vortmax Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I don't have a official method, but going to head out and do some spot measurements away from the house. The plow came twice last night, usually for 3" or more and there's about 1"out there, so we could've gotten 6+ overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 My Davis Wx station took a beating as its not recording any data but wind, lol as the anemometer's been overworked these past couple days. Ill probably have to reset her but shes old too, about 10 yrs but the first wireless one that was avail back then. The one thing I also notice during these events, once they pass and the Synoptic moisture gets stripped away, ids the Sun usually shines through the low thin clouds but with the SNG being so close to the ground, almost any moisture trapped underneath the inversion, will fall as pixie dust snow as this happens quite often with a Super Arctic air mass like the one over us now! I also notice all the models, excluding the NAM, as thats the furthest South but still not enough, as they are trying to drive a low pressure into all this snow cover over NYS with a retreating Arctic HP and its not like its a stale air mass, cause its definitely not, so my guess is that this short lived system for Wed rides along the baroclinic zone where the deepest snow-cover lies but I may be wrong but Ive seen it too many times so we'll see. With each subsequent run, the models are ticking South Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Whats the deal, shouldn't we be posting potential maps and what not for the future in the other thread? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 My property is so wide open I don't really have to worry much about drifts, heck it's hard to tell how much snow fell until you walk in it lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-LES FREAK Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Man I'd love a quarter to 1/2 inch of ice to fall between Wednesday and Thursday that would make for an unbelievable base and then more fresh snow on top of that. After that we'd need a serious warm up of 3-6 days in a row to get rid of that concrete for sure.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Just a reminder, this is the storm thread. Every other forum has them, I figured we definitely have enough posters now to create a seperate thread for a particular storm. It definitely worked out, I mean we are on 52 pages. The other thread is for the upcoming events/les/etc... It makes it easier to go back and look at all the bigger events for our region instead of sifting through 60-70 pages of general discussions. https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/51944-upstateeastern-new-york/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Well, that was a fun and fairly long lasting event (at least for the South shore counties). I put 225 miles on the Tundra from about 9am Saturday until noon today, and nearly every single one of those was in 4 Wheel Drive! I got up around 730am today and drove from Gates to Long Pond, then over to Ontario in Wayne County (along the lake the entire way). I then doubled back and drove down through the carnage on the side streets in downtown Rochester and in the park ave area (Cars completely buried). I will concede that the lake response was better than I expected, yet still not quite to Tim's hype level. So maybe we compromise? It was localized though so I'm sure some place from here to Oswego did well last night. Some observations. Directly along the lake conditions were intense with frequent ground based whiteouts, fog, and continually changing intensity of snow as I drove along and through the roll convection. It was pretty awesome and a very fun drive, I highly recommend it. Snow depths peaked about 2 miles in land then dropped again around 5-7 miles inland. Temps along the shore were 8f while just inland quickly dropped to about 3f or colder. Somewhere in Webster seemed to get the most lake effect (for the route I chose) and I would eyeball about 6 inches on top of the main storm amount so they were probably pushing 16-20 on the ground which was impressive. Unfortunately, the lake effect was barely able to make it to my backyard, however I'm happy with just snow in the air and snow covered roads. My storm totals: Saturday Start of event - 5pm - 3 inches Saturday 5pm -12am - 4 inches Sunday 12am - 6am - 5 inches Sunday 6am - 4pm - 1 inch Sunday int Monday 4pm to 12pm - 2 inches ( I was too tired to clear it last night) 15 inches total with 12 on the ground as compaction continues, but a very dense snowpack none the less. And I got 3 inches of lake effect which is 1 more than I expected. Some Snowy Kickball to start off the storm A frigid trip to Bristol in search of POW. It was good but hard work and bone chilling cold Trip along Lake Ontario, visibility was worse than the camera shows Buried cars on the side streets of Rochester The way a Tundra should look! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 5 inches mire since 5pm yesterday. 4 inches Sunday. 13 from storm. 22 inches. Hard to tell from wind. So we got about 6 to 12 from lake. What I expected. The synoptic underperformed a bit. But lake delivered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southbuffalowx Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 So did this storm build a lot of cred for the FV3? Because it didn't waver for days, showing the heaviest snows from Western-Central NY, even when other models trended south for a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I think another test is in order got that model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
