That probably shoots us above average and if we can eek out 10" more this would be a pretty good month!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 FV3 still seeing lots o snow next week!!! Might as well fit our whole winter into a 2 week stretch! . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Didn't realize we have a shot at LES tomorrow lol Off of Lake Ontario, lake enhanced snow behind the departing cold front and light synoptic snow will start in the early afternoon and transition to lake effect by the mid to late afternoon. Initially a west-southwest flow will start the lake effect over the northern portion of the North Country. Winds shift more to a westerly (260- 280) direction and the longer fetch of the lake allows a better developed lake band to form and focus on the Tug Hill during the late afternoon and into the evening. Guidance is suggesting the potential for a three lake connection with the Lake Ontario band, with the connection extending upstream to Lake Huron and Lake Superior. Winds will continue to shift through the evening to a more northwest direction and then northerly by the middle of the night on Sunday night. This will result in the band shifting south through the early morning, and then dissipating with minimal fetch. Some guidance is holding on to the band over the lake through the morning via a convergence zone over the lake with the much colder airmass over the lake, but winds appear to be a bit to strong to support this. Area east of Lake Ontario, especially over the Tug Hill can expect to receive up to 4 to 8 inches of snow for Sunday into Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude unless I'm looking at something else that late Tues to early Thursday timeframe looks really good for LES, I mean the parameters on the BUFKIT are ridiculous lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Kbuf not impressed.. They have mixing up to Central Oswego county.. An area of low pressure will cross the eastern Great Lakes Monday night and Tuesday. This system may bring some light snow and mixed precipitation to the region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 An extended period of severe winter conditons is expected Tuesday night through Friday. Extremely cold air will build down into the region with dangerously cold wind chills expected during this period. Accumulating, possibly significant lake effect snow is possible east of Lake Ontario during this period. Strong gusty winds will likely cause periods of significant blowing and drifting snow along with poor visibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNash Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 This is amazing. We’re just three miles west of the airport and had about 6.5”. Sadly, this was not the long overdue Northtowns storm. Pedestrian snow totals for Williamsville and the northern part of Cheektowaga. I’m sure the numbers for North Buffalo, Amherst, Kenmore, and Tonawanda will also be on the low side relative to much of Erie County. Clarence did well by virtue of being far enough east to get the airport band. Disappointing, but we keep waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 That band is still kicking in fredonia and not moving much. travel advisory issued there ...A BAND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL AFFECT NORTHWESTERN CATTARAUGUS...
