Tornado Girl Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I had a -3 for tonight here. It will be tricky tonight as inc. clouds will probably wreak havoc with mins. They may fll 'til about 2am Sat then steady off or possibly even rise a couple/few degrees. Hey can I use that term on TV! LOL... Sure...it's yours if you want it.

Buffalo Bumble Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 3-4" here for the day so far - tough to measure with a lot of blowing snow. Nice little system - good sustained period of moderate snow and low visibility. Should be interesting to watch the WSYR radar tonight through tomorrow for that snowband off L Ontario.

swva Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 6.5" since 9am but only 1.5" in the past 6 hours. I thought I could be too far north for the good LES, but sitting right on the southern side of the band. So looks like for now I am too far south. I hope it drifts about 5 miles or so further south and sits for awhile. My experience in the past few years has been that when it starts drifting south it does not stop.

LEK - Congrats on the Steelers win. Wasn't looking good there for awhile but big 2nd half! Yeah, I think my pulse reached an all time high while just sitting on the couch!! My voice is shot, but luckily, I don't need my voice to shovel snow! Intermittently heavy here ATT. Meso models again are not doing so well. Picked up about 5" overnight. Not sure how this transpires....we are kind of on the cusp of single vs. multiple bands....looks to be a bit of shear, per satelites/radar....probably should load up bufkit to see how the atmosphere is behaving relative to models' data.....Glad everyone to the north got to see some decent snows. We all need a couple big systems up the coast from the GOM to liven up this region....CV runner or something where we get a nice slow moving bomb up the coastal plain to lock in cold air. Haven't had one of those in a good long time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
