Glad I was able to go skiing last night. Season might be over. 
 

Agree. Just finished my annual three day trip at whiteface and conditions were pretty good but hanging on by a thread. Hard to really recover from numerous rain events over the next couple weeks.  I got my fill. Im out. Haha.

I've been out 4 times so far, was hoping for 1-2 more. Need a decently sized storm to get the slopes looking good after the next 10 days of warmth/rain and refreeze. Slopes are going to be pure ice for awhile.

This is almost all sleet. But that heavy snow just over the lake is beautiful. Lolimage.thumb.png.1e10b35d5ed9b43d9da6178fc982ea08.png

@Thinksnow18 Talking to your favorite guy on facebook today. From Don Paul.

A few of his thoughts

"IMO, overdone. Sleet should dominate over freezing rain in most of WNY during transition to all snow after midnight, from NW to SE. I don't think the subfreezing layer gets shallow enough for prolonged freezing rain on the Niagara Frontier...maybe a few hours, but I think the GFS is somewhat too lengthy with the ZR. Very tight gradient between mod-hvy snow accum in northern Niag County and lighter amts to the S & SE. Poor model agreement at this time."

HOWEVER ( with my tail between my legs), several 18z hi res models now move the front thru Buf a little faster and, with warm air aloft, now favor a somewhat lengthier period of sleet & frz rain ahead of snow. Not as much as that GFS run, but potentially significant in the evening.

Long Range GEFS shows the battle zone too. EPS/GEFS showing at least 2 weeks straight of overrunning potential with plenty of cold air close by. New England posters/mets are really high on the potential. Some of them are posting analogs for some of the best marches in history.

it has a feb 2015 look to it. That feb was heavily dominated by the pacific with a piss poor atlantic and arctic.

That was Buffalos 3rd snowiest February. That was the month that gave Boston all those storms. I think we all did well in that month. Just coming a little later in the winter season.

Gives me 3-4” verbatim while 30 miles to my north IAG sees 12” plus. Gonna be a crazy cut off somewhere. I’d feel a lot better if I was ThinkSnow18. I could see him getting 6-8” while I see 2” of snow and an inch of sleet. 

Not to mention this, all models now show over 1/2" of FZ for Erie county.

Looks like a FZ sounding?

No, the FRAM maps. They are the best for freezing rain accrual. They take into consideration precip rate, wind speed, and wet bulb temp. While the ones on pivotal are just a straight how much qpf falls as zr, which won’t all accrual and will be less.

I've never heard of those maps. Its been forever since a good ice storm around here.
