North American Weather (U.S.A & Canada)

Another snowfall warning - predominantly a foothills affair.

This is maybe the 5th warning in the past few weeks. Each time the snow totals have been getting a bit closer to the forecast. 

10-20 cm’s forecast this time...  

[Dorsetbred]

Your are doing really well so far this season. As predicted by the various forecasts it looks like you are in for a winter of lots of snow! Lucky you!

Indeed back to back to back snowfall Warnings. Though it hasn’t delivered much on the snowfall totals, it’s certainly seasonal

Looking fairly nippy in Calgary overnight with -20°C

[Coopsy]

Currently minus 23 at 10am. Was a cold night with temps around minus 28 but wind chill in the minus 30’s.

It looks like it’s on the turn from here on in with temps forecast to be close to freezing during the day and night time temps a ‘balmy’ minus 9 by the weekend lol

Some relatively early snow today from where my daughter lived in Indiana though they did have some last year at Halloween.

Thursday to Sunday snowfall potential for the Buffalo NY region may be as great as 4 to 7 feet (let's say 1-2 meters) as a perfect cold setup combined with 13 C Lake Erie water temperatures creates extreme potential.

The Browns play the Bills in Buffalo on Sunday hope they can keep the pitch clear!!

The heaviest snow is expected late this evening through Friday night when snowfall rates could exceed 3 inches per hour. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph with produce patchy blowing snow.

* WHERE...Northern Erie and Genesee counties.

* WHEN...From 7 PM this evening to 1 PM EST Sunday.

* IMPACTS...Travel will be very difficult to impossible. The hazardous conditions will impact the Friday morning and evening commute. The heavy snow could also bring down some tree limbs and cause scattered power outages.

Just posted this in the specific thread for this event but pertinent for this thread also. 

The lake effect snow has been marching up Lake Eerie the last few hours and will be hitting mainly south of buffalo in the next few hours. 

https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/buffalo/14202/weather-radar/349726

It won’t be on the scale of ‘Snowvember’ - a huge snow event exactly 8 years ago today. Then a band hit just south of buffalo for round 1(about 3 ft) , moved north and then moved back south for round 2. (For about another 3ft) - some areas reached 7 ft of snow!

This time it’ll only be mainly round 1 and a weakened round 2 - still enough for 3-4 ft. But it will move north and then South again but with little impact towards the end.

I’d say 3.5ft-4.5ft for prime areas just south of Buffalo maybe between Hamburg and Angola if I had to guess. (Would anyone like to stick their neck out and say 5ft will be reached?) 

Its due to start in southlands in next few hours through Friday. Then Buffalo downtown Friday through Saturday. Moving north and then moving south with less snow by Sunday morning. 

Sunday for the Bills game would likely have had little snow, but the logistics of hosting the game after having had up to 4 ft of snow means it’s been moved to Detroit. 

Also there’s a good chance of thundersnow and rates of up to 5 inches per hour in the heaviest falls. Quite an experience.

As you say "IF", VPN seems to be the best way to be able to get it.

New York State snowfall record for 24hours is broken at Orchard Park, which was previously 50”, the latest snowmageddon has managed 59”.

Historic North American lake effect snow, and anything wintry for us?

Upstate New York saw historic snowfall due to the annual Lake Effect snowfalls. Buffalo, by Lake Erie and Jefferson County, by Lake Ontario were covered in mid-November, but these areas can cope.

 80" in the end for Orchard Park, so 6' 8" deep. Incredible Lake Effect snow event

Whiteout conditions at the moment with around 10cm fallen since this morning. Pics don’t do it justice but one webcam is picking up the conditions well ...

Mid minus 20’s is the limit to my cold happiness. Which is the forecast for Canmore region. Edmonton looking like minus 30’s though. That’s not fun

After 12 years in Calgary I'm done with it... Imagine a Coldie saying that...  ha ha..

Worked in Canmore for 2 Months before fleeing....
