Welp, off I go up 390 to blast through the band. It’ll be my 15 mins of fun tonight.  It definitely looks juicy albeit razor thin. I’m hoping to drive back south with it for a bit and hang in the meat of it. 

Some video would be cool delta.

I dunno, from experiencing this lake effect stuff and east coast blizzards, I'll take a blizzard over this 10 mile wide lake effect band stuff lol. I know that is going to make a few posters roll over in their grave.

I mean sure, you get these insane rates, but it's so localized. Then like what happened with @TugHillMatt one day of sun and temp neat 40 and you lose 10 inch snow pack to 2". Stuff just sublimates and melts with no mercy. Atleast with blizzards there is some man sweat in there instead of this Co2 driven stuff lol

Yea lake effect has some solid rates, but the 20 mile band that only gets some people while everyone else smokes exhaust just is annoying. Synoptic snows can have very good rates too. Heck the snowstorm that hit VA last Monday had 5"/hr snows in it. 

Hah! You're currently experiencing the strong emotions that come from being on the sidelines of a lake effect band. Melt-inducing, isn't it? ;)

To each their own. For me its all about the snow falling and crazy rates. Inside of a LES band you'll never experience that in a synoptic storm. We had rates of 6-8" per back in 2014 peak stuff, off Ontario in the strongest bands 10-12" per hour has been recorded. Good luck finding that in synoptic. The worst synoptic storm I've been doesn't even compare to a marginal LES event. I've seen some crazy storms hiking in various mountain ranges and the middle of a crazy LES band is unmatched. Going outside and seeing snow on the ground just doesn't do it for me. I need this

 

Impressive video for the snow rates, but the guy shooting it sucks as a videographer. Hold the damn camera still for a bit and let people actually process the scene. All he did was keep turning circles, which was very annoying.

The fat Part of the inland band may keep us in SN+ a bit longer from Lysander to Brewerton area. Glad it didn't get hung up and bone us.

I was just about to say that. It may have lost some intensity, but it is still dumping at a couple inches per hour AND the band is fanning out a bit more.
