ACFD FIREMAN Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I'm vacationing in Lake Placid and have picked up a couple inches since 4am. Right in the trajectory of the Ontario lake band and even some Erie connection. Beautiful winter scene outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Was looking like the Erie band was drifting south but now it looks like a dual band forming and about to roll back through the south side of the metro...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Nice to see a whitening of the landscape across Erie County - finally! Took these yesterday along Pike Creek in Southern Erie County. I'm sure things look a lot different now. IMG_0414.JPG IMG_0404.JPG Nice Pics! Where is this located? I used to visit Pike, but in Wyoming county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Band is coming back north. The band over Ontario will start to sink south and set-up over the tug soon. Going to be some very intense rates there this afternoon/evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Erie band producing well today. There's only been a couple reports off the Ontario band and none of them come from the areas that should've been hit hardest, so it's hard to say how the forecast is actually going there. On another note, I mentioned to another forecaster from our school that SYR metro might actually get snow from the Erie band... looks like that's happened!

On another note, I mentioned to another forecaster from our school that SYR metro might actually get snow from the Erie band... looks like that's happened! Boonville's been a bust so far; maybe 2" of very poor flakes. There's no carry to them at this size/density, so I'd expect highest amounts on the West/SW side of the hill. The band's been scattering, and staying further North than predicted as well. This afternoon's updates from Binghamton and Buffalo seem to hedge slightly, while calling for a better band and rates later today/tonight. It's melting pretty fast; the grounds still way too warm.

No where close to forecast. I think we will be hard pressed to get to 12" but depends on where the band sets up this afternoon/night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Occasional snow showers, but main band is 10 miles to the south/southeast now in the Colden/Boston Hills. Looks to remain there through the night and drift north after midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Oswego getting their own version of the squall. Band is an absolute mess right now but it's still producing heavy snow wherever it actually is.

Buffalo Bumble Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Quite a different scene in the woods of Southern Erie County today. This is from Hunter Creek (just southeast of East Aurora) this afternoon - about 8 inches on the ground when I left at 2:30 PM with moderate snow falling.

AppsRunner Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Awesome Enjoy guys! And as soon as the squalls hit... they go away just as quick. Only clouds in the view of the webcam now. This flow screams Pulaski/Mexico to me, but this band has never been fully organized so it's hard to say. Erie has produced a few inches of snow for Syracuse(!) from what I've heard, but still not a ton of reports from Ontario's band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe once that passes and flow aligns you'll be in business tonight off L. Ontario. Nice streamer off Georgian Bay right now too, so upstream looks good.
