Pavement always showing 2) Quick shovelers - piles strewn all about the sides of the driveways collapsing into the driveway in places 3) The "Ain't nobody got time for that"ers - driveway covered with inches of snow with 100 tire tracks in and out and a car stuck halfway up the drive 4) The bitters - Their driveway is clean until about 3 feet from the end where they just bulldoze over the pile the plow left and they're too pissed to clean it up because the plow came AFTER they were done.

If a warning, probably a WSW up your way since there would be atleast some snow and sleet beforehand. Possibly ISW for atleast some of their lower Hudson county zones though where it looks like it's entirely a rain vs freezing rain event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right where we need to be. I'm kind of with you here. Feel bad for SYR on south and east, but the NW trend seems to be working out OK for ROC on these runs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last snow was overnight and went over with my car like 10 times so I think I qualify for # 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a whole study in Psychology. As a kid I would try to put all the snow in two piles. One at the top of the driveway and one at the bottom. I currently live in a townhouse now so instead I only go one direction and thats my tiny 30 foot by 5 foot piece of "front lawn". The wife thinks its funny that I do that and its noticeable to everyone in our neighbourhood haha. Everyone else has uneven snow piles but ours is already about 3 feet tall by 5 feet wide. Excited to see what happens with this storm haha. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s currently the biggest it’s been since 2015. Might be in record territory by the end of this week. I’m glad I’m not the only one that does this!

Like any "normal" person in everyday society really cares about that lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 14 minutes ago, Ericjcrash said: Yeah probably split up the CWA This has more of a snow to sleet, then maybe some freezing drizzle look to me rather than a real ice storm, even with Euro spitting out a half inch of freezing rain at KALB. Maybe for areas further south and east. Either way, its probably (and hopefully) moving way too quickly to be too disruptive. No offense to our fine friends to our west, but if it were more of a pure ice storm, I'd just root for it to go 200 miles to our NW, so we'd flip to rain and dryslot. This should be a great synoptic week for WNY! Hopefully we can get something again before the end of winter. Even with big storms the past couple seasons, we've had plenty of below average winters lately overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we both worked we used to do that. The only trouble is getting hung up at the end of the driveway. I’ve done that a few times luckily I had a neighbor stop and help my wife push me out. Now we can take our time getting the snowblower out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are my cousins and my sister from the December 2001 lake effect snow event in the city of Buffalo. That snow pile was above the power lines after we got hit with 3 more feet of snow during that last event of the week. We got 7 feet of snow in 5 days that week. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowLover22 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 The good news is... everything goes well this week and we are average. So after this week anything else is gravy. If this week goes well the winter automatically gets a B+ no matter what happens next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96blizz Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Forget amounts. I think the worst trend of this storm is the speed. It’s basically out of here by early morning Tuesday. The best snowstorm is a day snowstorm. Now I have to stay up late on Monday, Jeb walk and rate driveways on the new scale which will only make my Tuesday harder on me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
