Upstate/Eastern New York- Jan 5-7 Lake Effect Snow Event

Some heavy 2”+ over the north part of the metro heading NE…I can see many areas over a foot with KBUF to Lancaster 2’

We’re at about 16” in the University District, making a run at 2 feet if the band continues to barely move south. I moved to WNY in October 2012 (at the same time Sandy was hitting the east coast). In my time here, I have only lived in 14214, and this is the best storm for the northern part of the city in that almost 10 year span. Really hoping for 2’.

Great to read that you finally got the great band!

Remarkable difference from your 16" and the around 3" UB North got. 

I can't recall a Lake Effect event where the city proper, North to South Buffalo, was the jackpot like this one. Usually your location is just north of the good stuff.

Has anyone else ever seen a storm sliding through PA heading to the coast while still seeing a SW flow lake effect band? I can’t recall ever seeing one.

Agreed this is very strange…especially as Delta pointed out last evening when he mentioned our best setup is a closed low over superior or just a bit north of that. 

You guys are getting that because of what's left of the Low that went over the Upper Great Lakes. SW winds are flowing in from that.

Congrats today! What’s your total? I measured 10.3 so far and still flurrying to occasionally light snow

I was at 16 before the second round that started at about 4. So prob around 18-19. Looks to be picking up a lil, maybe make it to 2’.

Looking forward to 3-5 in Cicero tomorrow

News 5 has NW onondaga in the 6-12 range; don't know enough historically to say if that can translate 10 miles east across i81; we'll see

 

I am looking to see how it verifies low or high. Can't wait @TugHillMatt

 

I love seeing the 6 to 12 inches, but am very cautious. It could translate over to you if the wind is more WNW. Or it could totally miss me even if the winds are too NWly. Lake effect snow is soooo wishy washy because the slightest wind change can lead to a totally different place getting hit. You can see that with today's event around the Buffalo area.

I know why we are I just don’t ever recall seeing this sort of set up that I can remember. It’s not often there’s a low over Superior and another low sliding across PA to the coast at the same time with one producing SW flow lake effect and the other about to produce a snowstorm for Boston. Pretty cool to see even if I only have 1/2” OTG while 13 miles to my north has 20” lol .
