BuffaloWeather Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Just got done driving through streets of North Buffalo and I almost got stuck. I've never gotten stuck in any of my chases. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hmm, hope this happens! With 1000-850mb mean flow oriented out of the northwest slowly becoming west northwest the Winter Weather Advisory for Lake Effect snow should play out nicely. HREF 1 hour mean snowfall over the eastern Finger Lakes suggests that inch an hour rates should be possible generally along and north of the NY Thruway through around 11pm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parking change night in SB making it even worse. Took some video on the ride home I’ll see what came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in DeWitt playing indoor golf. Now at Tullys in North Syracuse, or whatever town this is at Drivers Village. Slow going out there. Roads not horrible other than local where the doofuses have dumped salt and turned road into a slippery sludge. Cuz muh, safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see backside snows (good job RGEM). I’d say 3” new since 4pm. 7-8” Storm total so far. Cleared off the car earlier very little sleet, but definitely a period of freezing rain overnight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought people were joking about it but it's real. Every year it seems someone gets bowled over. Models performed well with this storm. I'm looking for someone to blame for the Syracuse atrocity. I can think of only one reason why the snowbelts of South Carolina outperformed KSYR....the Curse of the New Bambino... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96blizz Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Tremendous drifting happening. No way to measure but solid event! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 This was a very nice storm, and had some pretty impressive moments. The density of this dry snow is really incredible. My finally tally is floating around 13 inches right now but the piles I’ve made are huge. This stuff does not compact at all! It’s been a wild 24 hours and I need sleep badly. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucked out as it was a family vacation from Christmas that was rescheduled due to child illness (and then lack of snow). With the kids off for MLK day it gave us the window for a reschedule and last week’s lake effect + this storm resulted in a great winter escape. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall a bunch of us venting about it on this board, at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated many times today I don’t think I’ve had a snowpack this deep and this dense…probably because most of our bigger accumulation are from lake effect and it’s more “airy”. This stuff is going nowhere for some time to come. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Just got home. A solid 4-5" fresh down. Things way worse than the WSW from last night. Locally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff is going nowhere for some time to come. The first half was very fluffy, the last half was pure sleet/snow mix here. Will be interesting to see 2 day QPF totals, we will likely see many areas above 2". 2" of LES would have 30-40" totals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 About a foot here. was hoping for a bit more. Not a notable storm localy in roc area but a nice old fashioned one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 It's been pouring snow here for the past two hours. 1 to 2 inch per hour rates. Making up for last night quickly. This is the "Winter Storm Warning" event. Between 8 and 9 inches for this event since last night. Hoping to make it to those double digits! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
