A Little Snow for All Today & Early Tonight

Written by John DiPasquale:

A little snow this afternoon & evening for all, but no big snows in the near future are expected.  Temperatures will slowly moderate this weekend with highs in the upper teens to mid 20s, & just a little lake snow at times possible later Saturday through very early Sunday.  Much of Sunday looks good, & then a quick shot of snow late Sunday night into Monday morning ahead of warm front that MAY make for a slick Monday morning ride.  It looks like 30s Monday, 40s Tuesday & POSSIBLY...POSSIBLY 50s Wednesday...We'll see if storm strengthens as much as currently advertised & hooks as far as west too by current model runs...It's still several days out.  Either way, it will turn much colder thereafter to round out next week with lots of wind & at least some lake snow.  Stay tuned.  It looks like a wild week next week!

  1. Wow, 50's next week. Goodbye snow. We will end January well below normal in snow. Heading for another dismal snow year.

    1. "POSSIBLY...POSSIBLY 50s Wednesday"

      Possibly 50s, for one measly day. IF the current model guidance holds. And this statement had to have caught your eye:

      "Either way, it will turn much colder thereafter to round out next week with lots of wind & at least some lake snow. Stay tuned. It looks like a wild week next week!"

  3. All data still points to deep deep winter. Winter conditions are expected to last well into April. The source of the cool lake breeze this June will be the massive iceberg that still hasn't melted in Lake Ontario. Southern stream is going to become much more active first week of February.. causing storms to fling themselves all over the place East of the Mississippi.

  4. All of you should slap in the Aerosmith song "Dream On". Unreal! Data points to an early spring with temperatures in the 40s and yes 50s midweek. Look, do not say just because this last 4 days of cold weather this winter is different from last years. The average high temperature for the month was higher than the norm. It is going to be the same way for snow fall. Get used too it and go get tanning lotion for thre early spring. Sorry snow mongers!

  6. STILL SNOWING IN HAMLIN. It has only stopped snowing for a few hours here and there THE WHOLE WEEK in Hamlin. It maybe an exception and not the rule but still VERY WINTERY FOR SOME. If next weeks storm "BOMBS OUT" like the 12Z GFS has it we will has some VERY SERIOUS WINDS with temps dropping like a rock. Arctic air will AGAIN pour south. WHO KNOWS who will get the snow next week and beyond. IT WILL SNOW I have no doubt of that. We will see either way VERY WINTERY for someone if not all, later next week and BEYOND. STAY POSITIVE. I guess it is easier for me to say that living here where it has already snowed so much.

  7. That climate prediction sites you post Anon are a joke. Funny how everyone on here says it is hard to predict 3 days out but you put 6-10 and 8-10 prediction sites on here ha ha. Look you know what I meant before below average snow fall totals this year by far the same as last winter. The winter is DONE move on and get your sun glasses unpacked or maybe your winter rose regular glasses should be packed up.I chose to look at many factors and the one staring me right in the eye the forecast fdor next week. Spring temperatures and no snow in the next 10 days!

    1. The worst that would happen from any ice we get is a period of slick driving conditions, before we warm above freezing and the ice melts. Not that big of a deal, which is probably why no one local has been talking about it.

  9. I am looking forward to the warm-up to be honest. This is too cold. I love snow but cannot stand this frigid air. PLus when you have this cold air there are no storms around just very localized lake effect. BORING!!!!!!

    1. Are you for real right now? It's in the low 20s regionwide, that is most decidedly un-springlike. Does nitrogen have to freeze for it to be winter in your eyes? Though now I can see how you sustain that absurd early spring argument...by having ridiculously low standards for what spring is.

      Delete
  13. I'm begining to think this winter will go down as ho hum, nothing special. No it's not spring, but it looks like up and down bland weather, with no big storms, and little lake effect. I hope I'm wrong, but the clock is ticking.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Have you look at the forecast for next week in terms of temperatures? Springlike yes! Also not one storm in sight bc if there was some would be posting about that potential for a big storm. Lets all face the fact that we are going to have an early spring and we will have less snowfall than last winter. Mark it down! It is also funny how some come on here and make predictions that are not even close and yet disappear. Weatherguy is one. David said the other day that the strong band will shift south and that never happened. And best of all Andrew. Where has he been lately since I think you can check, he made a prediction for almost double digit snowfall last night? He is always right on ha ha. Where has he been lately? But I am a troll?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. You're one to talk about disappearing, Mr. Anonymous. I know I'm anonymous too, deal with it. I will quote you from earlier:

      "Another beautiful spring day"

      We are in the low 20s Fahrenheit today. How is that springlike? Also there's this tidbit from the NWS:

      "BOTH 00Z GFS AND ECMWF HAVE THE COLD AIR BACK IN PLACE FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. ALTHOUGH STILL VERY EARLY THE PATTERN WOULD AGAIN BECOME FAVORABLE FOR SOME SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO RETURN ACROSS THE LAKES. WAY TOO EARLY TO PIN DOWN THE ORIENTATION OF THE LAKE EFFECT BUT 850MB TEMPS...LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY AND LAKE CAPES LOOK TO BE COMPARABLE TO THE EXTENDED LAKE EFFECT EPISODE WE SAW LAST WEEK."

      Based on what I saw on the models this would arrive on a stronger and wetter cyclonic flow, rather than just a slow and dry puff like what we saw this week. To me, this says better lake effect chances over a broader area INCLUDING metro Rochester. This is what the models show, I can't claim to know that this will happen.

      As for the people you mentioned, I'm assuming they're young people. Combine that with the fact that it's a weekend and it's easy to see where they might have gone...out, to live their lives like normal young people.

      And as for you...the reason we see you as a troll is because you seem to exist only to tick everyone off. Why do we have this idea? Because you're always claiming to "know" that "spring is here" without ever citing any supporting evidence. The forecast for a few days of warmth next week is not supporting evidence, FYI. Models, ensembles, teleconnection indices, Wheeler phase plot...THOSE are supporting evidence. And such evidence (for the most part) indicates that winter not even close to over, yet you keep insisting it is, again with no supporting evidence whatsoever. In the end (i.e. by the final week in February) you may end up being right about an early spring, in the same way a broken analog clock is right twice a day, but without any supporting evidence it's no better than hitting a bullseye in a dark room.

      In the meantime, enjoy having a few days of mild air in the forecast. They'll be gone before you know it...

    1. Today marks the first time since Monday that we've gotten out of the teens. That didn't happen last season.
      We've been averaging colder than normal for the past two weeks. That didn't happen last season.
      There are signs that another extended wintry period is on our doorstep. That didn't happen last season.

      But please, do continue to delude yourself further for my amusement.

  16. Well again people get defensive when they know someone is right so I will take your rant as a compliment. Lake effect snow again and this time you claim the Rochester metro could get in on it? Really? First of all, if it happens, more than likely it will not impact any where other than it did before. So Hamlin and the 25 other people who live in those areas will again be happy. But thanks for giving us all hope with lake effect snow.

    1. "when they know someone is right"

      And THERE is your biggest problem, right there in a nutshell. Claiming to know that which is impossible to know, declaring victory when the game hasn't even started yet. Unsurprisingly without any supporting evidence yet again, another one of your problems. And I guess you missed the part that said "This is what the models show, I can't claim to know that this will happen." And I guess you also missed the part that said:

      "WAY TOO EARLY TO PIN DOWN THE ORIENTATION OF THE LAKE EFFECT"

      Yes, the Rochester metro COULD get in on it, POSSIBLY. It's an early enough juncture that basically everyone is still in the game. But I guess it's not okay to speculate unless such speculation agrees with your opinion huh?

      You really need some got danged humility I tell ya whut.

  17. I am not going to get to involved in this bickering match about winter and spring. I would like to correct anonymous though. There is more like 30 people in Hamlin, not 26. You are correct about one thing though, we are all very happy and it will snow more. ACTUALLY IT IS SNOWING AS WE SPEAK. LOOKS VERY SNOWY FOR OUR 30 RESIDENTS. I did laugh at that 26 people comment.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I will say that late next week and next weekends forecast has got me excited again. It looks to be VERY SNOWY, again. I would watch Friday night into Saturday. That secondary trough swinging through could excite the lakes. I will say with confidence. VERY SNOWY for somebody late next week and beyond!!!!! Also how quick will the cold front swing through? Where does that secondary storm form on that cold front. Look at 12Z GFS could get interesting next week, very exciting for the 30 of us on the west side of town.

  19. Wow Anonymous - you should work for Letterman - that was very original. By the way, at least my mother walks upright and only has female genitalia.

  20. Yikes people it's just weather O___o

    I'm liking the lake effect potential for late next week...more moisture in the boundary layer and stronger winds, MAYBE the lake shore won't be the only winner this time. Far too early to tell exactly where any lake effect will set up (as always), either way it looks like an active time of it next week.

    On a statistical note, we are currently 15.4 inches ahead of last season's snowfall by this date, and only 26.2 away from passing last season with plenty of winter still to go. The next cold intrusion doesn't look as pronounced as this past one, we'll see exactly what that leads to.

  21. Ha ha Hamlin see you have a sense of humor. I have data just look out the window and current statistics. Oh and forecast where it will be high 40s and 50s on Wednesday and Thursday. Mike drawers? Speaking of drawers rumor is your wife's drawers are mighty hugezzzzz. Is that true and does data support that?

  22. Check out this satellite shot of the very impressive storm near Iceland:

    http://i.imgur.com/4adeo9K.jpg

    I believe it had a minimum central pressure around 924 mb at its peak (about what one would find in a Category 4 hurricane). Now imagine a storm of that magnitude riding up along the east coast. That would make for some frightening times in these parts.

  23. Hey anon Stacey tonight on the 6 news high in the 50s Thursday. Stop reading old forecasts on this site. You are better than that I think? Just say spring like temperatures and you will be ok.

    1. That's a big change from earlier and doesn't agree with any other forecast I've seen. So either you're lying through your teeth or I must respectfully disagree with Stacey, because the timing of the cold front (as of now) appears to be later Wednesday and not Thursday. Every other forecast represents this idea.

  24. Let me see anon 7:24 13wham and 10nbc 50s both days and 40s Tuesday since you want data. Why can't you just embrace spring because it is coming and will be here. So any more inaccurate data you be posting or are you going to just say telling you what the models arte saying I can not guarantee it is accurate. Again my spring stuff is based on forecasts and just looking outside each day. Yes accurate and scientific enough for me. Just like I said 25 other people in Hamlin pretty close to that as verified by Hamlin Plower.

  27. It also snowed a lot in Kendal this past week, so we should add there 15 residents to our 30 giving a total of 45 people enjoying the winter, better than nobody.

    BTW, it is more difficult to plow Hamlin roads seeing as how our horses tire out faster when the snow is so deep.

  28. I used to enjoy coming on here and reading what everyone thinks is gonna happen. I even amazed a few friends when I told them "my" well actually your forcasts, but this bickering about early spring and talking about each others mothers and crap...it gets old. I say we get back to talking about weather...if it gets cold is it going to be in the single digits again...I sure as hell hope not...I dont mind 20s, but single digits and zeros are way too cold for me

  31. It looks like some BIG lake effect could hit areas East of both lakes Wednesday through the weekend on a prevailing West wind. This would leave Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse as spectators again but it will be interesting to see how much they get. They could be measuring in feet again.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Looks all quiet on the blog must be nothing on the horizon in the way of storms. Do see Macedon has weighed in and already declaring where the LES may be going?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Any lake effect that develops late next week is currently being forecasted to INITIALLY occur on a westerly flow, before the wind veers more northwesterly later on.

    http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=BUF&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off

    "EARLY INDICATIONS FROM BOTH THE GFS/ECMWF SUGGEST THAT THE LAKE EFFECT ACTIVITY MAY DEVELOP IN A WESTERLY FLOW REGIME LATER WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY...THEN GRADUALLY INTENSIFY OVER TIME AS AN INITIALLY DRY AIRMASS MOISTENS IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING SECONDARY SURFACE TROUGH. BOTH GUIDANCE PACKAGES ARE THEN IN ROUGH AGREEMENT ON THIS TROUGH PUSHING THROUGH THE REGION SOMETIME BETWEEN THURSDAY NIGHT AND THE FIRST PART OF FRIDAY...WITH THE PREVAILING LOW LEVEL FLOW GOING MORE NORTHWESTERLY FOLLOWING ITS PASSAGE."

    Since this appears to be a shorter duration potential than this past event, I doubt anyone will see the kind of totals that occurred last week.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Nothing big coming except warm temperatures with that early spring next week. No big storms on the horizon and the lake effect will be minimal at best. We are heading as I think I have stated to an early spring with winter snow totals around the same as last year. It is hard to deny this eventhough yesterday anon tried to dispute the temps I said and called me a liar. Have not heard him apologize for that?

  35. I have to be honest I did hear that March and April are going to warm with little snow. I heard this on the radio but I am not sure of the source. They said february will be up and down with again, not alot of snow. Again, I do not know the source so take it with a grain of salt. I hope it is not true because we will end up the year with mess snowfall than last. ONly 30" so far whihc is about 20" below normal. We are also 1.6" below normal in rainfall.

    Replies
    1. Any forecast that tries to predict one month from now shouldn't be taken seriously, regardless of the source. March/April may end up warmer, but that can't be reliably predicted from this range. I'd wager that this radio source used the CFSv2 as the basis for their thinking, since it shows a warmer March/April. That model tried to give us a cold December from a month out, proof enough that it can't be taken with more than a grain of salt. As for February, the last run of the Euro weekly has a cold first half followed by a more seasonable second half. It's definitely worth noting that the Euro weekly hasn't performed very well this season. Three weeks ago it actually pegged this past week with above normal temperatures, and we all saw how that panned out.

      We shall see what transpires. One can only hope the February/March period decides to deliver on snow.

    2. Interesting that accuweather long range has 11 inches of snow falling on February 4th. Now I'm not putting any stock in that, but where is that coming from?

      Delete
    3. Accuweather's local forecasts are computer generated based on the output from the GFS model which, like every operational model has its difficulty in the longer range. This is only true for the first 15 days of the forecast, the last 10 days are probably based around the output from the Euro weekly, but I don't know that for sure.

  36. The end of next week into following week will be snowy for some. Lake effect and clippers are NOT A JOKE for all locations. Everyone is waiting for the BIG STORM to happen. I am happy with LES and clippers.

    Anonymous, I have put the notice out to our 30 residents this morning, EXPECT SNOW END OF NEXT WEEK AND INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEK, ALSO COLDER THAN AVERAGE TEMPS AFTER THIS WEDNESDAY.

  37. NWS new forecast doesn't look too bad, considering the time of year. 50+ Tues and Wed., colder Thurs. thru Sat., then above freezing again by next Sunday. Could be a lot worse.

  38. Hamlin thank you for alerting those other 30 besides yourself. You guys will be only people getting any snow. The rest of us will be enjoying that early spring. Really why are people so angry because they are not going to get any big snow storms the rest of the winter? They should have got use to that last winter. It is over and time is running out. February is upon us and no matter how much the snow mongers want to think the big one is coming, it is not. The models show nothing in the next 10 to 14 days. March by all accounts and weather experts think will be much warmer than normal. April never delivers a big one so major snow stroms are history move on and enjoy the early spring. Get the patio furniture out and grill. Have a steak, relax, you can not prevent the inevitable this winter will be less snow than last. Hop on the spring band wagon with me and let Hamlin and his 30 residents enjoy the lake effect because that will be coming next. We will hear about the possibility of signifigant lake effect snow and try to get all excited when really only 31 people will be impacted.This will allow more OT for Hamlin and of course that enjoyment of snow he speaks about. Heck Ginger has woke up and even sold her snowmobiles (smart Ginger)

    2. I don't even feel bad about selling that snowmobile. I look out my window and only see a thin layer on the ground which will be gone in a couple of days. Sure we will get colder, but I do not sit in a lake effect area. Time is running out for that big snowstorm. IF we ever get another one this season, I have some nice commercial grade snow tubes to enjoy now. At least with those I am not wasting thousands of dollars on to just sit there, doesn't make me feel as stressed!

  40. Looks like another high wind event to me on Tuesday/Wednesday. The next cold shot doesn't look nearly as cold as the last one thankfully. It's still going to be cold.. just not as intense. Let's watch that clipper for next weekend.. and I think the period between February 5th - 10th might be pretty active.

    IF we don't get any blocking I think late February into March could be pretty warm. If it isn't going to snow that doesn't bother me at all.

  48. Let's take care to not turn this into a discussion about politics. The weather might be boring right now but that's no excuse to stray too far off topic.

    The second week of February looks like it may have more storm potential than what we've seen lately.

  49. Please do not take offense to whoever said the second half of February looks stormy. When we were in December I heard the 1st half of January looks stormy. It never happend. Then I heard that the 2nd half of January looks to get stormy. It never happend. A few weeks ago I heard that it looks to get stormy at the end of January into February. It still has not happen. Now I hear that the second half of February looks to get stormy. Give it up. We are in a none stormy pattern this winter and it will not change until spring comes and then it will be rain.

    1. I said 2nd week of February. I don't take offense because I have no control over it. If I'm wrong... I'm wrong.

  50. You are right and that was not even troll anon. They keep syaing/hoping it will get stormy and it never happens. Hello 60s on Wednesday. Get ready for the early spring and then you can enjoy the outdoors. No stroms in sight any month.

  51. What happened to all that potential "Big" lake effect talk for the end of the week? I do not see it you are all fighting the coming spring.

    1. The National Weather Service is still talking about it.. though I suspect it will be for East of here.

      "AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANOTHER
      ROUND OF POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOWS DOWNWIND OF THE
      LAKES."

      You have single handedly ruined this blog btw.

  52. The blog can be saved if everyone stops responding to the spring comments and just sticks with discussing real weather. If someone is trying to stir up trouble just ignore them please, I used to enjoy reading the blog.

  53. Ray is right on the money. Stop feeding the trolls! Sadly this blog has become a disaster.

    Suggestion to Scott, block anonymous posters and/or publish IP address of each post.

  54. This winter just has been extremely disappointing for us winter lovers in terms of snow for all. Lake effect has been good to some but not the majority. I hate the cold weather particularly with no storms. It just kind of stinks because there does not look like potential for any event the next 2 weeks. But what can you do it is just disappointing because most felt we would have at least a few bigger synoptic snow storms this year. Looks like it may end up like last winter in terms of snow storms.

  55. Agreed Ray and Andy. It's hard to believe people are this incompetent when it comes to dealing with a troll. I still read the blog but it's more out of habit than anything else and it's much more discouraging than the weather has been. I hope the people who have been responding to him will figure it out sooner or later. I've got my fingers crossed for some LES in the near future.
