Snowpocalypse - 2021 Edition

[GG1]

Been a while since we had 20" in these parts.  Only 20 miles to the west hit 30"

Got about 12-14 inches here in Southern NH

Tuesday afternoon, cleared about 5" in the driveway. This morning, had another 8" to clear. Then this afternoon, again, about another 4-5".  I've used my snow blower more this year than in the last two years combined.

Man if it ever snowed down here in NC this would have been the most brutal winter I’ve ever seen. It has rained pretty much every single day in 2021.

If you're in the higher elevations it sounds like snow today.

 

 

Public service note:  Let's all try to keep our cool while shoveling.....

🙂🙂🙂 In Buffalo, if it was rain it would be a mist. Maybe  ½" all day.  Enough to dirty the windshield  following someone on the toad. Just have the wipers on the lowest setting. Very nice winter so far. Lake Erie is at 32, but hasn't froze over yet.

Dammit @Wacka, you cursed us! Looks like we are finally getting snow from one of the storms. It sure is purdy, but we had plans this evening.  Here's hoping it stops soon.

We  were supposed to get anywhere from  4-18 inches (on the border of the two regions).  Have about 4-5 inches at most. Sun i peekng out in Cheektowga right now.

Looks like it's coming our way.  The pussies already canceled tomorrow's INDOOR lacrosse games for the kids.

We got about 3 to 4 inches here. Very light fluffy stuff.

I wouldn't put it past them to use that excuse.

It was one year ago we got 18" inches.

 

Winter storm watch issued for Rochester region. How much snow will we get?

Heavy snow is likely across Western New York to start the week, with more than 9 inches of accumulation possible.

 

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for the area from Monday morning through Tuesday afternoon.

 

Light snow should begin falling around daybreak Monday in Greater Rochester, continuing on and off into early evening with 3 to 5 inches expected, said Steve Welch, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Buffalo. 

 

Greater accumulation is possible along the lakefront.

 

The heavier snow should kick off around midnight Tuesday morning, with a second storm front moving up the East Coast, Welch said. The region is on the western edge of that front, so totals could increase to the south and east of Rochester.

 

The storm watch stretches from Erie, Niagara and Chautauqua counties, across Cattaraugus, Allegany, Wyoming, Livingston, Genesee, Orleans, Monroe, Wayne and Ontario and northern Cayuge counties, on up to Oswego, Jefferson and Lewis counties. 

 

"Pretty much all of Western New York up to Watertown has the potential for 9 inches or more," Welch said. ...

That 24 hours storm that wasn't left us with about 3" of the white stuff.

Not so much a snow event but... aren't tornadoes rare this time of year?
