Doubt you will be complaining when that same lake stabilizes air suppresses cloud development on warm summer days north of I-90. In fact, I believe ROC is one of the sunniest places in the US during July…thanks to that evil lake that makes for cloudy December and January days.Chris now in Penfieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-12012507321432789312015-01-13T13:24:06.616-05:002015-01-13T13:24:06.616-05:00This has got to be one of few places on earth wher...This has got to be one of few places on earth where barometer can be at 30.8" and the sun isn't out-- in fact it's trying to snow.

Let's say we get the average five significant (6"+) non-lake event snow events. Let's say they are about 10 hours in duration, on average. That is 50 hours of snow during a season worth of winter. So, since winter lasts three months (~12/20 to ~3/20), which is about 90 days. 24 hours x 90 days = 2,160 hours of winter. 50 hours out of 2,160 hours of winter…which is about 2% of the time. Sooooo….why do some get so upset / discouraged / negative about the supposed lack of large snow events, when 98% of the time in a SOLID winter, they do not occur?

Always nice when these sticky wet snowfalls aren't large enough to devastate the power grid, so that everything looks like a postcard and no one has to live in the dark. Official airport number so far is 2.5 inches, with 2-4 inches of fluff on the way. The wind won't be nearly as nasty as last week so the cold will be easier to handle, although it'll still be a tad breezy.<br /><br />That previously strong signal for a storm during the middle of next week got a whole lot murkier this afternoon. Try finding it in the Euro ensemble mean from this afternoon (spoiler alert: you won't be able to). Most members of the equally muddled GFS ensemble depict a system in widely varying locations, so my money is still on some sort of organized system tracking through the lower 48 despite today's changes. What hasn't changed is the relative briefness of our cool-up. We probably won't be heading back into the deep freeze anytime soon, more like average winter chill once the cool-up is over. I think any real cold will wait until the final few days of the month.Mantis Tobogganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104491137465766315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-26831049655287102572015-01-12T16:09:13.860-05:002015-01-12T16:09:13.860-05:00What today is not wintery enough for you.

It is sure nice to get some snow without the wind every once in a while. Quick glance at models 12Z ECMWF and GFS look much different than previous runs with active weather this weekend into early next week. Not nearly as warm as early forecasted either. It is early but maybe next week will be more wintery than previously thought.

Just saying. Anyway here are the latest spotter reports:<br /><br />http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=buf&product=PNS&issuedby=BUF&format=ci&version=1<br /><br />Looks like a general 1-3 inches so far, and with another batch on the way for this afternoon we should see the 2-4 inch outlook verify, although probably closer to the low end for most of us. KROC has received 0.13 inches of liquid equivalent thus far, so estimating based on a 10:1 ratio would bring the current snow total to 1.3 inches. A few inches of lake effect is still on tap for tonight through early tomorrow morning. Our inevitable January "thaw" (more like a cool-up as opposed to a true warm-up) still looks rather transient, probably lasting 5-6 days before a renewed negative EPO builds another ridge in the north Pacific. Still a strong signal for a storm system for the middle of next week, although that signal got a little murkier since yesterday with the Euro ensemble mean now hinting at a Miller B coastal transfer being a distinct possibility (but strictly a possibility, nothing more).Mantis Tobogganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104491137465766315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-31967111114966990152015-01-12T11:13:23.202-05:002015-01-12T11:13:23.202-05:00I agree Jo-Sef.

It provided a nice getaway from all the snow-haters on facebook. But now these comments are just a bunch of seemingly whiny 12 year old's who are desperate for attention. I think I'll be sticking to just reading the main blog posts now, since the only commenter that provides anything remotely close to value now, is CCCC. News 8 should really consider either forcing every user to have a verified/registered account (easy setting they could change), or just disable the blog commenting all together.Ayynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-31524849068229333502015-01-12T10:13:58.258-05:002015-01-12T10:13:58.258-05:00We had a dusting in Avon last night.
