wolfie09 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I know it's been said but nice little follow up clipper.. Now if the clipper goes to far north, southerly wind could cause some rain showers to mix in.. Obviously not at that at point yet lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a project I've always wanted to work on. Obviously going to do 1977, 1993, 1995, 2001, 2006, 2010. Already did one for 2014. Let me know if you guys want any photos/videos added or any other storms you can think of. Here is the first one I completed for Blizzard of 1985. Some of the older storms its tough to get good content on. There were hardly any videos/photos for this storm. I want to make them a few minutes each if possible. There are so many storms in the Buffalo book of snowstorms that go way way back, but no content for them. There are a couple in there with 70"+ totals. =( Feb 1994 crushed the southern tier. Also December 2020! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 The storm lasted from January 27 to January 31, 1966, a total of 4½ days. The daily snowfall totals for Oswego are as follows. January 27, 1966: 8 inches (20 cm) January 28, 1966: 12 inches (30 cm) January 29, 1966: 11 inches (28 cm) January 30, 1966: 21 inches (53 cm) January 31, 1966: 50 inches (130 cm) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Woke up to a period of snow with a layer of sleet/graupel/snow on everything earlier this morning. My remaining several inches of snowpack is DENSE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 11 and living in Little Falls in the Mohawk Valley. We didn’t get as much snow as Syracuse and Oswego but probably got at least 2 feet. The feature that really made this storm memorable was the constant strong winds. Whenever roads, especially in the country, were plowed they would almost immediately drift back in. We didn’t have school for a week. The thruway was closed and people became stranded. A relatively new vehicle, the snowmobile, was used to check stranded cars. Snowmobiles we’re also used to bring essential supplies to people stuck in their houses. The Indian Castle rest area just outside of Little Falls became a refuge for hundreds of travelers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was probably the "Lindsey Storm" of 1969 in NYC. Under/un forecasted and caught everyone with their pants down. It's blamed for the NYC Mayor Lindsey losing re-election, IIRC, as NYC's snow removal was atrocious. I was in NNJ for that as a wee lad. We had some very solid snowstorms in late 60's / early 70's there. Than i moved to SE VA. Game Over other than the winter of 77-78 where the James and York Rivers froze down to Hampton Roads and we actually had snow cover for an extended period.

CNY-LES FREAK Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I think Izzy is gonna be a nice region wide snowfall with some serious totals coming in directly South of Ontario and the to the SE of the Lake as the LE sets up behind the departing LP. I'm gonna stick around for this one cause it has the potential to be a KU, one for the record books!Temps are cold throughout and 3 days before the system starts to affect our region of the NE. I haven't even looked at any models as of yet cause I can't imagine their all in agreement this far out, but I could be wrong. I'm just thinking what can possibly go wrong, lol, and we know, all too well, the answer to that one, lol!!Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-LES FREAK Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 It's looking more and more like a phased Miller B as opposed to a Miller A, when she rides up the whole eastern seaboard like 93', but it looks like the SLP gets captured for a partial phase but I'm just going off what I seen on TWC.

BuffaloWeather Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 After the MLK day storm Though on a smaller scale, this period features additional chances for snow each day behind the departing large scale winter storm. Tuesday lake effect snow will continue to the south and southeast of the Lakes. Snow will likely be found heaviest near Lake Ontario where a secondary trough will be dropping across the Lake, enhance low level convergence and moisture. Wednesday a fast moving alberta clipper will pass across our region, leaving several inches of snow in its wake. Ahead of this feature temperatures will rise to around freezing Wednesday before another arctic airmass drops across our region to close out the week. Thursday will be colder with highs in the lower 20s, with chances for lake effect snow south of Lake Ontario on a light northerly flow. With the arctic airmass featuring little ambient moisture, any lake effect snow will be fluffy and light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then we didn’t take pictures or videos like we do today. If we had smartphones then I would have taken hundreds. There are some videos on YouTube. I’ll list a few I’ve found. Some of them were done by local TV stations to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the storm. This one was done by a guy in Rochester: From Syracuse.com: https://cnycentral.com/news/local/50-years-later-remembering-the-blizzard-of-66 Good luck with your project. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Can't say I've ever seen the coldest air in 3-4 yrs with no snow on the ground, definitely going to be a weird day tomorrow. .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... ***Active weather pattern with chances for snow*** Lake snows will be ongoing Tuesday morning focusing east and southeast of both lakes. Winds will then back to the west and southwest by Tuesday afternoon and evening sending lake snows north off both lakes ahead of a clipper low. The clipper low will then approach the region late Tuesday night with increasing chances for for snow as we head into Wednesday. Canadian-NH and GFS in general agreement that a clipper low will track near the N. shore of Lake Ontario into the North Country on Wednesday. Although, the 00Z/14 ECMWF tracks is a bit further north into Canada with less widespread precip for our area. Have gone with a blend of models at this point due to the uncertainty of the track of the clipper. Still think there could be several inches of snow with this clipper system. With its passage, a much colder air mass will filter into the eastern Great Lakes with 850 hpa plunging down to -20C/-23C by Thursday morning. Thursday, a cold northwest flow (wind chill values in the single digits to below zero) will be felt with lake snows focusing east and southeast of both lakes again. The air mass looks dry but there still could be some light accumulations in the most persistent snows, especially with any upstream connections coming into play. Thursday night, lake snows will all but wrap up with just some flurries east and southeast of the both lakes. Friday, looks mainly dry but continued cold with highs in the teens to low 20s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
