LakeEffectKing Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 One last nudge to the west with the mid-level forcing....absolute sweet moisture pump from our super friendly 850mb bomb! Must be insane around Cobleskill!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Another 4.7 since 8 brings me to 10.8. The ride down Route 30 south out of Amsterdam must be pretty wild today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be insane around Cobleskill!!! That area in the triangle between SYR-ALB-BGM is often a sweet spot for mesoscale banding during strong coastals. Seen it many times, including the back-to-back blockbusters back in Xmas 2001 and a week later where we had 20-24” around ALB for each storm while in that region west of Albany 30+ jackpots occurred. Also in some other large synoptic events since. We usually end up just being teased by these just to the east of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ****! Super intense rates out that way for a synoptic event.....3-5"/hr. I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as the Tug is perfectly positioned for LES events, the eastern Dacks and Catskills are for the just offshore bombs....It's just that we've had quite of dearth of those type events over the last decade or so. They were seemingly more common in the 70's and early 80's. Gotta think there will be some "unofficial" reports nearing 4' by tomorrow morning for storm totals.....even without a slanted measuring tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That most enhanced band has been sitting about 10-25 miles west of me though and really racking up the totals there. Get out there and take some pictures! It must be beautiful out there right now.

Logan11 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Valentines Day 2007 especially. The heaviest of around 4 feet was out toward Cherry Valley I believe. The one in late February 2010 was more from this area down to the Catskillsl...46" here in that one and Hunter got 72". 16 minutes ago, Syrmax said: That area in the triangle between SYR-ALB-BGM is often a sweet spot for mesoscale banding during strong coastals.

Logan11 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 That was actually 2002/03. Helderbergs here had 30-36" from the Christmas storm. 19 minutes ago, Syrmax said: That area in the triangle between SYR-ALB-BGM is often a sweet spot for mesoscale banding during strong coastals.

champy Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Nice morning for a snowshoe out back in Skaneateles. Unfortunately mostly on the fringe of westward banding...still a nice 8-10" snowfall 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see winter wx patterns revert back to the 1960s-1990s where BGM to ALB and up into the deep interior of CNE and NNE were usually where to be for big snowstorms. Not the insanity of the past decade’s coastal “blizzards.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than 1995/96, it was like pulling teeth to get a decent snowstorm in SECT where we didn't mix, dryslot, or flat out rain. It scarred me for life.

BuffaloWeather Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 I didn't think it was possible to get a 2" synoptic bomb across WNY. A lot of stuff has to come together right to get the totals we saw. Congrats to Eastern NY too, they deserve it more than anyone. Looks to continue there most of the night.

Logan11 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 That was a like a double event with a 20 hour lull in between. The first was 16" and the second was 30".

I thought it was going to wind down this morning but no!

dutch Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 still going here, impossible to measure, but had some significant drifts when i got home at 5 notice the drift on the gas grill on the porch to the right of the door in the 2nd pic fence in pic 1 is probably 6' tall 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Yeah shes on life support right now with the last few bands swinging through from East to West and don't think it's gonna head the other way. I gotta say, it definitely over-performed, my expectations were much much less as far as depth is concerned. Its still coming down and there's still some more to come I think, perhaps 2" or less to make this an 18" synoptic event and definitely one for the next KU book! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Not sure how this happened..W Fulton reported a 24 hr snowfall of 5.5 as of 6 am and then somehow picked up 8” over the next 9 hrs with lighter precipitation rates during the day..I knew it was no 5” storm lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Man I sure wish we had a pattern like the one were in now earlier in the season but I guess its never to late. Just looked at both the GFS and the EURO and there are several more synoptic chances the next 2 weeks so the tracking continuous! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
