Those Euro Kuch maps have to be insane. 25-35"?

Only because you got transitioned zone in the last LES event I'll allow it. I actually expect the max QPF to be Rochester-Bing-Syr line.

Check the hour time frames, the GFS timing is slightly different.

I've never seen a synoptic storm drop 2" of QPF across WNY. This would be a first.

Looks even better than 0Z run for WNY with increased QPF. Can only go down from the 12z runs, still expect a slight correction SE but the convective element of the NW band makes me think this really does come further NW than I originally thought. Storms always chase convection.

The memes in mid atlantic thread are so good. We gotta step up our game.

That day 5 finale wow

Just catching up and thought this was cool from KBUF, have to go look up those storms now Storms of this nature have a history of generating widespread snow throughout all of western and north central New York. Similar sfc patterns occurred with the following storms: 2/13/93, 12/29/97, 1/12/96, 2/23/98, 12/11/92 and 2/12/85.

Its going to be similar to lake effect snow bands. I still think that band sets up across CNY. GEFS are too far SE for it to come this far to the NW. We've been seeing subtle shifts the last few runs. It all depends on what side of the apps it tracks. If it goes East I expect it to go further SE then modeled, if it goes west than I expect it to go further NW than modeled.

Models have been pretty consistent in showing banding across the NW flanks of the storm. Whoever ends up in that band of death @Syrmax is going to experience some incredible synoptic snowfall rates.

Whoever is in that deform band to NW of the storm will be happy. Just clobbers WNY, still believe that band ends up across Central NY. It drops 1-1.75" of QPF for all of Upstate.

Yep, I have a few friends that escaped that area for Buffalo and never looked back. They hated it there. Good place for snow though.

Found a good website for that one! https://www.syracuse.com/vintage/2016/01/your_comments_on_the_blizzard.html

I don't think there will be many pictures/videos for that one. I just looked it up and dropped 30"+ at my house had to be lake effect judging by map

Forgot about that one, added to list. If you got anything to send me PM me some links.

Going to be putting together videos of some of Upstates biggest snowstorms. It's been a project I've always wanted to work on. Obviously going to do 1977, 1993, 1995, 2001, 2006, 2010. Already did one for 2014. Let me know if you guys want any photos/videos added or any other storms you can think of. Here is the first one I completed for Blizzard of 1985. Some of the older storms its tough to get good content on. There were hardly any videos/photos for this storm. I want to make them a few minutes each if possible. There are so many storms in the Buffalo book of snowstorms that go way way back, but no content for them. There are a couple in there with 70"+ totals. =(

Yeah

This is false. March 2008 was a Miller A that brought 2 feet to WNY. 30"+ to Holiday Valley.

A few still way out to sea

GEFS

Incredible rates

That would be heavy snow over WNY not IP though. Probably just an issue with this specific modeling page.

GGEM heads up to Syracuse. Just like last years storm this might be a Toronto special by the time were done with it.

Those rates on the GGEM are insane, what causes that? I've never seen those colors here.
