Buffalo Bumble Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 1 hour ago, BuffaloWeather said: Really hope we can get into a clipper pattern that is depicted at end of GFS, its typically Upstates best pattern for consistent snowfall every few days with lake enhancement in front and LES behind. Love that look, just wish it wasn’t over 2 weeks out! Hopefully the modeling keeps trending in that direction so we can have something legit on the table to really start tracking after mid month.

wolfie09 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 If i ever needed the euro to be correct it's now lol The majority of this is frozen for northern oswego county, a little rain mixed in during the "lull" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Another strong mid level shortwave and associated surface low will reach the eastern Great Lakes very late Tuesday afternoon and evening. While model guidance is in good agreement with the large scale features, there are some differences in the finer details as to where the band of most persistent precipitation will develop with this system. The initial area of precipitation will be in the form of rain late Tuesday afternoon and evening. Cold advection will increase Tuesday night, allowing the rain to change to snow later Tuesday night. Precipitation will be mainly snow by Wednesday morning, with the possible exception of the immediate lakeshores. Some minor accumulations are expected by daybreak Wednesday across higher terrain. Wednesday and Wednesday night a surface low will rapidly deepen over the Gulf of Maine before moving into the Canadian Maritimes. A deep mid level trough will carve out across the Great Lakes and New England, with several mid level shortwaves moving through the longwave trough. An extended period of moist northwest flow will setup across the eastern Great Lakes, with lake induced equilibrium levels rising to over 8K feet with time. This will all support widespread snow showers and embedded areas of steadier light snow Wednesday and Wednesday night. The combination of lake enhancement and northwest upslope flow will bring accumulating snows to the higher terrain of the western Southern Tier, Tug Hill, and western foothills of the Adirondacks. This may require winter headlines as the details become more apparent and confidence increases on the timing and placement of heavier snow amounts. Even across the lower elevations of the lake plains expect some modest accumulations during this time period. It will also be quite windy Wednesday and Wednesday night with some blowing and drifting snow in areas which receive accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Ouch 18z nam takes away all snow with the warm front and replaces it with ice.. Over 1/2" on the tug.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 All week, this was consistently shown to drop 6 to 10 inches of snow here on the Tug...run after run showed it. Now the day before it becomes a few inches with ice. These low pressure systems have blown chunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 That's from the warm front.. We have another more important system on Tuesday night-wed.. Models haven't handled this set up to well but we are getting there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upslope regions could do better. IE: finger lakes hillsides and Madison CTY as suggested before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 You all up on or near the Tug enjoy the snow this week. Looking like nuisance amounts south of there. I missed out on a round of golf with friends this past Friday, too busy at work. Hopefully we can stay on the mild side and get in a round or two this month or in Feb. Looks very possible this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinksnow18 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 The discussion that follows explains how all long range models are coming into better agreement at most of the conus east of the Rockies having BN temps during weeks 3 and 4 and beyond. Multiple chances for snow after tomorrow including what looks to be a decent chance next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 A robust shortwave trough will drop south across the Upper Great Lakes by Tuesday afternoon. The left exit region of a jet streak will promote cyclogenesis and low pressure will move north of Lake Erie and across Lake Ontario by Tuesday evening. An associated cold front will move east across WNY during this time and rain and snow showers will spread across WNY. Temperatures and the wet-bulb effect will lower temperatures quickly Tuesday evening, first across the higher terrain and then across the Lake Plains overnight. East of Lake Ontario...Upward forcing will increase in vicinity of the low as it approaches overnight. A deformation zone will likely stretch from the northern shore of Lake Ontario into the Adirondacks by Wednesday morning. Rain is expected at lower elevations in the evening before changing to all snow by morning. Temperatures will be near or below freezing at higher elevations through the night and snow is expected Tuesday night. Due to the marginal temperatures, minor accumulations are expected and will be confined to the higher terrain with 1-2 inches expected by Wednesday morning. Low pressure will move into the Gulf of Maine Wednesday morning. Multiple shortwave troughs will rotate around a larger trough that is located across the Northeast. Northwest flow will setup across the eastern Great Lakes and cold air advection will transport cold, Canadian air into the region. Snow showers are expected into Wednesday evening as lake induced equilibrium levels increase and the dendritic snow growth zone lowers. Temperatures will hold steady during the day with temperatures in the mid 30`s along the lakeshore and mid to upper 20`s on the higher terrain. It won`t be until Wednesday afternoon when 850mb temperatures reach the minus teens C and lake effect enhancement gets going. Moist, northwest flow continues Wednesday night and lake induced instability really ramps up. Moderate to heavy snow is possible at times Wednesday night with the greatest accumulation across the higher terrain. Winter headlines may be needed Wed-Wed night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hope everyone has their snowblowers tuned up, their snowmobiles gassed up cause Winter may finally be making a return after a month sabbatical. Cold and Snowy most of November to first week of Dec then Normal to above for 4-5 weeks and now we finally see a real change in guidance but is it sustainable, I think so but who really knows but from what Ive seen, we're looking at 4-6 weeks of true mid Winter conditions so we'll see, but it is late by a couple weeks, no doubt!
