind I’m in the split part of the band right now, wondering if the southern band makes it this far north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinksnow18 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Southern band has definitely shifted further north and is almost near the 90 interchange. My guess is this continues and the two bands become one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 That northern band is toast and that southern band is not going to make it this far north. I think S Cheektowaga, maybe the airport is as far north as that one will get. That southern band is looking great though and has been absolutely pounding WS for the last 1 hr + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthBuffaloSteve Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Just about to get back into this band shortly. If it holds like this and stalls for the first half of the day maybe we can salvage the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 ...A BAND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL AFFECT NORTHWESTERN WYOMING... CENTRAL ERIE AND GENESEE COUNTIES... A band of heavy lake effect snow producing snowfall rates of around 2 inches per hour will remain in place from the immediate Buffalo Southtowns eastward to much of Genesee County.

Thinksnow18 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Band has definitely merged, snowing here again and it looks to be in this state for some time...being on the northern periphery I’m not expecting much more than an inch or two but it will get me to 4 or 5 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNash Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 What an appropriate end to a sorry lake season off Erie that IMBY grades out to a D instead of an F solely because of the one double-barreled event after Christmas that put down a little less than 15” over three days and barely verified the warning criteria. KBUF is just under 4 ft on the year, about half of which came from doing well over the few days after Christmas. By mostly missing out on that solid event, points north of the airport are well under 3 ft. Without getting lucky with synoptic, this will be a bottom 10 season for much of the metro, and may even be close to bottom 10 for the official station. I’m going to toss this season and spend this morning ordering seeds for my vegetable garden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a common theme bro whenever we get these SW type events either high winds tear them apart or we get stuck on a transition zone.. long gone are those events where we get a decent band that stays put for 12hr+ and dumps snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 All the HRW guidance is showing several inches here today, not sure I buy it but we'll see lol Not something I see everyday from SW/WSW flow.. Sitting on the southern edge at the moment, in and out of burst.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I stand corrected. We have about 3-4”. I’ll measure better in a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I shouldn’t have made that first post but I did mention I was looking at the stake from the bedroom window with sleepy eyes. Lol. I will take an average of a few places where I know it was bare yesterday. My wife just drove into the city and said there were vastly varying amounts of snow between gates and roc which is typical. The band is always dying quickly out this way. my position a couple miles west of the airport might produce a noticeable difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Congrats to all those in WNY who cashed in. Checking out one of my favorite webcams, it indeed looks like ROC city is getting some nice snowfall. Sunny morning here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWC just showed the whole radar and almost 2/3 lake view, the band is shifting pretty far near long point and if I remember correctly that equates to about an hour upwind. Winds in Cleveland are almost SSW at this point. Looks good for us for early afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
