BuffaloWeather Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Look at that band back building as it moves north, if that stays all snow we are in for a record breaker around WNY 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Yep indeedy we have sleet mixed into the snow here north of Syr. Well, it was fun while it lasted. Maybe the sleet will accumulate better than pixie dust. Maybe 1" here? Too little to bother measuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Still all snow here with rates picking up again. 2” hr or so. Guessing around 6” or so here but not going out to measure till morning lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYwhiteout Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I've never seen flakes this size from a synoptic storm. Inch diameter cotton balls. So weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Sleet mixed with snow here. Couldn't even get an hour of heavy synoptic snow. Tennessee and North Carolina can do it....but we get sleet. The curse words I am calling this city right now will remain in my head. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I remember a wet snow where literally they looked like cotton balls. Accumulated like mashed potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of solid 4-5”/hr bursts. Not sustained but when they pick up those flakes are monsters. Felt like someone pegging me with snowballs. Have a few videos up on a bit but I’m eyeballing almost 6” here already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess we hope we go back to lighter returns so we can go back to light snow that doesn't accumulate before the dryslot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bumble Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Has to be 4”/hr here right now. As others have said just massive dendrites in this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I don’t want to jinx things and I know it’s just a matter of time until I change over but right now I’m still mainly icy snow. Correlation coefficient shows the mix just to my south and at least temporarily stalling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
