BuffaloWeather Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Lake is about to explode with snow. I expect lake enhanced snow into tonight across all of Erie county. Rates will be somewhat low due to winds and the impact the winds have on flake production. It won't really matter much with those windspeeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 The idea of "too cold for lake effect" is a bit of an urban legend, the lakes warm the frigid air to the extent that it can hold enough moisture to remain very capable of maxing out. Without Lake Erie there BUF would probably drop to 12F but the lake will release enough heat into the squall band to maintain a reading of 18-22F (at a guess). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedskater Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I'm 5 miles west of downtown Cleveland and 500 feet from Lake Erie. (next to Lakewood Park) Our small lot has no open spaces, so lots of drifting, but I would guess (from inside) less than 3 inches. Wednesday afternoon in the park they were pouring concrete for the new swimming pool. Now it's -1°F, I'll bet that concrete is getting cold.

Winds are primiarily out of the SW/W and likely not to change until Monday. So I'd expect totals down there to be manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
