vortmax Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Just now, TugHillMatt said: Just cleaned up. 3 to 4 inches of very heavy, wet snow. Light snow falling right now. Waiting upon the lake effect snow now. This is when elevation helps. 15 minutes down the road 500 to 700 feet lower in Williamstown they didn't get anything. Looks like paste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say ratios 18 to 1. It's lake effect even in warmer events it's usually higher ratios than synoptic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really really tough to be from Angola to Amherst during this pattern. Such a rough stretch for us with no snow. I’ll go out on a limb and say by tomorrow night everyone in that area will still be looking at grass while every direction N,S,E,W of us will at least be able to look outside and see signs of what winter should look like. This is one of the most depressing midwinter stretches I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the most depressing midwinter stretches I can remember. NW flow blows. Weak lake effect fluff bands that have little residence time. Such a waste of lake Energy. Give me W or SW flow all day. Love watching good LES bands on radar. Even if it doesn't hit me I can chase a real LES storm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is blossoming nicely. What I like to see even more is the synoptic snow and low level moisture slowly working down through Ontario towards the lake. That should be what really kicks things into high gear, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Yes that extra moisture is key to get things cranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
