OK, I had to hurry up and get that out, that Buffalo is in last place in the Golden Snowball contest. Chances are I won’t be saying that for awhile with all of the lake effect snow that they are expecting the next couple of days. So, Yup, Buffalo is in dead last place and even behind Albany, snicker 😉
From reading around the weather sites it’s looking like it is still a go for Buffalo to receive close to a couple of feet and maybe even more. Hopefully for you snow lovers the snow bands will set up just right and hang over the airport. Don’t underestimate this either because with the wind and that amount of snow there is no doubt it will be dangerous out there so Drive careful and stay safe.
Predictions For Snow
I just added 0.6 of an inch to Buffalo’s totals so the chances are that it is snowing right now there. It will also be interesting to see if Buffalo can over take Erie, Pa in the National Snow Contest Here. Right now Buffalo isn’t even in the top 25 snowiest cities but if this all pans out they should most likely jump to at least second place in the contest. Depending on how Erie makes out with the lake effect snow Buffalo may even have a shot at taking the top spot on the snow mountain in the Golden Snow Globe contest. Stay Tuned!
Picked up a quick 2 inches during the initial lake effect setup earlier tonight. Tons of lightning and thunder! Of course the fool I am, i spent a ton of time outside trying to get some video only to have house shaking thunder after heading back in on both attempts. Things could be interesting for Buffalo as the southward swing on the band doesn’t appear to be happening as forecast. There is a chance if things setup just right KBUF could be looking at a top 10 snowfall record Tuesday! 35.9 is our top 24 hour snowfall… Maybe I can report a new record tomorrow night…
Isn’t that the way it almost always goes General. That’s happened to me a couple of times too 🙁 Buffalo has a lot to make up in the National snow contest. Erie had an almost 17 inch lead over Buffalo but I think it will get interesting. I had a message early this morning from a couple of people there that said they weren’t getting much if any snow so far. If that snow band hangs where it is I think Buffalo may take the lead. A shift to the east and south then Erie should cash in. Thanks for the update and Good Luck on the record 😉 That would be a cool record to break…
