lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Forgot to add it's snowing pretty nice out by my house. I'd say 1/2 visibility with how strong the winds are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Check out snowband about to cross Buffalo. Lake enhanced band. Looks to be dropping 2-3 inches per hour. Would be beautiful if that parked itself over my house for a few hours! =P http://radar.weather...101111&loop=yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 About 3" has fallen in the past 3 hours. It's very fluffy. Wow nice! We got about 1-1.5 inches from the pre frontal stuff. That band looks insanely impressive though. Probably the most intense snowfall rates in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 God bless the 18z NAM...did everything it could to get 0.3-0.4" back up to around ALB for the Saturday event. If only it wasn't the 18z NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stash Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Its very funny you say that...without looking at the NAM I was about to post that its just about time for an off-hour NAM run to bring significant precip back up into our area.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Still beyond ripping here. Gotta have 3-4" if not more. I will measure when the snow finally stops. Frequent thunder and lightning too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Well the GFS has bumped north a little also I think. Got the .25 line to us again.... GFS qpf usually being a bit more realistic ...that could mean 3 to 4 inches which would be a veritable blizzard this season. BTW...sad state of affairs once east of exit 25 on the Thruway. All the snow vanishes.... I drove in yesterday and noted that. We still have around 4 to 6 inches of concrete on the ground and my driveway is a pure skating rink, Had to use two bags of sand to try to make it navigable. It always too amped or too juicy...but we always look at it with hope that maybe, just maybe, this is the time the blind squirrel finds the nut.

wolfie09 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 kalb SNOW WILL LIKELY BECOME MODERATE FOR A AWHILE FROM JUST SOUTH OFALBANY...BUT THIS WILL BE ANOTHER FAST MOVING SYSTEM WHICH WILL HELP PREVENT HEAVIER AMOUNTS. LIQUID TO SNOW RATIOS LOOK A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THE CLIMATOLOGICAL 13:1...ESPECIALLY FROM ALBANY NORTHWARD. THAT SAID...THE 18Z NAM CAME IN WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF QPF AGAIN AND WOULD IMPLY ADVISORY LEVELS RIGHT UP TO THE CAPITAL DISTRICT. FOR NOW THOUGH...WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE PREVIOUS THINKING OF A 2-4 INCH SNOWFALL GREATER CAPITAL REGION...MOHAWK VALLEY...NORTHERN BERKSHIRES AND SOUTHERN VERMONT. FURTHER SOUTH...4-6 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS THE CATSKILLS...MUCH OF THE MID HUDSON VALLEY...SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES...AND LITCHFIELD COUNTY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Really intense snowfall just went through with some thunder and lightning, definitely most intense that I've seen all year. Received 1 inch earlier and around 1.5-2 inches with this latest band, total for 3 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 ...INTENSE BAND OF LAKE ENHANCED SNOW MOVING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE BUFFALO METRO AREA... A BAND OF VERY HEAVY LAKE ENHANCED SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE BUFFALO METRO AREA THROUGH 6 PM...AND ALSO MOVE ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN ERIE COUNTY...ORLEANS COUNTY AND GENESEE COUNTY. SNOWFALL RATES OF 2 INCHES PER HOUR ARE BEING EXPERIENCED WITHIN THIS BAND. THE VERY HEAVY SNOWFALL COMBINED WITH GUSTY WINDS WILL PRODUCE NEAR ZERO VISIBILITY. THIS WILL RESULT IN VERY DIFFICULT TRAVEL FOR THE AFTERNOON COMMUTE. MOTORISTS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR VERY DIFFICULT AND SLOW DRIVING CONDITIONS. VISIBILITY WILL RAPIDLY IMPROVE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE BUFFALO METRO AREA BETWEEN 530 PM AND 630 PM AS THE BAND PUSHES FARTHER SOUTHEAST.

snowgeek Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 0Z NAM looks like a good hit for central PA to Jersey. Just too flat and supressed to get the good stuff up this way. Still time for a north trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Lack of any blocking and I thought it would trend north, but it's such a piss poor weak s/w.... Still hope for some trend, but who knows. 0Z models say maybe a couple inches for us..... 0Z NAM looks like a good hit for central PA to Jersey.

Still hope for some trend, but who knows. 0Z models say maybe a couple inches for us..... Could be down to the wire. I'd be thrilled if we could muster 3"...actually 3.2" to be exact. Would make it my biggest snow of the year. How pathetic! What did u manage last night in the hills. Only 0.25" here...most of which came with the initial burst before 9pm.

FEFD17 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Am I guessing correct that Glens Falls is a miss on this storm? We did ok last night with the clipper system though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Same... virtually a non event... Being north of the Catskills may have dried up what little there was here with the southerly winds. NAM around .25" for tomorrow.... Could be down to the wire. I'd be thrilled if we could muster 3"...actually 3.2" to be exact. Would make it my biggest snow of the year. How pathetic!
