Hey, you never know with lake effect. They don't get it as much over there, so they're probably excited. We can get the same way in these parts during lake events.

Flake size is actual good here near the Lake, I'd say dime/nickel. Ripping outside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim123 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 That does suck. Tiny needle snow. Nothing like silver dollars coming down off a lake band when it's dead calm you can actually hear them land. Usually happens in lake enhanced snow in rochester 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average was around 13 inches. Definitely the best event for me, synoptic or lake effect, since 2014. No way. How do you forget March 2017? One of the best Synoptic/Lake Enhanced combos I’ve ever lived through. Had 27.1” in Amherst at the time. KBUF finished with 20”. This was a great storm no doubt but that one takes the cake over this one hands down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Roc needs a radar site of there own. Nothing on radar but snowing in roc. Even in synoptic snowstorms it sucks from buffalo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortmax Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Still ripping here. Didn't officially measure, but we have to be approaching 2' now. Been snowing 1/2" to 1"/hr all day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub_Zero Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 We ended up with 10.5” here in Ottawa. The temperature never made it above -2f during the event. Coldest snowstorm I’ve ever experienced! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinksnow18 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 BW how is the upcoming weekend looking for LES chances? The GOOFUS shows a clipper around Sunday that would clearly bring SW winds for a good 12 hours beforehand...lake is down to 33 but a total freeze is not going to happen...might get to 40% but alot of slush ice which is still good enough for LES. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 A bit OT but if you can see it, the Super Bloody Tom Brady Wolf Moon eclipse has started. Go outside and Despair of the Lamentations to come...;) visible here thru low lake effect clouds.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochesterdave Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Some moisture is working SW over the Lake. Plumes are firing up as of 3am. Could make for a very wintry morning from Orleans to the Tug. 1/4 mile vis at my place. Been snowing pretty good since 3pm yesterday, but only added another 4”. Good call on Tim’s part though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinksnow18 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I've noticed the last few runs on the GFS have had a difficult time with the cold air after about 5 or 6 days, the models want to shove all the Clippers right over us or to the north of us which seems odd for the pattern were in. In fact if the 06z model was to be believed or is sniffing something out then a huge ice storm would be on tap in the long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Pretty much the only area that's guaranteed to see substantial snowfall are the higher elevations and especially the TUG but this for the next 5 days so who knows where we go from there. The pattern is still evolving and hasn't locked in yet but it should be but until then the transition will be one with many chances of either synoptic or LE so ill take it, except for the 24 hrs from 18Z Wed-18Z Thurs, other than that I think we're good!

CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 AS NIck said, OSUmet said the SSW was effective so I'd imagine its still propagating down to the troposphere so I'd expect high latitude blocking real soon but until the Gov't shutdown end's we can't check, but I think the Australian Weather Dept has some in depth MJO and Teleconnection so I'll be checking on it that today so ill let you all know if I find it.

CNY-LES FREAK Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 This storm hasn't ended here yet! Still 1/4 mile visibility and mod snow!Same here, we've been in some type of band on a NNW wind flow which doesn't happen too often but when it does it can drop some decent snow. It's been affecting the area all night but still haven't gone out and I won't till later. I'll grad some pics out front, in a bit, but man theres a lot!Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 That's a 4.5ft drift right there, crazy and it's still coming down nicely but not as heavy as you Vort and good for you for getting hammered!Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
