I can recall I-81 as the western cutoff zone for big accumulations for lots of storms in the 90’s. This could be one of those. I might have to eat my words (“nobody in BUF forecast zone sees 4”+). Clearly Lewis and Oswego counties still in the game.
The only one I remember, like this, that gave Roc big snow, occurred in 92. Dropped 18” in the eastern Rochester suburbs and wasn’t really forecast. It’s the only one that I can recall. Others? Gotta be more, WNY shows up in the 20-30% on the analogues for 4”....
