Nice, at least for this run lol

Yikes maybe I spoke too soon about Vermont. Gonna be a close call for there man, especially in central Vermont. The next 48 hours should give us some more clarity.

The 12z Canadian is a decent hit for both Upstate and Vermont.  Would love to lock that in!   

If I was you as of this early juncture I’d be headed to Vermont for this one, looks like a super safe bet unless your in far southern VT. Should be more wind and whiteouts there as well with the low rapidly deepening as it moves north closer to you. 

Winds are cranking here now. Starting to see some down branches and light at southwestern and mile strip is off and hanging by the wire. 

When are winds gonna pick up? I know the worst is supposed to be from 12-4 but it’s 9am and I don’t think I’m gusting higher than 25 mph right now.

These anomalous spring wind events are interesting.  I assume it’s the juxtaposition between the ice cold lakes and the dark leafless land which creates a huge horizontal temperature delta that must drive large powerful turbulent circulations. Add in some of large snow fields in the higher elevations and dense wooded areas creating additional localized circulations and it should be and interesting day… as long as we get adequate solar heating. 

Clear blue skies and full sunshine here . Could be interesting in a few hours .

Would love to be on Mt Washington as that thing goes by. 

No you wouldn’t. You’d be blown into western Maine lmao.

My guess is 110” might be the mark you’re shooting for…

Yes 110” is about average here so I’m definitely hoping for that but time is starting to run out to get another 15” this season. What’s your seasonal total at? 

Finished with 2.3” here. Not bad. Getting ever so close to the 100” mark at 95.3” on the season. 

1.9” as of 10:30. Snow still coming down nicely. 

Dumping. Haven’t measured but grass is covered.

I guess it’s down to me and Wolfie hoping on winter. 

I’m all for anything over 6”+ at this time of the year. Anything less than that is just an annoyance that melts within a day anyways.

Lake Erie looks to be getting its act together again.

Should get even better organized as we lose the suns heating effects. Not sure it gets as strong as this mornings but we’ll see. I love when we get these events that no one forecasts and it’s just a complete guess to wether we see flurries or 3”/hr rates. 

1.4” since 11:30. Up to 3.1” since 8:30am. 93” exactly on the season. 

Probably worst whiteout of the year here. Snowing probably 2”+ an hour but winds are insane literally can’t see across the street. 

After running around all morning came home to 1.7” new snow in the driveway since I left around 830 am. Band is strengthening and looks to be headed back south a bit right towards my place. Now over 90” on the year.

That band is getting it’s act together. Did no model have it? Must be a reason buf is forecasting those amounts? 

Nope and I think all the models are overdoing the ice coverage on Lake Erie. What ice there is isn’t even solid and can still transport moisture through it. I had a job yesterday in Angola right on the lake in a 3 story house on top of a dune and could see out into the lake pretty far when it wasn’t snowing and there’s tons of open water as far as I could see past the first mile or so out which was ice but could still see slush and open pockets of water in that.

Same 1” tops. This system never got its act together. Exit stage left.

Yep just went out and measured 0.8” and currently have light freezing drizzle falling at 20 degrees. 

Looks like freezing rain here right now. 21 degrees. Freezing rain even up in Niagara County. Radar returns are weak as heck. Just eyeballing out the window looks like between 1-2 inches of snow/sleet. Weak sauce. 
 

congrats to those getting pounded!

Euro has been straight trash this year. What a fall from just a few years ago when it was the King.

Yet another system where Syracuse gets the shaft? I hope that for once it doesn't happen. 

Dude just sit back relax and enjoy the show! Anything’s better than nothing. I think your a lock for 6”  and think your in a much better spot then BuffaloWeather and I. 

I’d take a 6” snowfall here and run. Nervous as hell about the mix line but we are pretty far west so idk what to think.

Rgem pretty much solid for all..

Looks like a widespread 5-10” high end advisory low end warning event for all of Upstate. Get to the HV and looks like almost a lock for a Warning event of 8-12”

Just now, TugHillMatt said:

I had a great video at one point and then I ended up farting loudly at 45 seconds in...was like, "Welp, guess I can't post that one on Facebook..." Good thing I took like 10 others.

Could’ve just said it was “thunder snow” 

I hope SouthBuffaloSteve is in his spot at the waterfront already. This “pre” front lake effect/enhanced snow right now with these wind gust is insane. I bet right at the waterfront has to be absolutely nuts right now and this isn’t even the front !
