BuffaloWeather Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 I knew they were wrong when they said 1" max snowfall rates! Check latest SPS, it calls for lots of buns Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Buffalo NY 851 AM EST Thu Jan 6 2022 NYZ010-011-085-061500- Southern Erie NY-Genesee NY-Northern Erie NY- 851 AM EST Thu Jan 6 2022 ...A LAKE EFFECT SNOW BAND WILL AFFECT PARTS OF SOUTHERN ERIE... GENESEE...AND NORTHERN ERIE COUNTIES... HAZARDS...A lake effect snow band which can rapidly reduce visibility to less than a quarter of a mile. This lake effect snow band is producing extremely heavy snow at the rate of 2 to 3 inches per hour. LOCATION AND MOVEMENT...At 846 AM EST, a lake effect snow band was over Buffalo extending east to western Genesee county. The lake effect snow band was nearly stationary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winter_rules Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 18 hours ago, TugHillMatt said: Sure! The Lake Michigan shoreline has a FANTASTIC state park system, along with community parks (where you can often park for free and then go swimming in the lake.) The natural sand dunes that exist along the shoreline are a sight to see. During the winter, the way the wind blows, the ice structures that form along the lake (different every year) are phenomenal. The communities along the lake also really invest in having celebrations and festivals throughout the year. (See Holland ,Grand Haven, etc...) As far as pace of life....when my wife and I went back to visit this summer, we were reminded of the "Michigan Goodbye." You start saying bye and then an hour later you're still enjoying each other's company. Relationships have more priority than here. New Yorkers, in my opinion, are uptight and prioritize tasks and time over relationships. People here are also stand-offish. Very generous...but have walls up. That's tough for a relational couple like us. It just takes more time...and people here apologize to us ALL the time if they feel like they are "wasting our time" or "sharing too much." We are always saying, "NO. That is what we want. RELAX." If we hadn't moved here to be closer to family, we would move back to West Michigan in a heartbeat. P.S. I love this subforum and the New Yorkers on here! Always interesting to hear perceptions of other places relative to “home.” Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to relax seriously and let things play out We got jipped in the Southtowns. The winds were WAYY too strong last night and the lake effect over us was weak and shredded apart, once it moved north and winds died down it organized quickly but it definitley underperformed here overnight. I got 1/2” of snow when I had 3-7” forecast… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 What’s odd is that winds odd Huron look westerly. And winds by Cleveland look westerly or even WNW, but maybe those are higher clouds?? Surprised we are getting such a solid SW flow to be honest. Lake Erie must be modifying these winds a bit. Still wouldn’t be surprised to things drop a little south over the next couple of hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
