ROC Airport...

https://www2.monroecounty.gov/airport-camviewer.php?1548870705 Looks like more than flurries at the airport.

Wha?? That's something you would read from the top of Mt. Rainier or something...lol

Can you do the same for that starting point to Walworth?

Maybe the elevation from Erie to Walworth isn't as much of a factor vs. more SW from Erie to Chili?

Yeah, I thought it looked fishy to have a WSW stop right before Monroe Cty. with no advisory.

Kuchera FTW! lol

Don't see a WSW for this duration very often:

Not really digging the snow 'hole' over the ROC area. WSW to the West, to the East, to the South...what gives?

Nice tea kettle going this AM. 1" of fluff.

We've been snow since 7:30am...NE of KROC. Down to 33 from 41. Definitely some substantial melt, but still snow covered everywhere.

Interesting part from the AFD: A band may then become quite intense Friday night along the Southern Lake Ontario shore from about Wayne County to Oswego County with snow rates in excess of 2"/hr as is often the case with increased convergence at night. There is the possibility that the band may hug Monroe County as well. These types of bands however typically remain just north of the Rochester Metro area and sometimes even have a slight concave appearance on radar. Regardless, this will probably be the most intense and interesting part of this particular lake effect event. The band should begin to weaken and move to the north on Saturday as winds back with time. Could be a surprise event for us south shore peeps...maybe even Irondequoit Dave!

Nice, about time you guys get something good.

WSW for Northern Wayne as well.

Topography in WNY. Sucks with a southerly wind.

Just went above 32 here now...can't fight that S wind...scours out the cold are very well.

33 at the KROC, only 29 to the NE by the lake.

I'd take 48+ NE of Montreal!

Temps are already lower than forecasted. Wonder if it'll make a difference for tomorrows changeover timing - some surprises tomorrow?

Wow, totals?? Looks like a legit anafrontal setup.

Lol, someone from the NWS is lurking on this forum!

1" of fluff party night. Tea kettle I presume?

The entire event. I'd say 17" for synoptic w/lake enhancement and 10" from pure LE.

I'd be willing to share the love after getting almost 30"! Lol...almost a 1/3 of our season average in a couple of days.

Don't let it go to your head! Haha. In all seriousness, I think the post-LE was under-called by many due to most experiences we've had. This time, there were some unique things that likely helped (e.g., above normal lake temps, etc). Would be interesting to see a post-mortem write-up to see what those were and how much they contributed. STILL snowing here, BTW.
