Before Erie freezes we get very similar totals to watertown

I agree with this. But the lake has stopped fully freezing over the last few years. What we see is the up and down pattern where we will get arctic air for a few days and then it warms up quick which slows down the freezing process. We are going to see that this weekend with temps in the 50s which will allow more opportunity for LES events further into the winter season. There is not enough data as far as I can tell to prove that hypothesis. For instance, Buffalo had a major LES event in February last year, which would rarely occur in a normal winter due to it being frozen by then historically speaking. Buffalo is getting LES events well into February that otherwise rarely occurred if looking at historical data. Are they happening enough to make it a pattern not a coincidence, I'm not sure about that yet. A few events from last year in February. https://www.weather.gov/buf/lesEventArchive?season=2020-2021&event=F https://www.weather.gov/buf/lesEventArchive?season=2020-2021&event=I

95 minute jeb walk. I maxed out at 1600 viewers, some people even donated lol. They all thought I was insane but I absolutely loved every second of it. I wasn't even cold, just wore my winter hiking gear. I don't think you can see the comments, so ignore the talking.

Amazing stuff that way. Historic for all 5 great lakes!

Going live for a little bit, gonna go walk around until my phone dies if you want to follow along https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3LutXF6kA73itxjVZ9h7-w

band has drifted south into my area

Buf just upped totals again

Good luck measuring in 60-70 mph winds.

Once in a generation for Upstate New York

..LIFE THREATENING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE IN THE BUFFALO METRO AREA AND JEFFERSON COUNTY... Crippling BLIZZARD well underway across the Niagara Frontier with a prolonged period of zero visibility across much of the Buffalo metro area. The Buffalo radar showing a single band of intense snowfall with rates of 2+ inches per hour parked across the Buffalo metro area extending into northwest Genesee, southwest Orleans and southern Niagara counties. The expectation is that the lake band will meander a bit to the north and south, but it appears that it will remain parked across the Buffalo metro area tonight through Saturday, and will not start to drift south until Saturday night. As for the winds, surface pressure over southern Ontario will continue to intensify to around 961mb tonight as it wobbles into Quebec. Peak wind gusts have already exceeded 70 mph across parts of western New York today and most guidance suggests that even stronger winds are possible tonight, before starting to very gradually subside during the day Saturday. The combination of the lake snows and intense winds will maintain the blizzard conditions across the Niagara Frontier through at least the day Saturday.

Fitting for the evening

Slight shift south last few frames. We’re on the southern edge now. IMG_0763.MOV

True my bad

Centimeters but still 105” just nuts

I’ve seen enough. This will go down as buffalos worst snowstorm in history surpassing the blizzard of 1977

Literally insane lol

Yep snowfall totals don’t even matter in this.
