SouthBuffaloSteve Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 She is going full bore now! With how that snow is holding on with this winds picking up Id say we start seeing some power outages by midnight. That wind is really starting to be pretty impressive.

There was actually a legit band of East to West lake snow hitting the West end of the lake earlier today. i wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it for myself. Very interesting as delta T's shouldnt have allowed it. I should have grabbed a screen shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Who said WNY can't do synoptic. 30" storm last March and over 20" this March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 No precipitation here near SYR. Just heavy virga. A blessing. I've decided that i'd rather have a virga storm than 18" of I-95 boilerplate gruel. That's for wankers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxNoob Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 It’s actually gotten warmer here the past hour as rain is pushing up from the south faster than the cold from the west. Closing in on a half inch of rain so far lawn is flooded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it really appeared to actually be attached to the lake and stayed there for a bit. I can't be certain but I found it odd and it gave me hope that maybe we could eek out some enhancement on the back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
