If anyone can upload the pics of the thruway cameras at the 190 290 interchange in Tonawanda it is a virtual whiteout

Winds have really picked up the last 20 min or so, lots of already fallen sno2 blowing around...when the band hits it will be a whiteout.

Yep and the sun is gone in Cheektowaga as the band looks to enter the area.

This should be fun. Dual bands lining up on a SW flow... Just me guessing here we see the southern band slow down just a bit then explode over the metro in the next hour and get shoved on shore pretty quickly. Northern band is more narrow moderate snow sets up around the city and does a more slow sink south.


.

 

It does have that dual stream look to it already and the band width is wider than earlier by a good 10 miles or so. 

So it's interesting how the band isn't sweeping south but it appears the connection was lost and the band is realigning itself more than sweeping...its trajectory is on a bullseye with the metro.

This is gonna be interesting as F 

I noticed the temps for saturday and sunday keep going lower and lower...the Euro might be on to something

The band out over the lake looks to be re-orientating on more is a SW trajectory...wouldnt be surprised to see the snow move back into northern Erie in the next 45 minutes to an hour.

Maybe they got a little to excited over all the powder on their board this morning?

That is effing hilarious...i saw that on the news the other day and all I want to know is whether or not the person who approved that actually had that many lines in front of them!!!

Yes, Snyder. Shut down pretty quick, about 2” OTG. 

Same. About 2" in Williamsville

Hopefully the band will expand a bit as it appears to be doing so over he lame and nudge a bit further south...

Most of southtowns received around 4.5" of snow, outside chance of some double digit totals with this one. 

Your map shows perfectly how that area from just north of the airport missed out...alreast done snowing and at best 2".

Bone job in Williamsville. Still grass blades and on the southern edge of band...

Just now, Buffalo Bumble said:

Closing in on 2” here. As others have noted, very big flakes with little wind. Classic lake effect band. 

Are you in the Northtowns?

Could see some warning amounts verify up in Tonawanda's if it parks over there for several hours.

Agreed...and definitely not seeing the same rates here in Williamsville...probably 1/2" so far so guessing 1" hour at best.

Ripping out there this morning! Wish I would have woke up a little earlier. Does look like the band is moving north to fast and is going to end up on the north side of the metro by 8am.




.

It has been snowing here but still just a dusting...it appears the heavier returns are right near the lake shore up to few miles inland...

Beginning to snow here in Williamsville and yes Dev these flakes are not going to have a problem accumulating!

The band looks like it's going to fly right by the metro this morning in about the next hour and settle into Niagara and Orleans counties for the majority of the morning. At that rate I'm seeing maybe an inch or two at best. On the flip side hopefully the euro is right about next week's storm. 

Just noticed that Niagara county was added to the WWA group from 8am to 3pm for 3 to 5...northern Erie is now 3 to 6...slight uptick

Yeah, they lowered totals as of 650 pm..

Originally it looked like a wnw-nw flow tomorrow night into Thursday which is no longer the case..

And they raised it to 5" for buffalo

18 GOOFUS has joined the south trend with next Tuesdays storm...keeps us in the cold side.

Decent band in NE Ohio

I also have to chuckle that the models always have a 5 or so mile southern bias earlier in the season when the lake is warmer. That is a really nice band. Im feeling someone buffalo north is getting 6+ tomorrow

The ARW model south buff showed a little bit ago might be on to something...the latest AFD supports those a of 7" not being out of the question for northern Erie specifically metro Northtowns...blowing and drifting will become an issue and the afternoon commute could be rough.

What no 3k Nam and it's 0.7" for Buffalo lol

I hate this damn model .

Now watch it verify lol

Well it's already wrong because it's not showing anything over the western side of lower Michigan

Looks to me like the GFS is the only model in the "cutter" camp for that storm next week.

snowing lightly here in west falls. Maybe that band hugging the shoreline will it make up my way.

Down to 35 and the band has really gotten it's act together south of buffalo over the southern 1/3rd of Erie County but that convergence/S/W just to the west could yield a couple inches if it makes its way into far western NY
