All cars are the same to me, point a to point b. I have zero interest in ever getting a Lambo. A bunch of my friends are really into cars, just doesn't do it for me. Wouldn’t you like a nice big 4x4 SUV for all your trips in the weather? I love my 4Runner. So capable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 It's quite dark and dreary with low clouds today. I thought for sure that it was about to rain, but it doesn't look like much on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 High Res, a few have a band setting up across North Buffalo on NW flow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Binghamton Another shortwave and cold front moves in from the northwest Saturday night into early Sunday morning. This will bring rain/snow showers Saturday evening, changing to all snow showers by late Saturday night/early Sunday morning. Lake effect snow showers will follow this shortwave with a northwesterly flow and 850mb temperatures falling from around -10C Sunday morning to around -20C Monday morning. These lake effect snow showers may start with an organized multi-banded structure, but as is typical for this time of the year with the strong late March sun angle, these snow showers may turn more cellular/convective in nature by Sunday afternoon, therefore limiting the potential for a prolonged period of lake effect snow in any one particular location. Instead, snow showers will likely be frequent, but brief by midday Sunday, with brief periods of sun possible in between. With the cold airmass moving in, highs on Sunday will only be in the 30s to near 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Buffalo Saturday night and Sunday the axis of the mid level trough moves to the east coast, with a surface low consolidating over eastern Quebec and the Canadian Maritimes. Deep wrap around moisture will rotate into the eastern Great Lakes Saturday night through Sunday, while unseasonably cold air pours into the Great Lakes. The synoptic scale forcing and moisture will support periods of light snow and snow showers Saturday night and Sunday. Meanwhile, favorable WNW flow in the boundary layer will support upslope enhancement across the higher terrain east/southeast of Lake Erie and across the Tug Hill Plateau. The airmass will grow plenty cold enough for lake enhancement as well, with lake induced equilibrium levels rising to over 5K feet by Sunday. The combination of lake enhancement and upslope flow will support more persistent and somewhat heavier snow across the higher terrain east of the lakes. This would peak Saturday night east of Lake Erie, and late Saturday night and Sunday east of Lake Ontario. Sunday night the deeper moisture and better synoptic scale support will move into New England, but northwest flow of very cold air, with 850MB temps dropping to around -20C, will support ongoing areas of lake effect snow showers southeast of the lakes. As far as accumulations go, the heaviest snow will focus from the Chautauqua Ridge to the Boston Hills and ridges of Wyoming County east of Lake Erie, and across the Tug Hill Plateau east of Lake Ontario. Totals may reach 6-10" over 48 hours in these areas. Elsewhere expect a few inches of accumulation. The snow will add up over time across the higher terrain, but chances of legitimate watch/warning criteria snow (7" in 12 hours or 9" in 24 hours) is low but non-zero.

winter_rules Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 7 hours ago, CNY_WX said: Hondas last forever. I had 2 Civics, one got creamed by a truck with 117K and still had the original brakes. The other had 183K and could have reached 250K. My daily driver is a 2010 Civic with 139,000 miles. I like the car, love the gas mileage, but have been disappointed with maintenance/repair needs. I have had it for 3.5yrs since 60k miles. I previously had 2 beater Ford Focuses, a beater Chevy Impala, a beater Chevy Malibu and then FINALLY splurged for a Civic….and then have been disappointed with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Sunday night the deeper moisture and better synoptic scale support will move into New England, but northwest flow of very cold air, with 850MB temps dropping to around -20C (which would be as cold as has been observed this late in the season per SPC sounding climatology), will support ongoing areas of lake effect snow showers southeast of the lakes. Since all lake convective layer will be in the DGZ, the snow showers could be quite efficient with SLRs topping 20:1. Gusty northwest winds will lead to blowing and drifting snow so have added this into the forecast closer to the lakes. Snow showers wane on Monday with diurnal disruption, but could flare up again on Monday night near the lakes as another weaker wave moves through with increased moisture above H85 and still more than sufficient over-water instability. As far as accumulations go, the heaviest snow is still expected from the Chautauqua Ridge to the Boston Hills and ridges of Wyoming County east of Lake Erie, and across the Tug Hill Plateau east of Lake Ontario. Totals may reach 8-12" over 48 hours in these areas. Elsewhere expect a few inches of accumulation. Went back and forth about issuing a watch, but in the end settled on the idea that this will be long drawn out advisory event. Isolated warning amounts certainly could occur, but most of the higher terrain areas alluded are expected to remain less than the 7"/12hr or 9"/24hr threshold. Bulk of heaviest accumulating snow will also be occurring during the overnight hours on the weekend, lessening the impact. Will let later shifts set up headlines as needed since most of snow from this evening will not occur until Saturday night onward.

Flying MXZ Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 7 hours ago, CNY_WX said: They are so much nicer now. My Civics were a 2002 and a 2007 and were pretty basic cars. I was driving 36,000 miles a year while I was working and wanted an inexpensive, reliable, good gas mileage car and the Civic checked all those boxes. 2017 Civic here. 0 option car I bought new. Been great except rotors rusting, and a/c compressor issues-but that one was warrantied. And I have a truck for the real wintry days. Hope the snow avoids here. Although the roads were salted the other day for the freezing rain threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I don’t hope the snow avoids here. Just for the record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeyes_Suck Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I’m good with snow keeping mud off dogs paws. Would be better if it was an epic nor’easter though. Since we’re talking cars I’m a car guy and motorcycle enthusiast through and through. Willing to bore anyone for hours who’s willing to listen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 After my 2 Civics I thought I’d try something different so I bought a 2012 Chevy Cruze with a 6 speed manual. It wasn’t quite as reliable as my Civics but it was a nice little cruiser on the thruway from Brewerton to Utica. Last year it was 9 years old with almost 150K miles on it so I decided it was time for a new one. Since retiring I’m only putting about 7K on a year so I decided to splurge and lease a nicer vehicle. I leased a 2021 Mazda CX-5 GTR which I love so far. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 The Hyundai Santa Fe I owned for 12 years was amazing in the snow. I absolutely loved that car. My Nissan Altima isn't nearly as good in the snow, but that little thing goes around turns like a pro and has great acceleration. It's very easy to accidentally speed in that vehicle. Plus, it can get 37 miles per gallon...filling the tank up once can give over 600 miles on one tank! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochester isn’t getting more than an inch or two on the grass at best. The bands tomorrow will be ridiculously cellular and the snow will struggle mightily to accumulate. I am however eyeing cattaraugus county though. Can holiday valley salvage a decent day with a little elevation? They are right on the cusp according to the point and click. I’d make one last run if I knew they could get 6. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
