Good Wayne county spotters are important with the lack of radar coverage for lake effect events. Glad to have you two.  West of me is a huge hole. I don’t think we have or have ever had one Orleans member. 

Do we have any Niagara Falls (NY or ON)-Lewiston-Youngstown members on here?

I like to check these out as well. They're from the more immediate suburb of Liverpool near Onondaga Lake Parkway. I assess them to see when a snowband from the south might make it's way up here.

Nope. Wish we did. Wish we had some posters from hamilton area for those easterly lake events

haha thats almost me. But Im actually from Caledonia Ontario. I moved from Mississauga to Caledonia a few years back and find I currently live about 10 miles away from those big events in Hamilton. I still get bonus snow from those NE winds during snowstorms but those 10 miles away see 18-24" while I would get 8-14" and everyone else without lake enhancement gets 6-10" 

 

Its certainly not very relevant information but it is a weather board. Those big events your talking about normally happen in Ancaster, Mount Hope/Hamilton Airport. The actual city of Hamilton most people see while driving from Buffalo-Toronto is below the escarpment but lots of suburbs and the airport are on top. The quick elevation helps produce some bigger snows on the top of the escarpment https://en-ca.topographic-map.com/maps/siv3/Hamilton/

Right now it’s a spray of snow off the lake. We need to have this consolidate into a single band. 

I actually like the spray, as I like when more people can get involved. Once you get that single band, it's awesome if you're in it. But, only a select few get to enjoy anything. That's another reason I like lake enhanced snows over pure lake effect. A more broad area can cash in.

You almost in the worst area of Southern Ontario for lake snow. Its good you can get some bonus snow with a North East wind. You ever get any erie action. Suspect that's rare would have to be a ssw wind

Keep this thread focused on the lake effect snow event, post the other stuff in the general thread. RGEM shows 3 feet for wolf

That map looks like 260/270 flow. Probably right as strong single bands tend to get focused down the long Axis of the lake.
