I can’t wait to see the totals at KBUF they are dead center under that band! . Clarence looks like jackpot. KBUF is in good spot but rates aren’t as high there.

Hopefully it widens out a bit because close to the lakeshore doesn't look that great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had about four inches in NE Buffalo. One quick burst of heavy snow and a couple hours of moderate snow under the band. Rates are way lower here than further east.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Band just refuses to make it here, has a bit of a southward drift and then just stalled less than a mile to my north. It’s snowing light to at time moderate but literally 1-2 miles north it’s ripping even South Buffalo now to my West and NW is under that band but we continue to somehow be just outside.

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Band is struggling that’s for sure lost whatever extra juice it had with that last wave passing through. But what it’s losing in intensity it’s making up for in that steady state lock. I’m mean we’re closing in on 5 hours now with almost no north/south movement. Been a long time since we had one lock in like this. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 6-7” on the ground here. A bit too far north for the higher totals. 8-9” on the ground in Hamburg. (Snow depth) this is fluffy stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts my storm total at 6.5”. Snow on the ground stands at 6.9”. Just when I say it looks like it’s losing intensity I’m outside and it’s on and off downpours of flakes. Keeps going at 1”/hr like this for another few hours I’ll be happy with it. Wind and cold are a big component too. I’d say this is the best lake effect storm for me here in SB since Nov 2014.

Looks like it has set up with a northern extent from South Buffalo to the airport to Clarence Center, so the bulk of the northtowns were limited to transient bands. It’s nice to get something, but a 5” lake effect event isn’t an LES drought buster. I was hoping we would finally get a big northtowns hit, but no such luck, it seems.

wolfie09 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The original system for early week is pretty much a non event now on the euro, it's all about the system to the south.. Interestingly enough the NWS doesn't even mention this potential.. As for ptype, that seems to be trending toward the warmer end of the spectrum at least for the early Tuesday period. A track to our northwest is now favored by all large scale guidance, which would allow for a brief warmup and accompanying period of possible mixed precipitation or even rain late Monday night into Tuesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Wow looks great! I don’t see it moving for hours it’s settled right on in there. Just think it this was a month ago on a 40* Lake and not one that’s part frozen. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s still raking the metro when your heading back to Hamburg you should shoot up the skyway and get it on dash cam!. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Pretty cellular here for last couple hours. But when it comes down it pounds. Fun watching this wiggle around and spit little bursts around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinksnow18 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Up to 12.6 for the day...that includes the 6" this early morning...still snowing but between 1/2" to 1" hour snows. Can't complain...oh and Buff weather...channel 4 needs to do something about its models...it shows at 10pm the band placement not over the metro at all and in the southtowns...obviously that is very wrong just by radar alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Winds are shifting just a bit from 220 to 230. Could be why were seeing some increase in the intensity again as it’s gaining a little better lake fetch again. Man if the NWS hits that 11 pm south shift call they get some kudos... they called this thing pretty darn well so far. Especially since every local channel blew the forecast. .

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 NWS really feels the band is going to fizzle out in next 2 hours... HOLY Watertown! Already over 12” and another 17” possible. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayuud11 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 FWIW we picked up another 6" here in Cheektowaga since 5pm, that brings the total since last night just a lil over a foot. Not bad at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yeah, band looks great right now. South Buf to West Seneca should be in the thick of it. Back in 2”/hr + right now. Can see it’s settling again... hard to tell if it will keep going or stall over SB WS now... KBUF is out of the heavy now see how long they can ride the edge of the band for....
