    Figured it would have lost it with the next run but there it is again. That first run was the kind of evolution you sketch out on paper as the “dream” storm for BUF-SYR. Bombing low in Delaware Bay that moves N/NW to near Ottawa. Still too far out to get excited but makes the next few model runs interesting. 

    Yeah, everyone would be happy with that solution.

    BUF updated AFD:

    Friday night and Saturday the vertically stacked low will gradually
    push eastward with its axis reaching western Quebec and western New
    England by early Saturday evening. Its approach will bring in cooler
    air aloft, enough so to produce lake effect precipitation. Consensus
    850mb temperatures drop to -5c across Lake Erie by 12Z Saturday. SSW
    flow will direct most of the lake effect rain showers across Canada
    and far eastern portions of Niagara and Erie counties Friday night.
    A few rain or snow showers are possible across the rest of Western
    New York, but any of these would be on the light side.
    
    Fairly good model agreement that the stacked low and a strong
    embedded shortwave will move across the area on Saturday. This will
    provide moisture which will enhance lake effect precipitation, and
    will also produce rain or snow showers further inland from the lakes
    due to the shortwave. Flow will shift to the southwest which will
    direct what should be a well developed band across the Buffalo metro
    area on Saturday. Still a bit too warm aloft to support lake effect
    snow, although wet snow or graupel could mix in times. Also added a
    mention of thunder with this band. A less developed band will
    develop off Lake Ontario and move across the St Lawrence and then
    Jefferson County. Further inland it won`t have to be quite as cold
    aloft to support snow, with rain or snow showers possible with the
    shortwave. Any accumulation would be minimal with high temperatures
    in the lower to mid 40s.
    
    Models suggest winds will shift to the WSW Saturday night in the
    wake of the shortwave. Precipitation will once again become mostly
    lake effect, with bands likely to be centered across southern Erie
    county and across the Tug Hill. Slightly cooler 850mb temps around
    -6c could support some snow accumulation, especially across higher
    terrain. Fairly high confidence there will be lake effect bands, but
    low confidence in precipitation type due to the marginal
    temperatures.

    .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
    Bands of lake effect precipitation will start this period, with a
    predominately southwest flow across the Eastern Great Lakes. This
    will highlight precipitation along the Lake Erie shoreline, and
    inland across the northern Niagara Frontier, as well as towards the
    northern Tug Hill Sunday. Thermal profiles are marginal for snow,
    with 850 hPa temperatures around -5 to -7C at periods start.
    
    A shortwave from the northern Rockies will sharpen the east coast
    mid level trough Sunday night and into Monday. Backing surface winds
    will send lake precipitation northward...possibly entirely into
    Canada by Monday morning, while all along more widespread synoptic
    precipitation spreads over the region with the approaching
    shortwave. Again thermal profiles are marginal for snow on
    Monday...and not until the shortwave passes and flow becomes more
    northwesterly later Monday and into Tuesday that temperatures aloft
    will cool sufficiently for snow to be the predominate precipitation
    type. By this time, the lake effect event will be winding down.

    Sounds a lot like Oct 2006 if you ask me.

    I saw this on another sub-forum, think this is in Alaska. 250" in 2 days. 

    Detailed Forecast

    Today
    Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Areas of blowing snow. High near 24. Southeast wind 65 to 70 mph increasing to 75 to 80 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 85 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 52 to 58 inches possible.
    Tonight
    Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 23. East wind 50 to 60 mph, with gusts as high as 65 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 110 to 116 inches possible.
    Sunday
    Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 25. East wind 40 to 50 mph, with gusts as high as 60 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 73 to 79 inches possible

    I feel the wind may knock down ratios a bit...

    First wording of "snow" in the forecast..

    Obviously would be early morning with a forecast low of 35°, maybe a mangled flake lol Either way a long shot at this point..

    Thursday
    A chance of rain and snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 46. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

    Same.

    Tuesday Night
    A chance of rain showers, mixing with snow after 1am, then gradually ending. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 34. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
