Upstate NY/North Country + adjacent ON, QC, VT: Spring 2013

[wolfie09]

Wunderground shows qpf, just not the exact amount like the text product..

 

Yea Accu pro gives 1 month free trial, then it's like 24 a month..

[LakeEffectKing]

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.

Well, the drop down menu provides a graphical representation of 3-hour qpf totals that you can estimate quite nicely, not to mention 3-hour snowfall, 850 temps, etc.....

Just said on the news 3ft in my area and looking out my window i can say we got that 3ft WOW.

 

Can you take some pics and post them?

Looks like a pretty decent snowstorm heading our way in a few days. GFS went a little bit more south and colder which yields to the last few Euro runs which bring nearly a foot of snow to WNY.

I was mentioning how weird it is to see the snowfall max so far north for a Miller B bomb.  Usually those swaths go from Illinois through NY/PA, instead of the central Michigan to the north shore of Lake Ontario.

hey id take even a solid advisory event. Synoptic storms which can produce a headline around here are always a bonus.

[lakeeffectkid383]

Going with the 12z NAM and GFS verbatim it looks like a high end advisory event south of BUF (4-7" , with 4" near the PA line and the 7 more towards the southtowns) with warning criteria likely north of BUF (5-10"). Its still early though so things can change but I would think watches will be issued for all of BUFs forecast area with this afternoons package.

[BuffaloWeather]

Just because it's crazy and should be saved somewhere: KBOS off the 12z NAM. Road Trip Anyone?

This will also be a case where the counties south of Ontario could REALLY overperform! 

 

Euro went bonkers in WNY last night...had about 1.2" of QPF. 

 

 

The NAM and the GFS have juiced up a bit but still have the best snow just north.

[OSUmetstud]

I'm not sure good any lake enhancement will really be.  850s are quite warm during the event...it's obviously plenty cold at the surface...but there would only be a small absolutely unstable layer near the ground.  Some of the big prolific enhancement events had -15 to -20c air at 850 dumping in during the storm...this one will not.

============================================================================================================================

now that is amazing. If this stays as is Im seriously contemplating a road trip.

[LakeEffectKing]

I'm not sure good any lake enhancement will really be.  850s are quite warm during the event...it's obviously plenty cold at the surface...but there would only be a small absolutely unstable layer near the ground.  Some of the big prolific enhancement events had -15 to -20c air at 850 dumping in during the storm...this one will not.

 

 

Yeah, per the model output I'd agree...but delta's don't need to be of "LES" quanties...ie ~13C....and I'll bet the lower levels end (up to 850) end up a bit colder, especially if the trend of a stronger northern s/w (in the models) continues a bit longer.  If the 12z Euro can show a capture just a tad further west, the whole pattern would have to slow down a few hours, and allow for some of the lower level air to become involved in the NW circulation.  Good stuff though!  We should all at least see some decent "real" snow...LOL!!

[heavy_wx]

The 12z GFS has 850 mb temperatures getting down to around -8C Saturday evening. That should be cold enough for some enhancement along the south shore of Lake Ontario. The best enhancement will probably be west of here where the NE winds have a greater fetch over the lake.

The 850's before that (as depicted) would probably not cut it to produce much in the way of sig. L. enhancement.....if we see a few degrees cooler...say Sat. 00z over the lake, then we should be in pretty decent shape...not to mention ratios would be, then, a touch higher.....

      12Z NAM appears to have blown a fuse!

LOL.

 

I'm not sure where they got 73" for Boston from though. The BOS bufkit overview from the nam shows *only* 50".

[OSUmetstud]

The Euro is a bit colder during the later stages of the event than the other models...probably has to do with how unbelievably wrapped up it is.  Looks like about -11c at 850mb at 03z Saturday (Friday evening).  While there is still some synoptic precip/lift around.

 

If u want to see what lake-enhancement can really due, take a look at the Feb 58 KU.

What is the timing of this storm exactly?

[lakeeffectkid383]

Winter Storm Watches up for the Northern PA counties that border the southerntier for 6-8" of snow. If they have a WSW up for that much well definitly see one too for at least 5-10".

The Canadian has a nice hit for WNY.

Euro backed off a bit from the ridiculous 00z run...shows about 0.85" QPF in BUF.

thats still 7-12" verbatim. What did the previous run show for BUF?

[OSUmetstud]

1.2" qpf.

 

BUF mentioned 3-5" for WNY this morning but they must have not paid any attention to the Euro last night lol.  Some of the models actually maximize snow near us and have relatively lighter zone over the Finger Lakes because the primary dies overhead and the inverted trough stay near WNY and slowly moves east.

15z sref 24 hr mean accumulated precip for our portion of the storm.

just under an inch in BUF...just over an inch in Niagara and Orleans Counties.

seems like a pretty good event. Prob 5-10" which should be enough for a warning. Ratios will prob be low though with temps in the upper 20s/low 30s.

Hows the snowgrowth with this event looks? Does the omega look to fall in the denedretic snow growth layer?

[lakeeffectkid383]

KBGM just pulled the trigger on a watch for 8-12" with 12"+ north of the Thruway. BUF should pull the trigger soon.

[lakeeffectkid383]

Hpc 12"+

Edit to add: new HPC qpf map. Really beefed up across WNY.

Winter Storm Watch for 9-18" for us. Woo-hoo!

[BuffaloWeather]

I haven't seen a forecast of 9-18 inches for a synoptic storm winter storm watch in quite some time from the Buffalo NWS.

They are usually extremely cautious with giving totals like this in synoptic events. They must be seeing some impressive dynamics or

lake enhancement.

...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH

SATURDAY MORNING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BUFFALO HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM

WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH

SATURDAY MORNING.

* LOCATIONS...THE NIAGARA FRONTIER AND COUNTIES SOUTH OF LAKE ONTARIO.

* TIMING...OVERNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY

MORNING.

* HAZARDS...HEAVY SNOW.

* ACCUMULATIONS...UP TO 2 INCHES OVERNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT...5 TO

10 INCHES FRIDAY...4 TO 7 INCHES FRIDAY NIGHT...AND AN INCH OR

LESS SATURDAY...LEADING TO STORM TOTALS OF POTENTIALLY 9 TO 18

INCHES.

* IMPACTS...HEAVY SNOW MAY RAPIDLY COVER ROADWAYS MAKING FOR

HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS.

* FORECASTER CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM TO HIGH.

[OSUmetstud]

I was wondering what was up with the 18".  What shows that lol?
