  • BuffaloWeather changed the title to Jan 16-18th Major Synoptic Snowstorm- Observation Thread

Prediction based largely on gut feeling:

- Taint and periphery of dry slot cuts right through Monroe County; monster band stays over BUF/Niagara and up towards Toronto

TOR: 14"

NIA: 21"

BUF: 19"

ROC: 8" (mostly light-moderate snow, just missing the heavy stuff)

SYR: 6" (mostly backside)

BGM: 3" (mostly sleet)

I’ll wait for 0z. NAM is the only model showing the shit show touching Monroe. So I hope we can stay mostly snow. But I feel ya!

Yes, my prediction leans pessimistic (though if I were going full pessimist, I'd say that ROC struggles to even get 4-5" with the taint and dry slot lasting most of the duration after a few initial inches and the backside failing to materialize).

I think ROC could easily get 16"+ if the models showing us getting into the monster band for at least a few hours are accurate.

BUF - 14.7”

IAG - 16.5”

ROC - 13.9”

SYR - 5.2”

BGM - 2.7”

YYZ - 15.1” 

Still think almost all of us ping with sneaky warm mid levels in spots, albeit briefly, holding down totals from going gangbusters but would still be impressive to have over a foot of snow and an inch or 2 of solid sleet. 
 

Think this thing land up about 50 further NW as this thing unfolds and becomes a nowcasting event thus an IAG to YYZ jackpot IMO.

That was a super elevation dependent storm if I’m remember it correctly. Had to be over 2000 feet for any snow.  

I vaguely remember a big storm around that time, 12”+ in early April in early/mid 2000’s.  Track might have been similar too with big negative tilter. Recall being amazed and admittedly annoyed that much snow fell in early April.

I have no idea what you’re thinking of but we didn’t even get an inch in April of 2005

This storm: https://jimsullivanweather.com/2013/02/17/april-2-3-2005-northern-ohio-snowstorm/

This summary is focused on Ohio, which saw up to 22 inches in Ashtabula County, but the highest totals were in Erie and Crawford Counties in Pennsylvania, and Chautauqua and southern Erie Counties in New York, where 2-3 feet totals were fairly common. Erie Airport officially tallied only 14.8" but the highest totals were inland away from the lake.
