A Week of Nothing

For this post, we’ve got a rather dull title. I’d use the word tranquil, but I feel it is now an overused word .

For this week you can expect off and on flurries. I hate temperatures so I won’t even get into them, although lows should be scattered all across the board. If you have clouds, you’ll be fine. If not, you’’ll be sorry.

The next storm we’re looking at is for next Monday into Tuesday. While it’s waaay to far away to be getting into any sort of details, I’m expecting this one to be snow. If you’re a model hunter, you’ll think that this will be a south-runner. Well, any analytical folk will know that the models have had a terrible south bias this winter.

That’s all for now…

Frostbite & Hot Water…

The clipper is ready to swing into CNY here anytime. The front as of last check was between Syracuse and Rochester, and temperatures are dropping behind it.

Once we get the front through, you can expect some limited lake effect off the southeast portion of the lake, mainly in Oswego county. In that band, expect a general 2-5”.

Storm After Storm, Then Another Storm

I’m sure many of you have noticed that us here in CNY have gone into an active weather pattern for this past week, and it looks to continue.

So far we’re onto round #3, which is going to kick off tomorrow. I won’t go out and make any sort of a forecast right now, but I see heavy snowfall possible. Unlike this last storm, it will follow the normal rule of the farther north you go, the heavier it will be, at least for the main CNY region.

After the storm, lake effect is possible. As of right now, I haven’t looked at a single model run to see any wind profiles or anything, so I’m going to have to hold off on that for now.

Now for a look back on Friday’s storm. It did snow quite heavily for some time, impacting many people’s travel plans. Oddly, not that much snow fell. A total of 9″ fell here, which is actually mediocre for a storm.

I’ll have a snowfall forecast posted later this evening…
