Radar showed some slowing in the last hour or so, but now it looks like the band is edging slightly North with heavier returns filling in ready to roll through Hamburg again. 5 FEET is looking likely.

Jebman Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 OK, Buffalo is not getting demolished, HAMBURG is getting demolished. Wow 34 inches, in the first night! This may end up being WORSE than 2014! Wait just a minute! Hamburg has 47 inches ALREADY? Did I read that last post correctly? Four feet of snow. That would be fantastically EPIC shoveling! I wish I was up there right now! I'd show those folks how to shovel snow! NO ONE digs deep snow like the Jebman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Question for people in Hamburg area: Isnt that snowpack compacting? Even though Hamburg has received 47 inches, hasnt the pack compacted to merely three feet? Is this why where Timmer is at, the snow looks only three feet deep?

BuffaloWeather Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 KBUF missed the boat on this forecast. They trusted the RGEM and expected thermal troughing too much in the forecast. HRRR nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not there but typically compaction is pretty quick. Lake effect ratios can be over 20. Not as high this time though because the lake is very warm. Perhaps we dont see the dramatic compaction of like 25 to 1 ratios. Someone up there can give us the real dope on whats happening on the ground tho rn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 In all respect to Jeb walking, I have called this activity "Wethafella Walking. " At the time, Wethafella was a retired, or nearly retired guy from Boston who went out on fun walks during blizzard conditions in Boston, back in the days when I was relatively new to the forums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep the more snow falls the more it compacts. This also isn't the typical dry LES, its very wet. Snow depth is 35-40" in my backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing the perception of age of a 12 year old. I believe that guy ended up fired from his job and won a huge suit 10 or so years later vs his company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow depth is 35-40" in my backyard. CONGRATULATIONS are in order. Take a good look at that radar. You got a hell of a lot more snow on the way where that came from. Reed Timmer just took a snow reading in Hamburg, he reports 44 inches on the ground, he said they might get three more feet by the time the storm ends on Sunday, he said they might have 80 inches by that time. Absolutely MIND-BOGGLING stuff. Just unbelievable. I'd be digging snow for days and days and days.
