TugHillMatt Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Why have these systems always gotten "hung up" where they're making progress and then they get into our region and everything pauses? Then it just trains...every system that has taken this route this year. I thought for sure I would see something by now with the way the radar looked before bed. But, alas, it somehow shunted just to the southeast of the Cuse and we sit in the zone of boredom. It looks like things are finally starting to move east now.

TugHillMatt Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Oh well...it would probably be rain here anyways. 38 degrees in the Cuse while everyone else sits in the low to miss 30s... Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked great last night when I went to bed, looks about 2” eyeballing it. Figured the way it was coming down and accumulating last night that we’d have at least 4-6”. Glad I set the bar low lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Definitley a bust compared to the forecast but exactly what I was expecting. Back edge of the snow moving towards us fast. Looks like snow will shutoff by 8-9am at the latest. I have about 3 inches on the deck, maybe an inch on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go out and measure...3.9” and still coming down moderate. Should end with near 5” by the end of the event. That’s smack in the middle of 4-6”.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Surprised to find less snow at work in Hamburg Village which is further inland from the lake than my house is. Only 2.5 inches here. Roads are a disaster everywhere though, don’t think town of Hamburg or Evans has any plow or salt trucks out what so ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 3-3.5” here. Still a light more grainy snow now. Probably for the best as looks like the right amount of snow to make everything look nice without any damage. Checking the radar from overnight looks like after the initial banding that pushed through after 1am the precip field really didn’t fill back in that great for a while and stayed more north and west of the city.

BuffaloWeather Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 This is 1:6 ratios, not 1:10 as modeled. QPF was right on track, but you can't use 1:10 in late April. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Dusting # 43444934202 this morning. Now in the typical dryslot while everything reforms just to the north...allowing what we had to begin melting...so that by the time the main band gets here it will be too warm in full sunlight to accumulate.

Enjoy your beautiful wintry morning, Western NY friends. This winter is dead to me. I hear ya. It’s been a terrible winter here in Rochester too; so, at least you aren’t alone bro. Every station across WNY is reporting Light Snow. Light Snow just isn’t going to get it done this time of year. BUF did ok, as did the Niagara peninsula (they’ve had a great winter). Storm track just wasn’t favorable for anyone but extreme WNY this entire season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
