Buffalo Bumble Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 About 2" here in the last hour. Just got in from a long walk - perfect mid-winter conditions with a temp of 15 degrees, light SW wind, and huge dendrites pouring from the sky.

It looks like we may get more vodka cold the first week of February. The three coldest Februaries since 1965 have been: 1) February 1979 2) February 1967 3) February 1993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see Lake Erie still producing, even though it must be on the verge of freezing over! I honestly haven't been following your wx much for the past few weeks...in talking to my parents it doesn't seem that there's been anything particularly noteworthy. It's been funny seeing people here in MA try to deal with all the snow we've been having. The company I work at has already shut down for two full days, I've been sent home early once, and told to come in late once. If BUF operated like BOS, no work would ever get done in the winter months!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly picked a good year to be in MA - I've lost track of all the big storms that area has cashed in on this winter. I check in on the New England forum from time to time. Interesting bunch - haven't seen you jump in the ring over there. I'm sure you'll be an expert on New England snowstorms after this winter...

Buffalo Bumble Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If this 978 MB arctic gyre over Lake Superior as shown on the GFS for next weekend looks like it's going to verify I'll personally take a blowtorch to Lake Erie and melt the freaking ice.

DeltaT13 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Holy nowcasting! That super angry band of snow that simmered over ontario is on the move...even some redevelopment behind it with with the deepening cold air. What a nice little treat. Buffalo hastily, but rightfully is dropping advisories. Crazy hard forecasts and fun stuff these past few days. Looks like I'm staying up tonight. This radar is fantastic!

That looks fairly similar to the type of storm that produced the infamous "Blizzard of '77" in Western NY. Of course the lake isn't frozen yet and you don't have near the amount of powdery snow on the ground as there was leading up to that event....but from a synoptic standpoint, there are interesting similarities. Maybe you'll maintain enough open water in the week ahead to squeeze out one more significant SW flow event before the freeze-up is totally complete. On a different note, I noticed that my seasonal total here in Norwood is only 11-12" shy of the total at KBUF...and we could work on closing that gap even more by the middle of next week! Totally different type of winter though, since my 47" total includes an 18" storm (1/12) and a 14" storm (12/26). I actually don't know if I prefer the persistent, almost daily snowfall that defines the Western NY winter....or the large dumpings of cement followed by a week of sunshine like we get here. It's been interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I live about 10 miles south of Buffalo. And I am at 78 inches on the year. The Buffalo airport receives some of the lowest totals in WNY. With areas south and east receiving double, triple what KBuf receives. We received 36 inches of snow in 24 hour period here in Early December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be honest, if you include all of WNY, there are many regions with far less snow that the KBUF airport....but i know what you're saying.

Logan11 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I was out in Allegany County a week + ago and I can tell you that they have been running well below normal in snowfall ..maybe picked up a bit more last week, but synoptic drought overall. Same goes for Naples in southernmost Ontario County where I visited another relative. He hadn't needed his driveway plowed yet as of January 11th. He probably finally had to break down after that, but very slow start. I live about 10 miles south of Buffalo. And I am at 78 inches on the year.

ayuud Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 my seasonal total so far is about 64 inches almost all of em from lake ontario/huron bands and some clippers with lake enhancement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGorse Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 This would be a prime example of why LES watches and warning should take on the same format that Severe Thunderstorms have recently acquired. The Southern have of nearly all of these counties could likely see less than 2 inches from the entire event. It just seems that these highly mesoscale events should have more precise warning system...oh well. There were some discussions about this very topic. But since longer fused watches, warnings and advisories are county based, they continue to be issued this way. That may change at some point later, but not sure when (or if).

Logan11 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Half inch of extreme fluff here awaiting me this morning. I guess some remnants of the stuff in W and NW New York survived to here. The low was -8.5F late at night, but then the clouds came in and it rose to 0. Pretty surprised this morning waking up to a solid 4-6" of fluff over night and still snowing..

The tmeperature usually drops the most in the early hours of the morning though, so we'll see what I end up with. I think the airport may reach its forecast low of -32C which would be close to a record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
