ayuud11 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Every refresh of the radar is looking more and more incredible. Just wow...already. If this is only the beginning I could only imagine what it will look like when this band gets going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Scratch that... Snowing 2+ inches per hour with 30+ mph winds. I made it 1/2 mile and turned around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Nice looking band off of Lake Erie right now. Looks like some slightly enhanced KDP near echo top over the lake. Collocated with ZDR around 0 dB indicating a significant presence of aggregates, possibly from the collection of dendrites. This coincides with the higher reflectivity between 30-35 dBz in the center of the band. Also a hint of some pristine ice crystals (dendrites or plates) on the edge of the band with the highest ZDR values. You can definitely see some convergence in the radial velocity in the center of the band with perhaps a few weak small-scale circulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just light snow here as band has went south of here, but looking at last few radar images it looks to make a return trip rather soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaser915 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I am listening to the online scanner and the state police on the Thruway from Exit 46 on west. I am not sure exactly of the location for any of the units, but neither are they. They are estimating what mile markers they are at when asked by dispatch. One trooper just said he can't see anything. And cars are stopping, regardless of where they are. Must be something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaser915 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Good for you sir. Glad to see someone getting some early snow. Enjoy!!! Keep us posted too. I love following along with other peoples' storms nearly as much as if I was getting the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you are in a great spot. I just heard authorities say that the Thruway between Lackawanna + Hamburg is a white out and cars have just stopped in the lanes. Tow trucks and emergency vehicles have to try to get past them on the shoulders. Now a patrol just said they really need to strongly consider closing the Thruway from Exit 54 and points west.
