This thread kind of died. Picked up 7.2" from todays lake effect event. Had some snowfall rates above 2" per Few pics From NYS thruway

3.7" for round 1 and 3.5" for round 2. 7.2" total with snow depth at 6"

We've had one other event, but was mainly a Airport/Lancaster/Clarence hit.

A good friend of mine lives right around the corner from you. Drove down that road a bunch of times.

Slowing down here now just light snow

Near whiteout conditions now

Work window

Blasdell Hamburgs cam is unavailable but very heavy snow right now

Elma had to get 4" in the last hour. They were under the highest returns.

This happens quite often when it drifts south. I think it has to do with the topography of the coast along with the southern portions hitting the boston hills. This was not modeled well.

I would count last year as high magnitude. They get quite a few events but it's tough to get a major storm there. A consistent SSW wind setup is extremely difficult for LES.

The band isn't too strong here, Elma is getting smoked.

Band looks like its moving north last few frames.

North Buffalo, Kenmore, Tonawanda, Northern Amherst are snow wastelands. That's a fact, just gotta accept it. Their annual is probably 70" per.
