Where did this band come from CNY, lol?

I was wondering the same thing. It looks to be intensifying somewhat on radar. Flake size is actually pretty decent for a change. Maybe we can eke out a couple of fluffy inches.

I'm in the same boat, lol, as this stupid county needs to be split in to 2, North and South, that simple but no!

Hey Freak, that map has you at 6 inches and me 4-6. What do you think are the chances of that verifying ?

Just flipped here, temperature down to 35. 

Looks like the rain/snow line is passing Rochester now. I measured 0.68 inch of rain this morning. The snowpack melted or compacted some but is still pretty substantial. The temperature here briefly got to 42 then fell back into the upper 30s overnight.

33 at the KROC, only 29 to the NE by the lake.

Still 24 here so there’s a ways to go before I hit the freezing mark. Had 0.3 inch of snow/graupel and sleet overnight. Currently light freezing rain with an occasional pinger mixed in.

I have 3 Jeter rookie cards I got opening packs of cards as a kid. He was one of the main reasons of my love of sports and the Yankees. Can’t wait for his induction. 

My love of the Yankees comes from my father. Of course I’m a little before you, my first  hero was Mickey Mantle. Didn’t know of his off field activities back then.

I'd take 48+ NE of Montreal!

That’s up in the Quebec City area. They have their winter carnival coming up.

Rizzuto was the best. I was there for that.

I haven’t been there since I was a kid, my father used to take me. That’s when they used to play the Hall of Fame game the same day at Doubleday Field.

Looks like an Active 10 days. Euro doesn’t pick up lake effect as good as higher res too. That’s 1-2’ buffalo south and 3-4’+ for tug 

I’ll take the 10 inches in my area. 

Wait until next year when Jeter gets in.  Cooperstown will be a zoo for that induction ceremony. Probably won’t be much better this year for Mo’s!

Still snowing here, under the radar. Small flake size. 

Lake response starting to fire up. 

I finally got the snow in my tube melted and the LE is 0.80 inch from 9.2 inches of snow. That gives a ratio of 11.5 to 1 which seems reasonable. 

The temperature keeps dropping, down to 3 right now.

Something happened in Onondaga County, lol!

If you check out the CoCoRaHS reports most in CNY are in the 8 - 11 inch range. 

I’m going to have to rely on lake effect to get anywhere above a foot. I think any significant lake effect will be west of Brewerton.

Flakes starting to resemble that of lake effect, always seems to happen when the back edge is coming through..

It looks like the largest flakes of the storm here. 

Really coming down in Ithaca!

The hole in the radar that was almost over me has filled in and it looks like there should be a couple of hours of moderate to heavy snow that might get me to a foot. Temperature keeps dropping, now down to 5.

Similar #s here. Officially calling this a bust.  Locally anyway. Ratios! Kuchera #epicfail

That’s why I didn’t want to be a Debbie Downer last night but I’ve been through enough of these to sense when thing aren’t panning out the way we hoped. Actually your LE is pretty close to what the models were spitting out but a 8.7:1 ratio is what you would expect in a I95 storm not CNY at sub 10 degrees. 

I only measured 3.4 inches here between 12:30 AM and 7 AM giving me 9.2 for the storm so far. I honestly hope I can squeeze out at least another 3 inches to get me to a foot. I’m about to enter a break in the snow but the radar is still looking pretty good to the south around Ithaca. I’ll have a LE measurement as soon as the snow melts in the tube. 

Did you see the lake effect band off Lake Michigan?  It extends almost the entire length of the lake and comes ashore over Chicago. 

Gorizer in Delanson looks to be getting smoked right now. It will be interesting to see his report. 

Returns on radar appear to be blossoming south and west of here and moving in this direction. Maybe we’ll get into several hours of decent rates after all. As I said all I’m shooting for is a foot and I’m halfway there already.  Anything more after that is icing on the cake!

5.75 as of 12:30 AM.  I measured 1.7 at 6:30 so about 4 inches fell in the last 6 hours. The wind is howling out there.  My over/under total is 12 inches for the synoptic part of the storm. Even with the heaviest returns passing off to the east I think that should be reachable. Flake size is still crappy.
