Did it only hit the far southtowns? Weird, but there is a big difference driving down union where the northern part of WS only had about an inch or so, then where I am in WS close to 3” and by the time you got to Union near OP road there was close to 5”. Grass still completely covered in this part of WS so we will have a white Christmas here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, the snow on the ground was better than our dusting of mood flakes in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average snowfall in West Seneca probably ranges close to 25-30” a year from the northern part of the town (near where you were) to the southern part near OP (especially near Southwestern/Transit area which always seems to get pounded.

True. My in-laws did get bullseyed by the November storm, with 80+ inches (without drifts, I stood on top of a 6 foot fence post and the snow was still almost to my knee). That was unreal.

CNY_WX Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Just got home from my niece’s just outside of Central Square. I got about 4 3/4 inches here. I81 wasn’t too bad, wet with slushy spots but the county roads haven’t been touched yet and are pretty treacherous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Well, 5 75" and band has moved south into Syracuse and i-90 corridor and weakened. I cleared the snowboard so if we get a bit more stray stuff overnight we might squeak out 6". That's an honest snowfall, at least in these parts. Hard to call it Fake Snow though as it's probably 10:1. I'll do a melted in the a.m. with my daily reportage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Merry Christmas to everyone! Looks like about the whole lakeshore from Niagara to Oswego County is having some nice mood flakes as they wake up this morning. Just glad the grass is still totally covered here and we’re having a white Christmas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY_WX Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Merry Christmas to everyone! The 5 inches of snow that fell here last night was timed perfectly to insure a white Christmas. Not only is the ground covered but the wet snow stuck to everything and it’s a winter wonderland out there! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Ratios finished around 12/1 in pulaski, 6.5" on 0.55" of liquid.. Majority of the day was heavy wet snow until the last strong band moved through, pure fluff.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Measured 5.8" last night. Melted was 0.53" so ratio was 10.9:1, about what I expected. I thought it might be even lower as it was relatively wet and plastered everything. Only a Trace since then. Definately jackpotted here as a few miles south in liverpool it looked like 3 or 4" when I left there last night. The trajectory was perfect for northern Onondaga county for several hours.

Not only that, but theres snow actually falling as well, albeit very very light, but sets the mood just right! I'm just about 3 miles north of N.

wolfie09 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I love snow but hate cleaning it up lol My driveway is the lenth of a football field, takes me several hours to clear it..I'm gonna need a plow.. Just met one of my neighbors for the first time haha He has been measuring snow for the last 10 years with an annual average of 205" per year..Exactly what i was hoping for lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Snowing all morning with the sun out, lol, which just adds to the mood of the Day. Just an awesome scene out there and we're expecting an additional 3-4" tonight only to be washed away Thursday night followed by much colder air, but dry, so lets enjoy the white stuff while its here,lol.Get prepared for some boring weather unless the new year's system comes to fruition and its actually frozen and not wet cause the ball drop has a really good chance of dropping in the rain, which would ultimately suck ass, lol, so let's all cross our fingers, that's it's at least cold enough down to NYC for frozen precip cause rain would just suck royally but it's looking very unlikely!Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-WXFREAK Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Pattern change is evolving as we type. I'd expect the models to become even more erratic until the pattern resets itself, but its gonna take time, perhaps like a step down with each successive event with an eventual switch to snow as opposed to this snow to rain stuff.
