CAPE Posted Saturday at 02:42 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:42 AM I could see how frustrating lake effect can be, from both a forecasting and weather weenie perspective. Imagine being just a bit on the wrong side of a death band, but it lasting for 12+ hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would drive me mad as a chaser… drive up 6 hours, get a hotel, only to be off by 5 miles and 50 inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to Syracuse this was pretty common with heavy snow over the airport on the north side of the city but nothing over campus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted Saturday at 03:05 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:05 AM Watertown Live stream. They were supposed to have 18"+ otg by now per the forecasts this morning. Maybe later tonight into tomorrow the band will shift north. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best snow was when we get a shift in wind to the NW and the healthy bands would swing south from Oswego county producing 4in/hr snow squalls that would come through w occasional thundersnow (had it 3 times on campus and twice chasing during my 4 years) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted Saturday at 06:33 AM Share Posted Saturday at 06:33 AM Taken just outside Erie PA today while visiting a college buddy of mine. 3-4” per hour at the peak. I forgot how insane LES is from my college days in buffalo. Magical. Snowpack is certainly going to be building to our north over the next 1-2 weeks 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's wild how it has to be 10-15 degrees below freezing outside the beltway for DC to get 1 degree below freezing. 26 here in AA County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the band has been persistent to the south of there. The forecast was dramatically adjusted yesterday afternoon. I read some of the AFD and apparently with these LES events the hi-res short range models have a south bias so they tend to lean towards the globals when forecasting the exact location of the bands. I guess that didn't quite work out in this case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A different timeline and I can take some vacation days I never got to use and chase the lake effect snow event about to be underway in western NY. Five feet give or take on the docket for the Watertown, NY area. One of these years, will finally be free to go and try and see one of these events, fingers crossed. Do I blame myself for Watertown’s snow bust because I mused about wishing I was there? yes, yes I do. It’s my superpower and it is just the worst.
