CNY_WX Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 It looks like the band is moving north of the airport. If it falls off the north shore of the lake will that weaken it? That’s usually the case when a band falls off the south shore of Lake Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it will weaken but will gain strength later this afternoon as it goes south can see the wind direction change looking nw. Going to be several hours before it comes back down though.

Leelee Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Finally getting into this now in Getzville. As usual, for bands to get this far north, it requires a passing shortwave or quickly moving at the start/end of an event. It won't last long, but better than nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Glad to see some of you finally getting some LES, been a tough winter already. I picked up about 7" imby, Areas further south and along the shore have seen close to 20" so far. Bad time for NWS APX to lose the radar for Maintenance. Really sucks not being able to track the bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sucks not being able to track the bands. Areas that rely on a northerly component for the wind have not done well the past several years. We just can't get that COLD air coming from the north.

BuffaloWeather Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 The band should start realigning over northern Erie county next few hours. Can see subtle change over long point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
