Historic Lake Effect Event?! 11/17-11/21
cleetussnow replied to BuffaloWeather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Just go stand on your roof and look west at this point. -
I have a fair amount of experience with LE chasing and also trying to avoid heavy stuff because I needed to get somewhere. I typically have been in and around the tug because I had a camp east of there. Basically you can be unlucky and lucky at the same time: lucky to be in the band you came to see, unlucky because there are times when you just cannot drive. I have an HD truck which is pretty much set up with snow in mind and it usually comes down to viz issues. Cant see, cant drive. The truck will move no problem (within reason) but not if I go into a ditch or something because of viz its game ova.

I am not there but typically compaction is pretty quick. Lake effect ratios can be over 20. Not as high this time though because the lake is very warm. Perhaps we dont see the dramatic compaction of like 25 to 1 ratios. Someone up there can give us the real dope on whats happening on the ground tho rn -

Oh wow I didn't know about those bigger totals. 140 is a lot of snow but I think many on here would settle for 98. wrapping my head around 8 to 12 feet of snow…just cray to think about it even though we know it happens. -

Lets do this. I think Chautauqua was the winner last time with 65 inches. Its well short of the unofficial state record which I think was Redfield in 2007. 11 plus feet? But 66 will do. -
Remember, its fake snow. Yeah. Fake. Doesn't even count. For but real that is kielbasa defined.

Yeah this is going to produce some memorable images, though man, how do you top 2014? Sunday could be a fun day to watch the Bills.

I quit Geico same reason. Went to liberty. Now they are gouging me since I added a teen. switching to Travelers and saving 3K. My froze over last night with a light glaze of ice as the temp got to 27.5 last night. It's pretty shallow. Kicked the bubbler on and cleared the ice. I want the fish to ALL live through this winter. Sick of dead goldfish and koi in the spring.

I can't get to this one...Which is always going to be a challenge because you can't plan for these kinds of things! This would be the one I would want to go after, though. -

Upstate/Eastern New York-Into Winter!
cleetussnow replied to BuffaloWeather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Don't count on the roads being clear in any particular place for any period of time, SUV or not. I have a 2500 with big tires and I've been SOL in that. It's hard to predict what areas get smoked. But this is the nature of the chase. You are going toward the shooting, not running from it. Expect incoming rounds or you are doing it wrong! -

Hey guys if you need a snow fix Buffalo may have something to hold you over. 2 feet plus possible of fake snow from Thursday to Saturday. Some model runs have printed a lot more than that.

Winter 2022-2023 Promises Plenty of Mid Season Mayhem

Hunga tunga got some press. Nice job. May you bust high on temps and low on snow totals. -
I think you mean 10,000 (estimate based on snowfall obs) And Happy Birthday from the (mostly) lurker community!

Maybe December won’t be like last December with a +6 temp departure or whatever it was. Until Christmas day of course. Lets not get greedy.

It is. Its the Snow Advance Index. The problem with it is there is no correlation to anything in terms of winter afaik. Its was the speed of the snow advance or something like that meant something supposedly. Not exactly sure. The concept makes sense at a glance so seems plausible but doesn't appear to have any skill.
