Water level subsiding now. Back down to 10 ft and falling. Winds have definitley began to calm here

Mother in law with my other 2 kids at home in Derby just lost power. Said she’s never heard wind like this in her entire life and she’s 65 years old.

116” above low water datum and rising rapidly still. That’s nearly 10 feet and nearly 2 feet above floor stage.

Buffalo or Rochester ?

Winds with that stuff is super weak. 30mph or less.

Woah full sunshine here now.

Strongest gust so far ? Doesn’t look all that impressive from up top. Trees don’t look to even be swaying all that much.?

Just remember they’re getting the timing better with peak daytime heating and mixing when the fronts moving through, ours will be closer to sunset although they don’t have a huge funnel to the SW to enhance the winds either. I like your call of gust near 75 for BUF.

FULL sunshine in downtown Buffalo right now. I’m actually watching this from the 12th floor of Oshei children’s hospital as my daughter is sick and was admitted last night.

Does this also bode well for a little bit more mixing if we can get the front through here while we still have some daylight?

Dude winds are already sustained at 31 gusting to 45 at BUF , wth?? There’s already a constant low roar here in Derby and the front is 6-8 hours away. Have a gut feeling we’re going to be seeing some 70+ mph gust on the Niagara Frontier today.

NWS has wind gust to 64 Kt at Buffalo Saturday afternoon. That’s 73 mph. Yeesh!

High Wind Warning now, gust to 70 mph. Seems like the real deal.

Finished with 3.9” in Derby. 12.4” since yesterday afternoon. 18.8” on the season. What a wonderful surprise last 28 hours or so. Looks like mid winter (till Saturday haha).

Still snowing here. 3.6” here as well. 12.1” since yesterday afternoon.

Snowing 2-3” an hour. Awesomeness. Snowing harder then it did all last night.

Finished with an additional .8 “ here so storm total is 8.5” . Warning criteria when there was nothing posted at the start of the event.

It’s my total in Derby. I’m a trained spotter but they still have my old info from when I lived in West Seneca. Told them they posted the wrong info in the PIS. I knew someone was going to catch on to that haha!

Still snowing lightly. 7.7” . Maybe over 8” by morning ?

Still snowing light/moderate but band is moving north now and weakening rather quickly. 6.8” here, should end up close to 7”. What a nice surprise event with 2” hour rates at times, thunder, and absolutely beautiful flake size.

Dumping nearly 2” per hour here again. We’re gonna come close to warning criteria here.

Took multiple measurements. Average of 5.8” here and snow is beginning to pick up again after a half hour or so lull to light/moderate snow.
