Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 13 hours ago, mississaugasnow said: Just wondering how much you got and how much you guys have on the ground now? I didn't actually lose much of my snowpack. I'd say I have about a foot of snow on the ground. Snowbanks are so high that it's hard to see when backing out of the driveway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Looks like a foot in walworth. Was hoping for more. Looks like areas near Lake did get more. Reports are spotty but seeing 11to 13 inch from Greece to Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Kuchera as the ratios are certainly above 10:1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderate snow in Boston and best flake size of the whole event now. Not gonna accumulate much with the rate but enough to keep things freshly coated.

It was really windy all night with lots of drifting with this rice-pack. I'd venture to say it's got to be 12ish for sure. Looks like more, but the drifting is deceiving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 9.4 here, 14 otg. Hoping that 3rd wave brings additional 1-2. temp 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revracer800 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 A guesstimate <------ new word lol, of maybe 6-8" here in Hannibal. Each shovel full feels like lifting a house, damn it's heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 it was pure powder up here, granted I'm much colder up here. It was dense, but powder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 A glaze to .1" of frz rain, followed by at least 2" of pure sleet has made up the majority of this forgettable mess. Roads are still bad.

BuffaloWeather Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Highest totals were Lockport and perrysburg with 16.8” and 16.5”. Highest in Erie was 13.6” https://kamala.cod.edu/ny/latest.nous41.KBUF.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowLover22 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 lol wtf, geneva got way more than 6.8 inches. What are they smoking? Maybe they didn't snowboard correctly/account for compaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 this last wave under some decent returns looks like lake effect stuff. Big dendrites coming down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 3rd wave looks weakish, maybe an inch. No idea if any meaningful LES will arise later to "Top off the tank" so to speak. Always possible here.

rochesterdave Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 So just around 10-12” in Rochester. A little less than I thought but a decent hit. Good forecast by NWS as usual. NAM 3k 10:1 has been pretty good IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per usual, heaviest snows skipped over us with Western NY and then Oneida County and up through the ADKs getting more. Some day I will learn to accept the model showing the LEAST amount of snowfall during synoptic snowfall as closest to fact. The winds weren't even from the NE, so I don't think it would be downsloping from the Tug. My observation was it was quite windy, which often seems to happen as well...and shredded/sheared snowflakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, was just looking at that. From SYR, Oswego area to ROC and BUF looks like 7-11" fell. A little on the lower end of models in general but not far off. BGM to ALB never got into the 5"+ realm that GFS was putting out. Overall models did well. The areas in CNY that did best were a bit south of here and had some elevation, again, as was generally depicted in models. The iffy dendrite size was what I was concerned about and it was a factor here, along with less qpf than modeled (SYZ was generally 1.1-1.4" and we got about about 0.82" IMBY including the rain up front). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see a couple more to make it close to an even foot. Great storm and fun as heck to track with everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My observation was it was quite windy, which often seems to happen as well...and shredded/sheared snowflakes. Could be but i dont think wind was all that high. That was more of a concern for the recent Nor'easter in SNE with winds ripping. I think the real issue was qpf a touch overmodeled and UVV wasn't impressive...which isn't surprising as this was an overruning or anafrontal system. There wasn't a strong slp or ULL and dynamics were comparatively weak. Hence, snow growth was not impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 A general 8-16" across WNY. A solid hit across the area with it being mainly 1:10 ratios. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
