Historic Lake Effect Event?! 11/17-11/21
Leelee replied to BuffaloWeather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
I was in the bullseye for 2014 too and I would agree. The thundersnow last night on the streams I were watching was incredible. 2014 was also more narrow in coverage. The part where 2014 may "win" though is the flooding was terrible as there were 65+F very windy days that were prime melting conditions that wiped it all away quickly. This time, the thaw should be more orderly. -
Upstate/Eastern New York-Springtime?
Leelee replied to BuffaloWeather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
I have a friend near Williston and they are not pleased about the weather there. They get true blizzards that we very rarely get. -

Band left a quick dusting here in Amherst, looks like it's south of me now. -
Upstate/Eastern New York-Springtime?
Leelee replied to BuffaloWeather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
This was never going to be much at lower elevations unless there was surprisingly long lasting heavy snow that doesn't happen this time of year with cellular lake effect or extreme cold. I don't know why NWS and some mets put up the clown maps, but I complain about that enough. -
Upstate/Eastern New York-Springtime?
Leelee replied to BuffaloWeather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
The lady that always has the gaudy highest totals in Perrysburg is on some high peak that wrings out the most snow. I'm related to restaurant owners in South Dayton or Dayton, not sure, and it's not nearly as much. I think it's mostly elevation to get the true weenie title. -

Pretty snowglobe lasted for about a half hour with that band in Amherst, just started to accumulate off of grass. Enjoyed it, probably the last one. -
Upstate/Eastern New York-Springtime?
Leelee replied to BuffaloWeather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
It's not expensive in Cattaraugus County. I assume it's because of the terrain that it's not more developed, and even driving around there in summer can be hair raising, I'm not nearly brave enough to try there in winter. I'm excited for my yearly summer trip through Amish country in Chautauqua... Cherry Creek to Clymer. Beautiful area and a way of living I admire. -

85 degrees 2 weeks before that too. Again please. -
Upstate NY Banter and General Discussion..
Leelee replied to wolfie09's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
I assumed the Browns cleared Watson well enough to mortgage their future for him. But... then I saw that the Browns purposely gave Watson a deal where if he gets suspended again, he'd only lose $1M from his base contract. So, yeah... Winning in the NFL supersedes anything you do in life though, unfortunately. -
Upstate NY Banter and General Discussion..
Leelee replied to wolfie09's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Yeah, but the Browns window to win is now with their roster and they went and got the best QB they could, which I can never disagree with. Bills fans know the torture of below average QBs for 2 decades and how fun it is now. I think it's more the confusion of why they're giving up on Mayfield and mortgaging the future. -

Cold, rainy stretches in April are the worst. We're hitting the time of year where I'm always hoping for above average temps. -
Potential large EC storm/Heavy LES March 11-13th
Leelee replied to LakeEffectKing's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
It's been snowing big fluffy flakes for 2+ hours in Amherst, having a hard time sticking on anything but grass. This started a bit too early. -

Leelee replied to LakeEffectKing's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
That's what meteorologists are trained to do, sometimes using their knowledge to override models altogether. -
B winter for me in Amherst. Compared to the last and first 2 winters I lived here with little snow, it was nice having a steady snowpack for 6 weeks finally. I wish a good LES event would have happened up here, but that requires a lot of ingredients falling in place. I'd say Buffalo Metro and the airport is an A with the amount of big snows they got this season. The further south of the city you go would be like a C to an F since this was an awful NW lake effect year.
-
Yes. Unless there's prolonged below average temps in March, snow is a waste as the temps and sun angle gobble it up quickly. Except NWS and CPC which has been consistent with forecasting at least normal temps for the 2nd half of winter along the Eastern US. Not that they're perfect, but there's been a fair amount of biased hope among enthusiasts.

Feb 24-25th Snowstorm- Observation Thread
Leelee replied to BuffaloWeather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
This was a big bust everywhere west of you. All models did poorly on this one, especially over the Great Lakes. Way too much moisture, hundreds of miles off on the northern extent of snow, sleet line was well north, dry slot was off... Buffalo got screwed on this one, which is why you're not seeing the usual posters here lol. 2" here in Amherst, south of here where most posters are got less than that. -
Potential of Widespread Snow/ Mixed Precipitation 2/25
Leelee replied to sferic's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
I'd take 4" around Buffalo now. I think it's only going to trend lower. -
Potential of Widespread Snow/ Mixed Precipitation 2/25
Leelee replied to sferic's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Don't these secondary coastal lows usually take more moisture from the primary than models suggest though? That seems like what KBUF discussion has been suggesting the last few days kind of downplaying what models are showing. -
Feb 2-4th Snowstorm- Observation Thread
Leelee replied to BuffaloWeather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Living in an area where roads are well plowed and taken care of makes all the difference. I've been in both sides of that, and turned me into more of a snow 'weenie' over time. 4" so far in Amherst, this should be a 12"+ storm here. -
Model Mayhem Snowstorm! 2/2-2/4
Leelee replied to BuffaloWeather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Same here. I've enjoyed jogging outside this week. That's shut down for at least another 2 weeks soon. I'm getting those looking at long-range models and wishing it was March feels.
