If this shifts 50 miles south I'll lose this storm.

 

Ya, the south trend I hope stops haha. But overall even another shift south should still have you get 3-6". I know it would be a tough pill to swallow but only a few days ago I was ready for upper 40s and rain so if your telling me I have to settle for a run of the mill snow event and retain most of my snowpack sign me up 

lol the SE shift can stop anytime. Before you know it it will be another coastal storm and were cold and dry

Spitting out some unbelievable amounts. A true weeny run. Sweet

How much? haha 

Next week though is definitely giving out some big ice storm potential. 

Big time weenie forecast but I wouldnt mind a few hours of freezing rain at the beginning, followed by heavy snow 6+ inches and gusty winds. It would almost guarantee that the snowpack is sticking around for most of February.

That's a cool looking storm

sign me up for something like that. Ice storm/sleet in Texas, winter storm for Missouri-WNY/NNY and an ice storm for southern tier. 

Dont mean to be off topic but since were all discussing old members haha... Snowstorm Canuck from Toronto. I think he pops in occasionally but I dont think he posts regularly anymore. Dont even know the last time he posted (though I wasn't here for last weeks epic storm so apologize if he came back for that) 

But back to the storm. Its definitely got my attention now. I missed the one last week so this would be a nice consolation

I mean...I have mixed feelings that we trended away from that pattern now, but it'd be nice if we could book it for April/May.

Thats how I feel. At this time of year any SE ridge just annoys me with upper 30s and low 40s. But every week forward the averages start increasing that by mid march a nice SE ridge is 50s here. 

Ice to snow or even rain-ice-snow will essentially lock in this snowpack for a long time.

Im interested to see what the lake looks like by sunday. 

lol not sure what this one guys talking about, but overall if the pattern can slow down a bit and extend the cold a bit longer id be happy. 

either way I think this winter for Buffalo-Toronto area will end up being remembered as a good one by the local population. Snow cover for two weeks minimum check, big snowstorm check, big time cold check. 

What’s a good weather station for under 200? I’m hoping to connect it to my phone so I can see the data all the time 

Also 78F down here in Fort Myers area today. Upper 60s and sunny Sunday for the Bills game

Pattern on weeklies goes similar to what we had back in December

If it can get pushed back a week or two I’d like it. Getting married end of march so an early spring is what I’m hoping for lol

We have just transitioned into yet another pattern, one in which favors an Eastern US trough and the PV meandering around and just northeast of the Hudson. As many have alluded to in other threads, it's a fairly zzz looking pattern for most of the sub-forum if you're looking for something great. Should have the opportunity for some clippers to ride through the region, but really any hope for anything really interesting will be tied to whether or not we can get a stronger clipper (such as what is currently modeled for early next week). It appears this pattern is here to stay through very late month.

Beyond that, there are some signs that we could transition into yet another pattern sometime around the flip into February. Current look of that pattern would be one in which is more active once again. ...But ENS have been horrid beyond about a week to week and a half out this season, so I wouldn't jump on anything being shown yet.

This cold will freeze the lakes up pretty fast. Ideally a few clippers spread snow to everyone.

enjoy guys! All it took for a big dog was for me to head to Florida. I woke up this morning though to tornado warnings from the same storm so all is not lost haha

The streamers up near Watertown is from georgian bay.

Yeah, especially after this flash-freeze type situation.

https://weather.gc.ca/map_e.html?layers=radar&zoom=-1&center=44.19981915%2C-80.03659662

You can see that Georgian Bay band that is making it all the way to Watertown, its just dumping snow on Hwy 11. Don't envy the truckers doing the late night hauls tonight on the 400/11, but would love to be up there enjoying it from inside a house haha

Is that the start of the multi-lake band crossing Lake Ontario?

You can see why EC had to pull the trigger on winter weather advisories for Toronto-Niagara region. Certainly not big dog numbers but enough to get peoples attention

You almost in the worst area of Southern Ontario for lake snow. Its good you can get some bonus snow with a North East wind. You ever get any erie action. Suspect that's rare would have to be a ssw wind

The GTA is getting some streamers tonight and so am I currently (to keep the convo more relevant) 

The wind is allowing the Lake Huron bands to push all the way into Toronto/Hamilton. Winter weather travel advisories for 1-3" tonight from Lake effect. 

Barrie (120K population) could see 16-24" by Tuesday morning. Most of the southern Ontario snow belts are under a snow squall warning for 8" or more

Nope. Wish we did. Wish we had some posters from hamilton area for those easterly lake events

haha thats almost me. But Im actually from Caledonia Ontario. I moved from Mississauga to Caledonia a few years back and find I currently live about 10 miles away from those big events in Hamilton. I still get bonus snow from those NE winds during snowstorms but those 10 miles away see 18-24" while I would get 8-14" and everyone else without lake enhancement gets 6-10" 

Its certainly not very relevant information but it is a weather board. Those big events your talking about normally happen in Ancaster, Mount Hope/Hamilton Airport. The actual city of Hamilton most people see while driving from Buffalo-Toronto is below the escarpment but lots of suburbs and the airport are on top. The quick elevation helps produce some bigger snows on the top of the escarpment https://en-ca.topographic-map.com/maps/siv3/Hamilton/

Good Wayne county spotters are important with the lack of radar coverage for lake effect events. Glad to have you two.  West of me is a huge hole. I don’t think we have or have ever had one Orleans member. 

Do we have any Niagara Falls (NY or ON)-Lewiston-Youngstown members on here?

The last week of it would be, the rest is serviceable 

Ill take it. Leaving for Florida January 12th for 10-14 days so coming back just in time.

I agree. Also it is snowing in Hamilton Ontario already. Environment Canada is calling for up to 1 to 2 Cm per hour at times over night. 5-10cm (roughly 2-5”) accumulation but higher amounts in enhanced areas.

Its more ice pellets here in the Hamilton area with a temperature at my house of 34F. Should be all snow around 7-9pm. Environment Canada is saying 2-5" and The weather Network (weather channel pretty much) is calling for 4-6" here.

GEFS show loads of synoptic chances next 2 weeks.

Im driving down to Florida around January 10th. Taking a longer route along the VA-NC-SC-GA coastline. Ideally I see one legitimate winter storm before then. Dont really want to drive thru PA in one haha 

28 minutes ago, BuffaloWeather said:

The GFS would turn our winter around in a hurry. It features a 20" snowstorm for all and then an epic LES event east/northesat of the lakes.

That would be a big turn around haha. I say it every winter but I hope the SE ridge flexes hard in March and April. I enjoy warmer springs and despise mud season
