It perplexed all the mets on the New England forum, they didn't understand it. The banding in Southern Vermont and NH they understood, but the Binghamton banding they couldn't figure out. Hopefully some good papers will be written on it. I've never seen strong LES rates in synoptic like that outside of right along the coast or higher elevations in upslope.

Coldest airmass of season pours across the region on Christmas Day with synoptic snow giving way to moderate to heavy lake snow east of both Lakes. Travel likely to become an issue, mainly from southern suburbs of Buffalo to PA line and east of Lake Ontario. Heavy lake snows Christmas night east of both lakes. Cap 8-12k ft so rates >2" likely with DGZ fully in play. Thunder/lightning will also be possible (esp east of Lk Ont). Impressive lake snows will persist through Saturday, possibly lingering into Sunday morning, while remainder of the region will experience occasional snow showers under cyclonic flow aloft and mid winter temps well below freezing.

Euro with a beautiful SW flow, lacks a little moisture but would be a big time metro event

I'm back from the hardest hike of my life. 17 miles, -10 degree temps and 2-3 feet of snow at the summit. Took me 15 hours to complete, my hands were frozen, my toes were frozen, and I cant feel my legs but I did the Santorini ridge! 6 guys started the hike and only 3 finished the entire ridge. 24/46 peaks completed! Euro looks fantastic for LES, I'm still a little leary with the overall setup with dry air and wind direction being the biggest factors.

Bing and Alb with the lead. This is definitely a first.

Looks pretty spread out to me.

Not sure if my last post is viewable but near Binghamton

You're a quick mover. Took me 2 days to move.

Figured I'd post this for you guys too. Radar of storm for northern PA

Eastern NY totals

It actually performed the best with the last storm.

Just put together the radar for the storm, just insane. 3-6" rates

Had to get a radar grab of this one. Just uploaded the full storm.

A poster from Upstate has a 44-45" snow depth, he likely got 50". Just insanity. It blew Binghamtons all timer snowstorm by like a foot.

I think you received the highest total anywhere, banding is very localized. Your total is most likely 48-50".

fascinating.

Just crazy totals in central NY. Look at these 3 hours. I didn't know this was possible in NY from synoptic. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&product=PNS&issuedby=BGM ...New York... ...Broome County... 2 SW Nws Binghamton 41.0 in 0640 AM 12/17 NWS Employee Vestal 41.0 in 0730 AM 12/17 Public 2 S Binghamton 41.0 in 0800 AM 12/17 Public Endicott 40.5 in 0550 AM 12/17 Trained Spotter 2 E Vestal 40.2 in 0700 AM 12/17 NWS Employee 2 SW Vestal Center 40.0 in 0730 AM 12/17 NWS Employee Nws Binghamton 39.6 in 0700 AM 12/17 Official NWS Obs West Corners 39.5 in 0649 AM 12/17 Public Endwell 37.0 in 0622 AM 12/17 Public Chenango Bridge 36.0 in 0742 AM 12/17 Public 2 SSE Vestal Center 35.0 in 0747 AM 12/17 Public Binghamton 30.5 in 0715 AM 12/17 Public Lisle 30.0 in 0626 AM 12/17 Public Port Dickinson 30.0 in 0703 AM 12/17 Public Nanticoke 29.0 in 0636 AM 12/17 Public 2 NNW Port Crane 28.6 in 0615 AM 12/17 NWS Employee Kirkwood 24.0 in 0625 AM 12/17 Public 2 ENE Lisle 23.0 in 0721 AM 12/17 Public ...Tioga County... 2 SE Newark Valley 44.0 in 0700 AM 12/17 Public Owego 40.0 in 0815 AM 12/17 Public 1 N Foster 38.0 in 0630 AM 12/17 NWS Employee Tioga Terrace 36.0 in 0600 AM 12/17 Public Waverly 32.0 in 0748 AM 12/17 Public Lockwood 26.0 in 0631 AM 12/17 Public Berkshire 25.0 in 0730 AM 12/17 Trained Spotter ...Pennsylvania... ...Bradford County...

How was such a weak low pressure system able to generate these kind of totals. It was also quick moving. I think it topped out at like 997 MB. I'm kind of confused right now.

Snowfall Totals. 10" in Wellsville was most in WNY. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&product=PNS&issuedby=BUF

You got over 50" if you have a 45" depth. I received 50" during round 1 of Nov 2014 LES and my depth was 36-38" depending on location in yard.

My uncles farm Buried, that's a pretty big german shepherd. I would say they got a little over 3 feet.
