The continued winter woes blasting Buffalo this week reached historic proportions Friday (December 23, 2022). The day’s total snowfall ended at a record of 22.3 inches in the city, nearly doubling up the previous daily maximum snowfall record of 12.6 inches set in 1976.
Precipitation across the board fell in historical totals, as Friday’s rainfall accumulation in the city of 1.98 inches broke the previous daily maximum rainfall record of 1.73, set in 1878. Blizzard conditions fell Saturday morning just outside Buffalo in portions of the Niagara frontier, due to a combination of a heavy snow band and winds gusting to 55 mph, setting visibility at zero. The conditions made travel impossible for portions of the frontier, particularly a 10-15 mile-wide band across the Buffalo northtowns and the city of Niagara Falls.

Our son's flight to come home for Christmas was just cancelled. We are really sad right now. We rebooked him for the middle of the week.
When’s the Bills’ next home-game?
Its a very narrow band of snow off Lake Erie
Just 20 miles south of the city, in the traditional “lake snow belt” hardly 3 inches has fallen
Weather
it happens or not
Maybe it IS glow bull cooling. ⛄
🤶 Merry Christmas
So it’s no accident.
Recall ‘76-77 was the drought year in the West.
When that La Nina pattern happens, we get the “Alberta Clippers” going down through Eastern Montana and then rolling out in to the Midwest at high speed, no mountains in their way. So they dump Mass Quantities on the Upper Midwest.
What was interesting about this year is that the West DID get pelted first before the Eastern pattern set up. In 76-77, that didn’t happen.
Klaus Schwab and his WEF says they can fix that if you give them a few trillion dollars and surrender the planet to them ,LOL
Check out the NY511 traffic cams that are still working for a look at what’s happening.
For local enemedia coverage...
book christmas in july...so you can enjoy the parks, have cook outs.....
LOL...the traffic cams on Long Island and Rochester show unbearable conditions, don’t they? The grass is still green there!
We’ve already got Fourth of July plans, though! ;>)
Albert Clippers are usually moisture starved, quickly moving small-scale events that don't produce mass quantities of snow.
The winter of 76/77 was our last in Buffalo. We moved to Salt Lake City in July of 1977. The 12.6 inches was part of a winter total record of 200.6 inches!
The Left is crazy. The weather gets warmer. It gets colder. It goes into cycles. We don’t know how much of it is man-made. The effect may not be as much as they think.
Snowfall amounts with these systems tend to be small (on the order of 1–3 inches or 2.5–7.5 cm), as the relative lack of moisture and quick movement inhibit substantial snowfall totals. However, several factors could combine to produce higher snow accumulations (6 inches/15 cm or more). These factors include access to more moisture (which raises precipitation amounts), slower system movement (which increases snowfall duration), and colder temperatures (which increases the snow to water ratio). The southern and eastern shores of the Great Lakes often receive enhanced snowfall from Alberta clippers during the winter, due to lake enhancement. The lake-effect snow can add substantially to the overall snowfall total.[13]
Occasionally the clippers, when reaching the upper Atlantic seaboard (usually north of Delaware), "bomb out" and can cause severe winter weather along the coast from Boston northward as Atlantic moisture is tapped. Snowfall amounts can approach 6–12" or more when this happens. However, typically, Alberta clippers are not large snow producers south of Boston.>
This statistic is meaningless. All it means is that since records were kept on the specific 24 hour period there has not been this amount of snow. The records for the 22n or 24th my have doubled today’s snowfall however that isn’t addressed.
This day day comparison is only weather drama to give people something to wind up about.
True. But it's really the clipper's trailing cold front after the clipper has moved on, or potentially any cold front that produces the large scale lake effect.
Occasionally the clippers, when reaching the upper Atlantic seaboard (usually north of Delaware), "bomb out" and can cause severe winter weather along the coast from Boston northward as Atlantic moisture is tapped.
True again. But as it says it's usually northward of Boston before the snow intensity picks up, and by then I would think of it as a nor'easter and I would no longer think of it as a clipper.
Just semantics.
Sure, it’s only one day, not a season. But, still, that’s an impressive breaking of the record. They probably have records in Buffalo back to the mid 1800s, so 150 to 170 December 23s have been recorded.
We saw the average Fall temperature here in North Idaho break temperature records for the entire three month season. The previous low Fall average was 37F and it fell by TWO degrees to 35F. That’s a BIG difference.

“The two records that have stood the longest are 36 inches in Astoria, Illinois, during the 24 hours ending Feb. 28, 1900, and 49 inches at Watertown, New York, Nov. 14-15, 1900.”
Buffalo ain’t got nuttin on Watertown.
