  1. Yup. Getting darker here with rates picking back up. Know it won’t amount to anything but still interesting to see. A less wet snow coming down now, lots of pellets mixing in with drier flakes. Been watching Huron this morning with some good action, had a freight train of meso vorts spinning around a little while ago. Morning snow pack really took a beating but still holding on!
  2. Looks like some good snow in Rochester area. Is the ball park downtown?
  3. Up to 4.5” here at 1030. Had an hour of huge puff bombs but didn’t really add up to much. Lilacs are really starting to droop.
  4. Banding over the lake picking up some intensity as it drags eastward. Looks like we will keep snowing most of morning.
  5. 3-3.5” here. Still a light more grainy snow now. Probably for the best as looks like the right amount of snow to make everything look nice without any damage. Checking the radar from overnight looks like after the initial banding that pushed through after 1am the precip field really didn’t fill back in that great for a while and stayed more north and west of the city.
  6. Starting to accumulate on pavement here. At least an inch down on elevated surfaces already.
  7. Buffalo Metro is right in thay banding. Looks like we got our sharp cutoff line set on this view. What I’m seeing 6” ain’t out of the question tonight...
  8. A bit west... but some decent accumulations! “Tree are showing stress” This is near London, ON.
  9. Radar really lighting up south of here. Starting to see banding forming all over.
  10. I’m heading out right at first light tomorrow. Gonna be some crazy sights! Vibrant colorful flowering bushes and trees plastered in white.
  11. June 11/12 1816. Snow was observed across the finger lakes and higher elevations of northern PA.
  12. Pretty sure when hail is observed it goes in as a Trace of frozen precip regardless of size, amount, duration.
  13. Going to be a lot to digest in the next hour... lol... one thing we also need to factor is in the lakes. Erie’s up to 43, Ontario 44. Based on where the surface flow is coming from could see a warm layer ooze on shore and wreck some p type havoc. That immediate downtown area through SB right down 62 into Hamburg could have some added obstacles to overcome.
  14. That mix line... wow... reminds me of the Christmas Eve/Day storm here how the NAM just ran. No wiggle room on that one...
  15. $5 the models all shit out on this upcoming run and muff this thing out to left field? Any takers?
  16. If this plays out with 4”+ going to be a lot of agricultural impacts. Found this map on the “Spring Leaf Bloom Anomaly”. Not only is this a very late season storm, the WNY area is running 2 to almost 3 weeks early on spring blooming.
  17. Had to consult “The Book”... 1901 - April 20 - 9.7” in Buffalo with over a foot south and east of the city. The Pan American expo was slated to start on May 1 and was pushed back 3 weeks due to the damage caused. 1859 - April 23 - 18” was measured downtown during the William Ives record keeping time frame.
  18. I think the watch window is over at this point. Even the high end 6-8” would still kinda fall into an advisory. Add in the uncertainty and the busted watch and warnings from the storm 3 weeks ago I’m thinking we have advisories up tomorrow morning for all WNY... maybe warnings for So Erie and Catt County.
  19. To lazy to look now... wonder what our snowiest April day is?
  20. I dunno... most models are showing the snow start/transition occurring between 12am-4am. If we get a solid coating down before sunrise could be interesting. Heaviest precip bands look to push through between 6am-12pm so if rates are high enough cooling could overcome it. All depends just how strong the banding ends up being...Skeptical but optimistic... honestly would take the pass on this storm and keep the spring vibes going...
