Nice multi-day lake effect event in our neck of the woods from last Thursday through yesterday.  Good to see a broad area get in on the action for a change.  The flow really backed yesterday, allowing places like Grand Island off Erie and Clayton off Ontario to jackpot.  Looks like the Chatauqua ridge locations in Cat County get the overall jackpot from this event.  

 

One interesting postscript from the event - BUF exceeded its ENTIRE January snowfall (6.2 inches) in about a 2-3 hour period yesterday morning between 1 and 4 AM.

... Lake effect snow warning in effect from 10 PM this evening to
7 am EST Tuesday...

The National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a lake
effect snow warning... which is in effect from 10 PM this evening
to 7 am EST Tuesday. The lake effect snow watch is no longer in
effect.

* Locations... north central Onondaga County... northern
Madison... and southern Oneida counties.

* Hazards... locally heavy snow.

* Accumulations... 8 to 12 inches of snow with locally higher
amounts possible. The heaviest accumulations will fall across
northern Onondaga County from Metro Syracuse northward
. In
addition heavier amounts are likely along with the border between
Oneida and Madison counties. Amounts will sharply drop off south
of these areas.

* Timing... snow showers this evening will transition to heavier
snow squalls by early Monday morning. The heaviest snow will
fall through Monday evening before diminishing late Monday
night. Snowfall rates of more than two inches per hour are
possible late Monday afternoon... which will impact the rush hour
Monday evening.

* Temperatures... in the teens tonight to lower 20s Monday.

* Winds... west 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.

* Impacts... snow covered and slippery conditions on untreated
roadways. Poor visibility with near whiteouts likely in the
heaviest squalls.


Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A lake effect snow warning means significant amounts of lake
effect snow are forecast that will make travel very hazardous or
impossible. Lake effect snow showers typically align themselves
in bands and will likely be intense enough to drop 1 to several
inches of snow per hour for several hours. Visibilities vary
greatly and can drop to zero within minutes. Travel is strongly
discouraged. Commerce could be severely impacted. If you must
travel... keep an extra flashlight... food... and water in your
vehicle in case of an emergency.

Please report snowfall amounts to the National Weather Service by
calling toll free at 1-877-633-6772... or by email at
[email protected].

Gotta like this from aft AFD from KBGM.  At least for MBY.

 

 

IN GENERAL LOOKING FOR 8 TO 12 ACROSS CNY...WITH THE FOCUS RIGHTALONG THE ONONDAGA/OSWEGO COUNTY BORDER...SOUTH AND EAST ALONG THEMADISON/ONEIDA BORDER AND THE OTSEGO/HERKIMER BORDER. OUR HIGHESTVALUES ON OUR SNOW TOTAL MAP ARE A TAD FARTHER NORTH OF WHAT THEMEAN WIND VALUES IN BUFKIT WOULD SUGGEST ALONG WITH OUR LOCAL WRF.FEEL BOTH OF THESE PRODUCTS HAVE HAD A SOUTHWARD BIAS THIS WINTERAND I AM MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT THE 925 MB-700 MB STREAMLINES SHOWALONG WITH THE ARW. THE ARW HAS PERFORMED THE BEST THUS FAR THISWINTER.

Closing in on 3" of pure fluff here now. Nice steady light snow with huge dendrites since about 4pm.

 

Yeah has not stopped snowing all day. From 10 am to midnight with no breaks, never heavy but moderate snow for several hours and the fluff factor is definitely helping accumulations. Driveway has 3-4 inches of new snow on it! Rates have been quite decent a little bit closer to the lake on this one I think.

If you need to know how to work this interactive source (ie get Euro output) let me know.....start with the menu on the side and only click on model data, then drop down menu to euro output...

That only shows the model run, not qpf output though. You have to pay to see that I believe. Or there is a 1 month trial version I believe as well.
