Back to Back Major Synoptic Snowstorms!


 Share

Recommended Posts

This area of snow will move
into western New York early this evening. Snowfall rates will
quickly increase to 1-2 inches per hour once the snow begins.
These snowfall rates will likely last only a short period of
perhaps 3-6 hours for most places, but should hold on longer in
the Buffalo to Rochester corridor where a northeast flow will
bring lake enhancement, so we could be looking at these higher
snowfall rates for a longer duration likely from 10 pm tonight
through 7 am Tuesday morning. This area will likely receive the
highest snowfall totals of a foot or more, with most of snow
falling tonight and early Tuesday morning.

Hamilton been having the best run in its history I think

City of Hamilton
A major winter storm is expected.
Winter storm tonight into Tuesday morning giving 25 to 35 cm of snow.
Heavy snow is expected to develop over the entire region this evening and persist into Tuesday morning where at least 25 centimetres of snow is expected. Northeast winds gusting near 50 km/h will result in very poor visibility in blowing snow especially from midnight to Tuesday afternoon.
Even higher amounts of snow may be possible, up to 40 centimetres, in some locations due to extra moisture coming off Lake Ontario. Locally higher amounts may also occur on the higher elevations of the escarpment.
Travel will be extremely hazardous until the snow moves east of the region on Tuesday morning. Local blowing snow may persist until Tuesday afternoon.

I mean any snow in Hamilton is impressive, but 40cm is only 15 inches.  Which is more or less what a lot of this forum thought we were going to get just a day ago.  It's not earth shattering stuff though.

Light snow has started here in the BUF area.  Some nice appetizer flakes in advance of the main course tonight.  Topping a foot of snow from synoptic systems in BUF is no easy thing, let's see how this sucker plays out over the next 18 hours! 

Edited for IMBYism...

Topping 3" of snow from synoptic systems in SYR is no easy thing.
