Gore Mountain Weather 09/10

[Snowballs]

About 7" in North Creek and seems to be tapering off a bit with the temp warming.

We got 12 inches of heavier, wettish snow here at Exit 18, adjacent to West Mtn. Snow stopped about noon. Wind won't blow this snow.

27* no precip.

Bingo!

Folks what we saw today was a little bit of Gore magic. More on that later.

Now if we can get our hands on some of tomorrow's Lake Effect that would be sweet.

Looks like the LE band will be a big juicy one.

NWS is calling for it to start headed ENE from Ontario ... but then to wander south into central Herkimer and Hamilton.

In general Gore's not prime for lake effect, but if ever there was a time now might be it.

MAJOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW EVENT SETTING UP FOR COMMUNITIES IN NORTHERN HERKIMER AND THROUGHOUT HAMILTON COUNTIES THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY.
.
The strong flow of very cold air coming across the warm waters of lake Ontario will set the stage for massive snow accumulations in the Lake Ontario snow belts through Saturday. Initially on Thursday, there is expected to be enough of a southwest component to the wind to keep much of the snow out of Herkimer and Hamilton counties. However, the flow will become more westerly and eventually northwesterly through Saturday allowing major lake effect snow bands to migrate through the Adirondacks likely leaving up to THREE FEET OF SNOW in some areas, especially those areas closer to the lake. Lake effect snow showers of lesser intensity will also impact the Mohawk valley and Catskills and much of the remainder of the region, Friday through Saturday, from time to time.

Dusting off the split board
