BuffaloWeather Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Just got back from work, nice updates! Seems like everyone has made out pretty well with this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hey Brian, Not sure I called you by your first name before but noticed it off of George's posts. What a nice snowstorm! I think we end up with 15" to 20" by Friday morning if we can tack on another 6" or so tonight and then nickel/dime stuff thereafter. I am going to guess Phoenix runs a two hour delay tomorrow to dig out from round 2. I actually can't blame them for running normal schedule today with 3 to 6 forecasted by the locals. Hey! Yeah I can see why there was school today, the locals were decidedly under forecasting conditions. KBUF had an Advisory out for Oswego County, which I thought was odd with a snow map showing 10-14" total accumulation...granted, over two days or so. My son said there were reports of buses getting stuck...not sure where or even if that's accurate. Conditions were pretty sh*tty all day today, certainly no real lulls in the storm here, as many were forecasting what sounded almost like occasional snow showers.

BuffaloWeather Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 1.5" on the board so far. Will measure again in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Wave Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 The newest NAM has the current precip going until early afternoon tomorrow for CNY(much longer for WNY) and then has another batch dive down on Friday evening as a last gasp. It gives the region 3-5 more inches from midnight tonight until the end of the run. As much as we've bashed it on here, it has had this storm nailed since that funky 18z run on Monday even as the other short range models tried to fizzle the entire thing out.

Will be interesting to see if a round 3 is developing over ENY right now and into tomorrow. Probably won't be as intense as what we've seen to this point, but I'm expecting spokes of precip to generate and continue rotating westward over the next day or so. Too bad that huge feed of moisture that is inundating Maine and New Brunswick couldn't rotate its way this far west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Can't wait to see some of the reports up in WNY from some of you guys. Really nice enhancement it seems that on radar last hour or two. Places just east of Buffalo are cashing in now while northern Buffalo and city proper will get in on the really good stuff rotating out of Ontario in about an hour. Fun night. Enjoy the snow. I'm enjoying my close to 0.5" right now in southern PA so it feels wintery again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Approaching 4" here in the city, steady S+ for the last hour or so..Radar looks great too. I think 8-12" is a pretty good call. KBUF has been on a roll so far this winter. Great WFO you guys have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayuud11 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Plows are taking a nap I think lol, there is a solid 4-5" on city roads. We are up to 5.5" so far.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Wow that band is crushing KBUF. Lots of 30+ dbz showing up right over metro Buffalo. Hope you guys are all getting 1-2"/hr snows right now! Keep us updated!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 7 inches as of 7 am at Kbuf. Think they are going to beat my 7.3 inch call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 7 inches as of 7 am at Kbuf. Think they are going to beat my 7.3 inch call. Very nice Buffalo. When I woke early this morning, Buffalo looked to be in the bulls-eye from a nice band that was dropping out of Ontario. Glad to see it did not disappoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Storm total of 14.5", 1.39" melted. 5.5" fell after 5pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Looks like 10" is the final total in Oswego today. There were a few decent sized drifts (2-3') across campus too. Overall a fun little storm that spread the wealth all across the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNash Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 7.2 in North Buffalo when I left for work around 8:15 AM. Non-WX: traffic was a total cluster this morning. It's like Buffalonians forget how to drive in the snow for the first few weeks of winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad it wasn't a big whooper event or else we could've been ****ed, took me 40 mins just to cross the skyway earlier this morning and it was barely touched.. Side streets were a different story lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNash Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Bands W and SW of that low are weakening, but does it seem like there is a bit of eastward movement? Light snow is picking up a bit in intensity here at work in Amherst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
