SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Changed over to more snow vs rain here as of 10 pm. Big wet flakes starting to stick on a few surfaces. See what the night brings I guess! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Back to more sleet than snow. Temp at 32 degrees. Gonna be a long night of flip flopping here I think. I think 10 miles north of me does well but BuffaloWeather and I are right on the cutoff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Happy for you guys in the Northern Gen. Valley and Niagara Frontier. I wasn't paying too close to here, but was a bit surprised to see it's down to 35 and a bit of a mix occurring. I've seen a few very occasional snowflakes mixing in once in a while.

Expand At some point, you would think they might attempt to figure out what's going on, esp since are using that data to make statements about record warmth.

Expand I was surprised at the AFDs basically blowing off the GFS without a whole lot of reservation. They've been basking in record high temps in the 70s down there so maybe that's a factor.

Expand It's strange...because Albany and Rochester's have actually had issues on the other end with being too cold. So I'm not sure about that?

Expand Yeah, the snowfalls we've had here this year have come a day or two after temps in the 50 to 70 degree range and have accumulated ok. They definitely melt much faster afterwards though!

BuffaloWeather Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 30 hours with a strong LES band over BUF on GFS. Classic SW flow event.
