wolfie09 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Lake snows continue east of the lakes tonight. Expect at least a few more inches in the most persistent snow showers with localized higher amounts across southern portions of Erie county. Otherwise will be a chilly night with low temperatures dropping into the 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Radar trends show the band off Lake Erie has intensified during the past hour or two, likely due to an increase in mid-level moisture and a longer fetch due to the southwest winds. These conditions will not change much until late this evening when wind shear increases and winds weaken. Model QPF guidance is too far south with this band, so adjusted accordingly. Since the band should maintain through around 10 p.m. had the confidence to issue a Winter Weather Advisory for Southern Erie county. The band should generally remain in place through 7 p.m. then may meander slightly north between 7-10 p.m. before weakening and moving south after that. Greatest amounts expected to be centered somewhere near Hamburg, with impacts extending across the Southtowns this evening. Expecting 3 to 6 inches of snow accumulation in most persistent snows. As typical with lake effect snow, this will be localized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sferic Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 My observations of relocating to Cicero NY as my main place as opposed to Long Island WOW! First I am confused how Channel 3 NBC and Channel 5 CBS ( Syracuse channels ) share the same met Peter Hall during these channels same respective news slots Final snow depth from our nice little snowfall in Cicero was 3.5 inches My wife and I went to the fairgrounds today to get our booster. After driving three miles from exit 30 (rt 31) to around exit 27 I went from snow cover to nada Imagine had I bought in Brewerton, Mallory or Central Square. ( National Grid does not provide natural gas past a certain point and that was key) Anyway, like Peter Hall as a weather authority though have to find out why he is on 2 channels Hopefully a couple of inches tomorrow into Thursday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Nice! Talk about a blown forecast on this lake band tonight. KBUF missed it… Mesos missed… that’s why as frustrating as it can be with the lack of snow, the surprise events are great. Went from less than an inch to a what’s looking like a warning level snowfall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
