Biggest snows were south and east of a line from just north of the galleria to just north of the airport to roughly Maple and Transit to Clarence Center. I have to drive out to Klein and Transit this afternoon so I can try to verify where the cutoff of that band is. Man I thought I measured short of that but I did miss the evening measurement so that could be why I was @ 12.6" I am right at maple and transit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 A more widespread area of light snow will develop across Western NY by late tonight, and spread eastward across the entire area Sunday morning. It will still be cold enough ahead of this system for some modest lake enhancement northeast of the lakes, followed by orographic enhancement in the westerly flow behind the system. This system will produce at least some snow in all areas, but amounts will vary considerably based on location. For the Niagara Frontier and Western Southern Tier expect a period of snow between 2 am and 10 am to drop 2-3 inches of snow. The Lower Genesee Valley and western Finger Lakes will not benefit from lake or orographic enhancement, with generally an inch or less of snow late tonight into Sunday morning. The most snow will be east of Lake Ontario where there will be steady snow Sunday with the low Sunday morning, followed by a period of lake effect snow Sunday afternoon and early evening. There will be some light lake effect snow east of Lake Erie, but it will be more significant off Lake Ontario where there is a longer fetch and moisture from Lake Huron. The forecast uses a mesoscale guidance weighted blend of model guidance in order to capture these features. Also, BUFKIT shows the best lift in a favorable temperature range for dendritic snow growth, suggesting it will be a rather fluffy snow with 15:1 ratios or greater.

There's sublimation and compaction since yesterday - the 6.5" we had in NE Buffalo looks more like 5" this afternoon. But I went on Kensington to Main, then up to UB North, then out to Transit on North French, then down to Main. It was consistent 5” to 9” for basically all of that route. Down Transit, it was also about 8-9” until near Eastern Hills Mall, then it went to maybe 15”. The biggest cutoff was at ECC. On the ECC campus near Werle, I measured 18” - but on the north part of ECC near Main, I measured 8”. So it’s pretty clear the band set up from the airport along and above Werle and out to roughly Main and Transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 When was the last 20" event for KBUF? Jan (17.6") & Nov 2014 (16.9") were close. These are the top 24 hour snowfalls. So some multi day events may not be included... not sure exactly how we landed but this event should make the list... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 2 minutes ago, WxWatcher007 said: Early thoughts on the LES potential Tuesday-Thursday? Increasingly unstably southwesterly flow follows the system into midweek, which looks to result in much more unstable profiles and additional gusty and snowy lake effect conditions beyond Tuesday as well. .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... The latest medium range models and ensembles continuing to advertise a true arctic blast Wednesday into Friday. 850 mb temperatures nearing -30C will cover much of the area through this time frame. Certainly record cold is a possibility within this airmass. Daytime high temperatures only in the single digits with overnight lows below zero. Brisk winds during this time frame will certainly produce dangerously cold wind chills for an extended period. Additionally, this airmass will certainly bring the potential for lake effect snow downwind of the lakes, although with an airmass this cold and dry it may limit really significant accumulations. The greater concern may be the potential for significant blowing and drifting with gusty winds and a fine, powdery snow in this frigid airmass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a southtown special for the last decade. Actually that list is 8 years old. There's been quite a few more added to that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Too add to BUFF Here is the Hazardous Weather Outlook 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...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 @SouthBuffaloSteve Is there an updated list of Buffalos largest snowfalls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... ...Severe winter conditons expected during this period... While the exact details on potential lake effect snow accumulations during this period still need to be worked out, predictability remains very high on the outbreak of a significant intrusion of arctic air and potential record cold during the mid to late week period. The polar low making its way down from central Canada will set up a 487 dm circulation at 500 mb centered near Lake Superior Wednesday morning eventually rotating into Quebec Thursday and Friday. The resulting low level thermal trough is shown by nearly all medium range models to have 850 mb temperature down to near -30C during the peak of the outbreak from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning. Record cold is certainly a possibility. Daytime high temperatures only in the single digits with overnight lows below zero. Brisk winds during this time frame will certainly produce very dangerous wind chills for an extended period with extreme winds chills of -20F to -40F. As stated above, the finer details of the lake effect snow impacts should come into better focus as we get closer. While accumulating snow looks likely, a greater concern may be the potential for significant blowing and drifting with gusty winds and a fine, powdery snow in this frigid airmass. Some moderation is expected Friday and especially Saturday as the polar low retreats northward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yea at 850 but surface temps are a bit underwelming according to the NWS.. I have hit those projected lows many times this year.. Maybe NWS trends colder as we get closer.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Latest GFS run shows a strong band of LES on SW flow Weds-Fri. Lake will likely be completely frozen over by Friday. But with those temps and that band it has some serious potential. Especially for the tug region as Ontario doesn't freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 If your ever looking for a place just outside the tug , i would recommend the "tailwater lodge Altmar, tapestry collection by Hilton".. Great food (restaurant on site) and reasonably priced.. 10 min west your in pulaski/I-81 for more food/shopping options, 5-10 miles east and your in the sothern tug.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
