  1. How tf was it not issued earlier and why weren't all businesses closed? It was apparent this would be bad for days.
  2. Scanner traffic around Buffalo has not been good, cars getting trapped in massive drifts and people potentially succumbing inside, particularly to carbon monoxide from blocked tailpipes. It literally does sound like a repeat of 1977.
  3. They’ve had numerous 0 or 1/16th mile visibility reports over the past couple hours, I’m not so sure that’s sensor failure.
  4. I mean by definition, it would be extremely rare to have two historic LES events over the course of just over a month.
  5. I'm still a bit suspicious of how far north the 00z NAM is with the primary surface low during its main development though given the location of the strongest upper level diffluence presented in the model (and also in the 18z Euro, which was the more impressive solution). Such a difference could make or a break a major storm for many areas, particularly in Michigan/NW OH/N IN.
  6. Conditions on Lake Erie and Ontario late Friday into Saturday are going to be absolutely nuts.
  7. Probably should have a separate thread for this thing here.
  8. GFS way west. Gonna be another cutter before long lol.
  9. Could actually see severe blizzard conditions verify over a pretty large area if this thing is as intense as it could be. This one checks off all the boxes as of now. “A severe blizzard has winds over 72 km/h (45 mph), near zero visibility, and temperatures of −12 °C (10 °F) or lower.“
  10. This dude is kind of an idiot tbh, not a great source for vetting.
  11. A fitting finale for this historic event. Additional low level convergence near/along the cold front is probably enhancing this thing quite a bit. Would have to think that this will kick several places over 80" for the event and many over 70".
  12. This might be the best photo I've seen yet of the "white wall".
  13. Band is shifting/expanding north again slowly, southern Buffalo suburbs are just going to have ungodly totals that may eclipse 2014 in spots.
  14. I am a bit suspicious of the Orchard Park measurement given it is so much higher than the rest.
  15. This is why I think that this event in the end may end up being more impactful than the 2014 event. You simply can't shovel this kind of stuff in these amounts.
  16. I'd probably want to be in central Erie County, maybe a bit north. Lightning is definitely a possibility, if not a likelihood.
  17. Just chiming in to say this one looks like a doozy, certainly haven't seen this type of potential since Nov 2014. Duration might exceed that and the thermos shouldn't be terribly far off thanks to the record lake temperatures. Looks a potential once-in-a-decade type event if not larger.
  18. Now have a pair of EF4 tornadoes confirmed from this outbreak. Powderly TX and Clarksville TX/Idabel OK.
