TugHillMatt Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Did anybody see any reports for freezing rain in the Southern Tier? I checked but couldn't find any. It seems like this was more of a thump of sleet for many and then it either transitioned to rain (in PA) or snow (in NY). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was below freezing so all/most this precip is sleet/fza. Obviously quite a bit more fell after these reports 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely got a glaze here (few hundredths). The top of the snow/sleet mix had a nice crusty topping to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 This was pretty close to a bust for a majority of the region. Not our best…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Spotter reported a little over 5" at 1ish, we have had light snow since, maybe another 1/2"-1" of fluff.. New map which includes the rest of this event+the front..Still some disagreement amongst models on wether the line will stay intact... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting research to break down our snow totals in Upstate NY this winter into how much was sleet vs. snow. I should have kept track for here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Congrats, Rochester guys. My guess is you did slightly better than the Syracuse area. Probably 5 to 7 inches across Onondaga County. Local Mets did well with being cautious. I doubt anyone got near the top of the forecast range, as the system was moving extremely fast...and there was the dry slot and/or mixing for some. Perhaps in March we can get a powerful coastal storm if the pattern allows. I think we have a better chance this year than some recent past seasons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a big bust everywhere west of you. All models did poorly on this one, especially over the Great Lakes. Way too much moisture, hundreds of miles off on the northern extent of snow, sleet line was well north, dry slot was off... Buffalo got screwed on this one, which is why you're not seeing the usual posters here lol. 2" here in Amherst, south of here where most posters are got less than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Awesome day in the ADKs today in the Lake Placid/Keene area. 12-16” of fluff fell, highest amounts obviously the higher you went in elevation. About 14” at my location above Keene. Did a bit of hiking along the Ausable River in Wilmington, lots of driving around backroads between Jay and Lake Placid. Super fun plowing through the powder with snow pouring down. Didn’t look like a great event here until about 11am when cloud deck lowered, flake size exploded, and we averaged a couple inches an hour for several hours. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Ice blocks along the Ausable River are amazing. Some are over 6 feet tall and plowed over trees along their journey. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Getting some bonus stuff now. About an inch in the last hour. We always get rescued on the backside with these NW winds. Love it.

rochesterdave Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 My snowboard, which was wiped clean, has just over 7” for the event. If I’d kept up with it I suspect I’d be at 8 or 9. Lucky again. What a winter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, these last 2 months have just been awesome up here on the lake shore. Old fashioned winter! Maybe 2-3 days without FULL snow cover. We have these monolithic glaciers in peoples yards. These wavy glazed drifts that you can walk on. Things definitely turned following that horrible December. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakeEffectKing Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Nice ending here too..7.5" total. 5" overnight. 2.5" during the day...still mood flakes falling....kinda what I was expecting around here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of my favorite places to visit, and I'm blessed it's such a short drive from home. About 8" total at home here. We still have a long way to go to salvage the season here in ENY, but this was nice. Gusty winds this evening, with blowing and drifting snow. The night has a nice, deep winter feel to it tonight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 Pretty good bands across areas north of Buffalo. Think we had around 2" total today here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Maybe 6" here total? Looks like we got another 1-2" after I measured 4.5" this a.m. Def feels like a bust but not a Yuge one. SN- the past few hrs. Basically flurries. This was our last great hope perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortmax Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 My town got called out on the AFD...famous! Lol Inversions are low at less than 4kft, but sharper sfc convergence between Oswego and Monroe county has supported concentrated snow showers for areas southeast of Lake Ontario, centered on Wayne county, where local accums of 1-3 inches may accumulate through the night. NYS Mesonet site in Ontario (northwest Wayne county) and the KSDC METAR site in Wayne County along with the BUF radar lower few angles suggest a stronger convergence band in that vcnty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. That was ugly. 9” in Irondequoit. Just kissed warning amounts. I’m betting there’ll be a lot less in Pittsford when I head down later today.

CNY_WX Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Off and on snow showers overnight produced 1.8 inches of fluff. Adding that to the 1.0 inch during the day adds up to 2.8 inches. Add to that the 4.7 inches yesterday morning gives 7.5 for the entire storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
