Was just insane for a solid 5-10 minutes that hail was crazy! And the rainfall rate was incredible. Flash Flood Warnings are up now. And looks like we still got some more to go. I just reached my hand out the door and snagged these!

The 4th horseman of the apocalypse has arrived!

This lightning is nuts. Can feel the roar starting to build. Yeah the NW to SE is unusual...

One heck of a sunset over the lake tonight...

Yeah just saw a FB alert for snow covered roads in the south towns and saw that radar and traffic cam... Dang! Been coming down here all day at a good clip but nothing sticking. Ugh where’s spring already!

Like excessive cow farts have been known to cause wobbles .

Well the snow spotters at ERI were just quoted saying they are not measuring snow by the generally accepted guidelines of 4 measurements every 6 hours... measuring in 3 hour intervals during the day when compression is highest then at an 8 hour interval overnight when compression is less. Also they are summing 5 daily measurements instead of the accepted 4. I believe this should make the data unofficial! .

Something is certainly not right! What are these sudden precip spikes during overcast conditions? How does 15.6" of snow only add 2" to the snow depth?

Good luck if you come up chasing this year. Feel free to hit me up if you do I can give you better specifics for a good hunt around Buffalo.

Keep your eyes on the upstate blog and wait for us all to start losing our $hit in the T minus 5 day range. If your traveling you got to be ready to drop everything and go. We're usually pretty accurate hitting these events but sometimes they do dud out, the big ones sometimes are a surprise. If your hitting the Buffalo area and looking for lodging I recommend the Hamburg area close to I 90. Your right in the middle of it usually and worst case only a 20-30 minute drive to the northern and southern band areas. Ive never chased off Ontario but heard it's quite an experience. Anywhere along 81 from Oswego to Watertown is gold. But you better be prepared for some extreme snow.
