Some heavy snow moving in next few hours across all of WNY

Devin sent me about 20 angry texts about how wrong I was at changeover time of 9 PM between 8-9 and that it wouldn't change over until 2-3 am.

Turned to full snow here around 905-910

As modeled. Most likely around 9 pm for you.

This discussion is fascinating and I know nothing of what you guys are talking about. I am of the opinion that we need renewable energy and we need it quick. Fully renewable within 30 years max...I know its possible to. We just got 3 vaccines done in 9 months...Put the money out there and smart people will get it done. I feel like automated nuclear energy would be a problem. What happens with a malfunctioning AI/Robot? Is someone on call 24/7 to get there quick enough to fix the problem? I see lots of problems with this type of energy running our entire power grid globally.

Are you chasing this weekend? Can always stop by my place for the night if you want. You have to sleep on the couch though. Didn't buy an extra bed yet.

Definitely going to be a flash freeze overnight. There are ponds of water all over the roads with so much rain. ...RAIN AND FREEZING RAIN CHANGING OVER TO SNOW FOR WESTERN NY... RAIN, ALONG WITH SOME FREEZING RAIN OVER THE SOUTHERN TIER, WILL QUICKLY CHANGE OVER TO SNOW BETWEEN 6 AND 9 PM. THE CHANGEOVER HAS ALREADY OCCURRED OVER THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE STATE. CLOSER TO THE BUFFALO METRO AREA, SNOW IS MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. OVER THE SOUTHERN TIER, EXPECT AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW OVER A GLAZE OF ICE. OVER THE REST OF WESTERN NY, EXPECT ABOUT 1 INCH OF SNOW BY 9PM. ROADS MAY QUICKLY BECOME SLIPPERY AS THE WINTRY WEATHER MOVES IN.

Is this the 3rd storm this year you guys thought nothing was coming and ended up jack-potting? The theme of this year is the storm goes 50-100 miles further west than modeled last minute. Definitely Torontos winter so far. What are you guys at so far?

Even got the table on the deck ready for a photo op for you guys.

I think it’s going to be sooner than that. Getting food along Hamburg lakeshore at lucias. and full sleet here. Small shoutout but lucias was rated as a top 100 restaurant in entire United States. The food is the best I’ve ever had. Getting lobster tail tonight with a nice whisky while I watch the snow fall. Utopia tonight fellas!

34 degrees and starting to mix

Kbuf increased totals over my place 24-30 across south towns

The Christmas music and a lake snow warning was pretty much my utopia as a kid.

GEFS pretty tightly clustered, pretty much now casting time

Anyone remember the old school weather channel on the 8s forecast. I remember watching this for dec 1995 LES event in the city as a kid. The nostalgia lol.

Looks like we get a slightly better Pacific into the new year

some mid 40s lake temps still showing up.

My cam link for anyone interested https://video.nest.com/live/7Lel0fR0Ox

lake temps in the lowers 40s with 850s in the -13 to -15 range should create snowfall rates near 3" per hour in best bands

I figured out how to create a timelapse with my nest cam.

Look at lake Michigan firing

We change to snow between 4-6 pm, look at those lakes firing.
