CNY_WX Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 It’s been coming down here for a half an hour at about a 3”/hr rate. The trouble is the wind is blowing it all around so it will be next to impossible to get a true measurement. BTW I had 4.1 inches as of 7 this morning and I think I’m about 5 miles from Freak.

Syrmax Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Somehow, its been snowing for an hour, and we've picked up 1". Fairly conservative measuring location with the wind, so wouldn't surprise me if a bit more fell. Longest "real" lake effect we've had here in quite some time. Usually it's 10-15 minutes and done, other than light spray events. Looks like we're done after this finishes pushing through. Flow looks to set up westerly again east of L.O.

CNY-LES FREAK Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Man look at how GB just lights up on a WNW-NW flow along the whole stretch of the lake and its gonna connect somewhere along Ontario so we'll see as the evening progresses!Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps tonight they go West but I haven't checked tbh.Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 The main arctic cold front is crossing Western and Central NY early this afternoon, supporting a band of snow showers and snow squalls along it that are partially fueled from lake effect bands that the front captured and is spreading inland. Most of the heavier, frontal snow squalls will move southeast of the area by mid afternoon. A very sharp, deep, mid level trough will dive across northern NY and New England tonight, delivering some of the coldest air so far this early winter season. This will continue to support lake effect snow, with migrating bands as winds steadily veer to the northwest in the wake of the cold front. Lake induced equilibrium levels are near their peak now at over 15K feet, then will steadily drop tonight as the deepest cold air aloft moves away and inversion heights lower.

wolfie09 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Regional radars show a band of heavy snow arcing from southern Oswego County to the Tug Hill. A circulation center is noted in radar and satellite imagery entering Jefferson County. This will result in a complex area of heavy snow moving across the eastern Lake Ontario region through early afternoon as mesoscale ascent from the circulation center interacts with lake effect processes. This last burst of heavy snow may produce 3 inch per hour snowfall rates briefly across much of the eastern Lake Ontario region. Following this last burst of snow, boundary layer flow will quickly veer to northwest in the wake of the arctic front. Until then, the Tug Hill region may see another 4-7 inches through mid afternoon. Once the northwest flow becomes established, multiple lake effect snow bands will develop. along much of the south shore of the lake from eastern Niagara/Orleans counties to Oswego County. There will likely be one, somewhat dominant band embedded within this that is forced by a developing upstream Georgian Bay connection. This upstream connection will first develop late this afternoon across Wayne/Cayuga counties, then move westward down the shoreline to Orleans/Monroe counties by late this evening as boundary layer flow continues to veer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a size issue it might because you have a high megapixel camera. I’ve found a sneaky workaround. Take a screenshot of the photo. It significantly reduces its size while minimally reducing the actual resolution. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
