Check out what the Rgem shows for how far the band extends east.

 

Saw that on raadar and satellite this afternoon. Impressive.

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.

Wish it didn’t have that hard cutoff on the north side.

Streamers off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay behind the front.

I wonder if we could get multiple multi-lake streamers over here?

Matt, Can multiple multi-lake streamers  train?

Yes, but usually we just get one main band across Ontario if other lakes are involved.

It is cranking here, 2" in 30 minutes. Have to eventually figure out how to load pics quickly.

Kind of a shame to see that gorgeous single band fade as it slides off the lake. Sigh.

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.

It is nuking!

Gonna measure in about 10 minutes as that's about when this started for real. 

[vortmax]

Already letting up here. Maybe 1.5".

Download the app Imgur, the upload the photo, then save to photos in phone. It automatically resizes to size to fit this forum.

North side of Buffalo should get tail end of this.

[phoenixny]
