BuffaloWeather Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 I've been reading Buffalo Forecast discussions for over 20 years and have never seen one like the one issued this morning. Paralyzing lake effect, climatologically off the charts, bombogenesis, once in generation type event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 This thing is over me here and we are seeing three times the model predicted snowfall (easily a foot and maybe more, we had a forecast of 3-6 inches). Some model runs have had a sub-960 mb low over central ON and the trajectory looks perfect for another mega-squall event around BUF and wNY. On current guidance I would think 60-90 inches quite possible 24th-26th with extreme winds (although squall bands tend to do odd things with winds inside the heavy snow zones). Similar to mid-November, your seasonals are going to go through the roof. Is Buffalo scheduled to be playing at home during any of this? There were events something similar to this in Nov 1970 and Jan 1971, that was quite a snow belt winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 ...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING... * WHAT...A rapid switch from rain to snow with sharply falling temperatures into the teens will result in a flash freeze on Friday. From Friday afternoon through most of the weekend, very strong winds, heavy lake effect snow and significant blowing and drifting snow will be possible. Winds could gust as high as 65 mph Friday into Friday night. Localized blizzard conditions are possible. * WHERE...Niagara, Orleans, Erie, Genesee, Wyoming, Chautauqua, and Cattaraugus counties. * WHEN...From Friday morning through Monday morning. * IMPACTS...Travel for the holiday weekend, including Friday, could be very difficult to impossible at times. Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility with whiteouts and localized blizzard conditions possible. The most persistent and worst conditions will be where lake effect snow is most widespread, which is still uncertain at this time. Winds this strong could cause tree damage and power outages. Cold wind chills as low as 10 to 20 below zero this weekend could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
