HRRR might have been the farthest north.

Did the NAM win this one? I think so. Went wayyyy north.

Well I got my ice storm so I'm happy. Solid block of ice on car this morning, took forever to get off.

Models have trended north with every storm this winter within 12-24 hours.

Jamestown

moisture starved system

Still 7" on the ground NW of Springville

Lock it in. 3-4" of FZA over Erie. Would FZA freeze over Erie as it falls? The world may never know.

Good view of the lake today, full sunshine. You can see the Chautauqua ridgeline there with the snow line.

this is more accurate map for WNY than the one I posted.

Same. Want to go do some more cross country skiing. Hopefully its meaty stuff and at least 6" to get the trails looking good.

Better enjoy this snowstorm. Putin just declared war on the entire world. Dudes insane.

Buffalo airport is in Cheektowaga NY (9 miles NE of the city), Syracuse airport is 5 miles north of the city North Syracuse , the Rochester airport is 3 miles southwest of downtown. Erie airport is 5 miles southwest of downtown, just outside the city boundary. I'd say out of all those locations Syracuse total is best spot for snowfall totals. If Rochester recording station was 3 miles NE of the city instead of SW they would average quite a bit more, same with Buffalo 3 miles SE of the city. If Syracuse was 3 miles south of the city their average would drop significantly. Binghamtons recording location is in a great place for snow totals too, forgot about them. Their average is much higher than the city is. The example you posted is definitely different though. If the totals were recorded along the water in Marquette the annual totals would drop by feet, thats a massive difference in recording locations. We saw this when Buffalos recording station was right along the water, the average snowfall totals was much lower than what it is now.

Agreed, system has lots of issues. No big snowfall rates, thermal issues, secondary taking over, storm track uncertainty. I'm more interested in the arctic front.

KBUF mentions top 2 analogs January 28th 2009 and February 5th 2014

HRRR

There are actually no snowfall spotters in the best spot along the Chautauqua ridge. They likely average quite a bit more than lori in Perrysburg up there.

Around 750 feet here.

Its similar to the Chautauqua ridge. You go from the coastline to 2300 feet in a matter of a few miles

I may have to add that to the hiking list. Not too high but should be some pretty good views of Lake Superior.

Marquette>Buf NWS. Those are beautiful maps
