    Didn’t you have 2 synoptic systems give you 15-18” already? November and then last week. 

    We've had 2 decent to good events as you've mentioned. We are tracking roughly normal for snowfall with almost 2 months of winter left. So it's far from a disaster here.  We ground out 12-13" over a couple days last weekend, despite disappointing synoptic snowfall in our immediate area (Syracuse city had noticeably more!). 

    Personally I dont care much about LES as it's usually transient and more or less window dressing here.  Which to be clear, is a cool thing for us snow lovers, but it's not like we get blockbuster snow on WNW flow events or "ye olde broom" events that start north and fall off the lake heading south while reorienting to NW flow multi bands.

    Bring it, 60-65 up into KSYR, on the EURO for Feb 5 can't wait, not!

     

    Pretty much done with winter here. Cold with occasional flurries or SN- isn't all that exciting TBH.  Fortunately, I have a golf trip to Arizona later in Feb. Maybe when I get back I'll bring the Torch with me. ;)

    We are a special breed lol

    Majority of the population is weather illiterate...

    I actually know a few who can't tell the difference between a tornado and hurricane lol

    Almost everyone thinks sleet is freezing rain..haha

    I have friends who call bust when the forecast is 30 percent showers , "weatherman are always wrong"

    And they're convinced of global warning's worst outcomes...just ask them...

    Yeah this is gonna show up as maybe an inch or two at KBUF. Just as well that the seasonal snowfall numbers will stay low and will more accurately reflect what an awful season this has been for the Niagara Frontier in general.

    Isn't the Niagara frontier always awful for snow?

    I've seen a comparison to '85 and maybe '67? I know the forecasts are not doing a good job with temps for this but I'm feeling a day next week Thursday or Friday that will not get above zero in all areas and the low temp of -21 at KBUF might be in jeopardy. That is also a mean SW flow and I'm really curious of the LES potential.

    Rice snow for LES in those conditions.  SGZ is underground. ;)

Another synoptic system will cross the area late Monday through
Tuesday. Model guidance continues to show a variety of track
solutions with this system. Some runs, including the 00Z GFS and GEM
take the low center to the north and west of our region, which would
bring a brief warm-up and possible mixed precipitation or even rain
to our region. The ECMWF on the other hand takes a more southern
track, which would keep our area all snow. If the more southern
track verifies this system could be a respectable snow producer for
our region.

Regardless of the eventual track of this system, model guidance
remains in good agreement in bringing another strong push of true
arctic air into the Great Lakes and New England for the second half
of next week. 850mb temps may bottom out at -30C, which would
support near record cold across our region.

    We're gonna have a nascent glacier here in about a week. ;)

    No one else knew about the 3" deluge we just received? Gotta love when they say rain, and it turns into a flooding rn, unreal, but when its supposed to snow heavy, we get pixie dust for flakes, lol!

    0.50" in my rain gauge this a.m. snowcover down from 14" to 10". Still 41 degrees here this a.m.  The snow has absorbed this pretty well but another day of 40 degrees will chomp into this.

    And usually when KBUF sees potential and they throw up a winter storm watch Binghamton usually follows but I don't see that this time as far as Onondaga Madison and So. Cayuga so I wouldn't lose hope just yet.

    KBGM not jumping ugly yet on this. There's still a day for modelling to further work on this event...they did mention northern Oneida but were concerned about residence time...also that NAM supposedly shows band getting into Syracuse area for a time. So WTFK...
