smokinandjokin Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I'm in Amherst now and it has been coming down pretty good for about an hour...Not much seems to be accumulating though...A dusting on the grass, cars are covered, but roads seem bare.

stuckincincy Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 NOAA report: Lake Effect Snow Warning URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY 236 PM EDT THU OCT 12 2006 ...HISTORIC SNOWFALL MAY BE IN STORE OVERNIGHT... .A WESTERLY FLOW OF UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR CIRCULATING AROUND A VERY INTENSE STORM UP OVER LAKE SUPERIOR WILL CONTINUE TO POUR INTO WESTERN NEW YORK TONIGHT. THIS COLD AIR CROSSING THE 60 DEGREE WATERS OF LAKE ERIE WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE BANDS OF INTENSE LAKE EFFECT PRECIPITATION. THIS PRECIPITATION MAY INITIALLY BE MIXED RAIN HAIL AND WET SNOW INTO EARLY THIS EVENING...BUT AS THE CORE OF THE COLDEST AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA LATER THIS EVENING...MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO WET SNOW. THIS WILL COINCIDE WITH A GRADUAL BACKING OF THE WINDS TO A MORE SOUTHWEST DIRECTION...WHICH WOULD PUSH THE BANDS NORTH TO BUFFALO'S NORTHERN SUBURBS SUCH AS TONAWANDA AND AMHERST AND NORTHWARD INTO NIAGARA COUNTY. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY EDGE INTO WESTERN ORLEANS AND NORTHWEST GENESEE COUNTIES AS WELL. MOST OF THIS AREA COULD EASILY SEE 1 TO 3 INCHES OF WET SNOW WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS OF 6 INCHES OR MORE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION...WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF HIGHER AMOUNTS OVER AREAS AWAY FROM THE WARMING INFLUENCE OF THE LAKE...SUCH AS LOCKPORT OR CLARENCE. HEAVY SNOW IN THE BUFFALO METRO AREA THIS EARLY IS UNPRECEDENTED...AND UNIQUE CONDITIONS MUST EXIST. THERE STILL IS PLENTY OF DOUBT AS TO ANY SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION AS THE GROUND AND LAKE ARE VERY WARM...BUT THE HEAVIEST ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WHICH WOULD TEND TO MINIMIZE MELTING. IN ADDITION...MOST TREES ARE STILL IN FULL LEAVE SO EVEN A FEW INCHES OF WET SNOW MAY CAUSE TREE DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE POWER OUTAGES. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE QUICKLY FRIDAY MORNING AS THE LAKE EFFECT ACTIVITY MOVES EVEN FURTHER NORTH AND BECOMES MAINLY RAIN ONCE AGAIN.

Chef Jim Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I was going to say merge this into the Sign of the Apocolypse thread. But then again snow in Buffalo the second week in October is only a sign that winter's a bit late this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
