Heisy Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I've been on over 10 chases and last night was the first mistake I ever made. I couldn't leave Saturday night so I had to leave yesterday morning (from Philly to Erie). With all the errands I made in the AM I didn't leave until roughly 10-11. Instead of taking the NE extension then west I jumped right on the turnpike not even thinking what could happen. Made it a little past Harrisburg when it started to snow. We drove hours in blinding heavy snow before giving up right around NE of Pitt. I was so drained and exhausted from tracking and driving I couldn't take it anymore. We had about 100 miles to Erie at 15-30 mph at 9pm so enough was enough. Any reports up there? Before I went to bed it did seem west and east of Erie was getting hammered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 3ish inches of white vomit. Sleet, downsloping, and oh, the temperature popped above freezing at the SYR airport.

wolfie09 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 We are back to snow here this morning, light but steady, had around 2"-3" of shaved ice last night.. Highest report I found in N Oswego is 4" lol NWS has another 4"-8" throughout the day and most SR guidance has 4"-6"+ on the backside, we'll see how that turns out..

BuffaloWeather Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 BREAKING: City of Buffalo has issued a travel advisory due to the heavy snow fall. If you don't need to travel at this time- please don't. DPW crews are plowing mains & secondary roads. Those roads are snow covered but passable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericjcrash Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 All done here, I'd call it 9" for storm total as we've compacted some. Heaviest powdery snow I've ever seen. January shaping up to have quite a big negative departure area wide, no? Frequent subzero nights on the horizon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winds last night with sleet against the windows was something I have never experienced before Maybe 2ish inches here last night Matt, do you think Onondaga cashes in with at least 2-4 later today and tonight with LES?

I've experienced that sleetstorm vibe with pelted windows several times. I am truly flummoxed, as I don't know what type of setup we need these days to actually get a legit synoptic snowstorm here. Yes, I believe we will get several additional inches of snow (thanks, again and of course, to Lake Ontario). We "should" see some enhancement this PM and then transition to some lake effect tonight. I may be in a better spot in NW Onondaga, being closer to the flow off the lake. FINALLY transitioned back to some snow (light) here as of around 10 am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 So, 1 inch (per @Revracer800) in Hannibal, but 8 to 10 inches in Oswego? Wow, quite the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to save it but there was a large blip of at least a half dozen strikes around 3-4am just west of Buffalo and into Southern Ontario.

TugHillMatt Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The echoes have JUST shifted from moving south to north (anything from that direction is hell for Syracuse, it seems) and started moving slightly from the North and West. Immediately after that happened, we now have winter again with the best snowfall of this event so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Snow picking up nicely in Altmar. I always expected the backside/lake effect snows to be the main show up this way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
