BuffaloWeather Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Mets are struggling this winter lol. All snow here for entire event. Albeit very wet snow. Radar loop 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 This is a powerful little system that seems to have been overlooked by most Mets and the public as well. Heavy snow here presently and the snow isn't having any problems sticking either but that may change later on this afternoon as diurnal changes take place. 29 degrees here atm and I doubt we get much higher than the freezing mark tday. There's a double Jet structure up at the 500mb level which is enhancing the lift in the right exit quadrant of the Jet! Also up at the 300mb level where there also exists a Jet Streak of 140 kts which is also enhancing lift thats why there is two enhanced areas of precip, one in Eastern PA and the other in WNY, sweet! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGM Blizzard Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Light to mod snow here. I'd say around a half inch so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Well to be fair the NWS uses guidance just like we do lol If you guys are surprised so are they lol Are they supposed to forecast snow amounts that the models don't show? Now they have been slow to react at times.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they have been slow to react at times.. They know a little more about thermals, atmospheric conditions, weather balloons, and 20-30 years experience then we do but I agree. They have more tools at their disposal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Lake Erie added some enhancement with marginal temps as this went through, pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 But its also the end of February and the Public should be accustomed to driving in adverse weather conditions by now I'd think, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Temps have actually been dropping not increasing so far, down a couple degrees to 25° but flakes a little on the smallish side at the moment.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Been snowing moderate to heavy for the last hour. I’m a little disappointed with the accumulation of 0.4 inch on LE of 0.03. Flake size has been small up to this point but it seems to be picking up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
