White Christmas? It's going to be close!

#1 Postby nystate » Fri Dec 24, 2004 11:14 am

I'm in Watertown, and looking at the NWS Warning I don't know if I should expect snow or not! It all depends on how far north the band gets. I'm really hoping right now though!

NYZ007-242200-
JEFFERSON-
INCLUDING THE CITY OF WATERTOWN
950 AM EST FRI DEC 24 2004

...LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING IN EFFECT THIS AFTERNOON INTO CHRISTMAS
DAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BUFFALO NY HAS ISSUED A LAKE EFFECT
SNOW WARNING.

A BAND OF HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW IS FORECAST TO DRIFT SLOWLY
NORTHWARD AS FAR AS WATERTOWN LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT AND PERSIST INTO
CHRISTMAS DAY. ACCUMULATIONS BY THIS EVENING WILL LIKELY RANGE FROM 7
INCHES OVER THE TUG HILL PLATEAU TO LESS THAN 2 INCHES FURTHER NORTH.
OVERNIGHT AN ADDITIONAL 5 TO 8 INCHES COULD ACCUMULATE FROM WATERTOWN
SOUTHWARD. STORM TOTALS BY MIDDAY CHRISTMAS COULD EASILY EXCEED A
FOOT.

IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW THE WEATHER CAN VARY FROM LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW IN
NARROW BANDS TO CLEAR SKIES JUST A FEW MILES AWAY. IF YOU WILL BE
TRAVELING ACROSS THE REGION BE PREPARED FOR RAPID CHANGES IN ROAD AND
VISIBILITY CONDITIONS. STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER
RADIO AND TV STATIONS FOR FURTHER DETAILS OR UPDATES.


Really nervous right now!!!!!

Its been snowing (heavy at times) for a little while now, and I estimate 3-4 inches so far at my location. TWC is predicting 6-10 inches here tonight and another 1-3 inches tomorrow. And to think that earlier this afternoon they were forecasting cloudy skies!! Incredible!!!
