So can anyone verify amounts north and northeast of the city? Looking up wind at the radar off lake Huron the band affecting the northern 1/2 of the Niagara Frontier looks very strong and shows no sign of letting up...this was not forecasted.
Just caught cantore on TWC state the airport picked up 5.4" yesterday on a record 1.13" of liquid! Damn we were about 5 degrees away from a pretty decent event.
Hey has anyone looked at the 12z Euro on pivotal weather? The system for Friday am is completely gone per that run...was there feedback issues with that run?
I'm really starting to think the sweet spot was right the main Street area of Clarence. Once I get out of my neighborhood (1 mile) snow depth increases dramatically each street you get to and as you head east the depth gets greater. It would make sense as that's where the area of greatest convergence was. Last evening I noticed the band would make it to my house but then would wobble south a bit and the wind direction would change to more westerly.
Only thing that scares me about that set up is the winds tearing apart the lake bands. I would hope the winds would still be SW and slacked by a good bit.
Depends how far inland you were...where I live in east Williamsville theres more snow than Williamsville near the walker center...the setup was very marginal from the onset of this event. Lackawanna by the toll barriers has a lot less that areas just east of there by quite a bit.
I will say however since I left the office about 2 hours ago another 2" piled up here on Cayuga Dr across from the airport...im guessing close to 5" here...roads are a disaster and it is the soupiest snow I've witnessed in a long time.
Today is just strange all around, just drive home to my house in Williamsville after leaving a meeting in NT and I hit moderate snow right around youngs and Klein. Nothing was falling anywhere before that.
Same...or at least a home that has pretty significant value...my house isn't cheap and upgrades make it more expensive to repair/replace. I see events like that much differently than I previously did.
