Exciting weather for those Lake Effect Snow buffs out there. Arctic air and a strong wind at the surface crossing Lake Ontario is contributing to some very impressive snows.
In Watertown, NY, moderate to heavy snow is falling and there has been well over 18" of snow just north of the city in the past 12 hours or so. Current WSR-88D images suggest that Thundersnow is likley occurring as well. Many power lines and trees are down in the area and states of Emergency have been declared in some areas as well.
The other interesting thing is that the winds have been gusting as high as 47 MPH along with the 2-3"/hour snows and the thunder and lightning.
Very cool indeed. This is the place to be today if you like L.E. snow. If you're not there already, then you definitely won't be getting in.

There are a lot of pages of chat. The group is moderated though but it isn't as strict as this forum. It is a forum for people who want to talk about the weather from A to Z. Some threads are better than others. A lot more information though can be found on that forum (as far as real time reports). You just have to follow the threads. For every one post in here you may have 40+ over there.
