DeltaT13 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It might not be stacking up high but it’s very dense stuff that will make a fantastic base snowpack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it’s a Robert Trent Jones designed course. It is one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 At 5.5” here, rate is solid but as others have noted flake size is still small. 1/2”/hour stuff at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I’d say we are looking at 10:1. Not the 18:1 kuchera was doing. Back end is usually better for south lake communities. Trying to stay positive but it’s getting difficult. 13” is starting to look like a reach, let alone the 20-30” peeps were throwing around just a few hrs ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 11.8:1 then, and I'd expect same at midnight. There's enough wind to possibly skew a measurement or what's in the gauge though. We'll see. I'm guessing we'll be near 5" at midnight.

Only thing that will generate big numbers is meso banding, I don’t see that actually developing quite yet. We could be looking at a 12:1 ratio for the entire event. ROC may be saved by Lake Ontario ultimately...and it seems they are a couple inches ahead of us already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Although the storm system responsible is tracking well to the south of the Great Lakes, northeast winds off Lake Ontario are picking up extra moisture resulting in higher snowfall totals. Total snowfall amounts are likely to vary considerably across the region. As of 8 pm, 41 cm was measured in Ancaster. This is from environment Canada this is legit.

rochesterdave Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It’s gonna take a strong deformation band and some help from the lake for Rochester to hit the totals tossed around today. It can definitely still happen . The lake band is still oriented NE-SW or more. Picking up again. Let’s hope this lasts a few hrs. If I was still drinking I’d be about 15 deep so far. It’s enjoyable either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Low is still in Kentucky fellas. Remember this system slowed down buy about 6 to 12 hours cause it's deeper. Look at Cleveland radar some monster deformation banding going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Ottawa is experiencing its coldest heavy snowstorm since 1895. Snow and 6 below there currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 So...we go from negative digits Monday to a rainstorm on Wednesday. This continues this winter's theme of snow getting water logged and nasty right after it has fallen. I know it is a few days away...but right now models are in general agreement of rain all along the eastern seaboard. Stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive down that way right now. Much better flake size in just the last 10 minutes here too as the BUF radar is starting to light up now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the csi starts it'll only take 6-7 hrs of 2-3"/hr and we'll be good! if flake size doesn't improve totals won't be realized, oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Yeah this is looking really good for WNY, everyone is easily getting 10-15". @WesterlyWx What's your midnight measurement, has to be close to 10"?

Also have a pool and the snow is half way up it already. Storm is over performing here what I expected so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
