rochesterdave Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 About 2” at Brantingham. Snow ridge is reporting 4” at 7 am. That snow minima over Lewis county was for real… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny rider Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I like the way this is coming together. I anticipate being under the band of the unliving for a few hours later this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I just cleared off my wife's car (she has to work today...tax firm) and there was about 5 inches on it already. Ironically, it was one of the the fluffiest and easiest cleans of the winter. In March. Only a very tiny sliver on the bottom seemed wetter. The transition from wet snow to REAL snow must have happened quite quickly with the front. Beautiful out there! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the only time that more is not always better. Skiing in more than 6” gets tough. Gets pushed into enormous moguls that are tough to navigate. My favorite is the day after a snow, once they’ve groomed it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I liked it when doing cross country skiing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how you always get a couple inches more than me even though you’re only 15 miles west of me? I just measured 3.2 inches here and snowing lightly. The back edge is rapidly approaching from the west. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The models did show western Onondaga getting a couple more inches than Northeastern Onondaga. I disregarded it as them being dumb, but maybe there was some merit to that? I think you guys up there get skunked by downsloping since you're closer to the Tug. I also have noticed you seem to record less in Synoptic events.

rochesterdave Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 It’s a microclimate event. Snow ridge is at 5” and here in the valley near Lowville it appears as if they’ve barely had more than 1”. Eeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My poor brother is headed through there soon on his trip from Philly to Brantingham.

TugHillMatt Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Just now, CNY_WX said: Nice. I’m not questioning your measurement only wondering out loud if I’m in some kind of snow hole. When it comes to synoptic events, I think my area, being closer to the higher elevations to the south helps. The Baldwinsville/Van Buren area has some 550 to 700 foot hills. I notice my location, at 570 feet, can do better than the village. I often have more.. The farther south you go in Western Onondaga, the better it can be during Synoptic events. I get more than you and Syrmax, but our friend just north of Skaneateles does better than me. Western Onondaga county is pretty hilly, and it wouldn't surprise me that there is some orographic influence. Your area is very flat, and like I said, perhaps gets lots of downsloping from the Tug. I also think my location farther to the west helps me to get additional enhancement off the lake. It has been moderate to heavy snowfall all morning. Really coming down right now. Hoping for some back building of precipitation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revracer800 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Snow has ended here, 3-4" of heavy snow, very heavy. Wind is blowing pretty good now also. Roads are clear already. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Finished at 6.2” in Derby. Puts me at 101.5” on the season. Nice little event for sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 We did have a forecast of up to 10" here about a day or so ago. Sitting on maybe 4"...and the snow has lightened up. Maybe the "backside" lake enhanced snow will inch us closer but right now....kind of feels like a bust, here. Although model trends showed this.

He has jackpotted in like every event this year. I actually haven't jack potted once this year in WNY. The big synoptic storm featured highest totals north of me, same with the big LES event. The other 2-3 LES/enhanced events had highest totals south of here. The last 2 events the jackpots were pretty close. I think we jack potted last night though, based on radar. In comparison to central NY, western NY has jack potted quite a bit this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
