Keep your eyes on the upstate blog and wait for us all to start losing our $hit in the T minus 5 day range.  If your traveling you got to be ready to drop everything and go.  We're usually pretty accurate hitting these events but sometimes they do dud out, the big ones sometimes are a surprise.  If your hitting the Buffalo area and looking for lodging I recommend the Hamburg area close to I 90.  Your right in the middle of it usually and worst case only a 20-30 minute drive to the northern and southern band areas. 

Ive never chased off Ontario but heard it's quite an experience.  Anywhere along 81 from Oswego to Watertown is gold.  But you better be prepared for some extreme snow.  

awesome, I no doubt pay attention to your forum, we guys know the most on your region so I come to your forum to watch the comments on the latest snow events

Good luck if you come up chasing this year.  Feel free to hit me up if you do I can give you better specifics for a good hunt around Buffalo. 

I will no doubt
