I FOLLOWED A COMPROMISE

SOLUTION WITH RESPECT TO P-TYPE AS THE VERY STRONG LIFT AND HENCE

DYNAMIC COOLING MAY KEEP THE COLUMN COOLER THAN THE GFS WOULD

SUGGEST. DUE TO MUCH UNCERTAINTY ATTM WILL NOT ISSUE ANY

ADVISORIES BUT LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO ESPECIALLY FOR THE NRN CWA

WHERE SNOW ACCUMS COULD APPROACH FOUR INCHES.

The southern end ....last bands came through here around 6-8 am and fell as snow showers with a coating and a temperature of 33.

I think I saw a snowflake.

Tonight could be interesting up your way if the NAM has its way. BUFKIT says almost 0.6" QPF for ALB falls as snow. We'll be screwed by BL temps here in valley as usual...but you may be able to pull off an advisory snowfall if that verifies.

That was one where I also managed 5 inches while ALB got 2-3. "Heaviest" snowfall of the season so far. In many winters, this would be one where I'd hang my hat on overperforming in our area...this year I'll be happy with a little slop on the front end.

Edit: "Overperforming" in the sense if we had a normal cold airmass for mid-late February.

I'm thinking it could be comparable to that January 12th event in the CD where I got 5.5 inches. Maybe I don't get that much, but generally speaking a similar event. This time it looks like central NY starts as better snow than that time. Advisory level could be attained.

lol.

It's gotten so bad you troll Upstate NY now?

nope just what the text says:

MODEL TIMING DIFFERENCES CONTINUE TO EXIST CONCERNING THE NEXT LOW

PRESSURE SYSTEM. FOR NOW HAVE HELD OFF THE ARRIVAL OF PCPN UNTIL

AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...WITH MAINLY CATEGORICAL POPS LATE TONIGHT

THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY AFTERNOON...THEN POPS DECREASING DURING THE

AFTERNOON AS A DRY SLOT SURGES INTO THE REGION.

COLD ENOUGH FOR MAINLY SNOW OR SLEET THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY

MORNING...THEN A TRANSITION TO MAINLY RAIN IN ALL AREAS BY EARLY

FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

AS THE STORM MOVES BY LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY EVENING...

COLDER AIR WILL BEGIN TO RETURN AT THE MID LEVELS AND PCPN WILL

TRANSITION BACK TO SNOW FRIDAY EVENING. BY THAT TIME STEADY PCPN

WILL HAVE ENDED WITH THE PCPN BECOMING SHOWERY IN NATURE AS A MOIST

NORTHWESTERLY FLOW PREVAILS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.

I disagree, I dont see any rain in the 'dacks, they look good for a general 4-8 inches.

It's cold enough though..the snow showers this morning stuck right away, albeit minor. 35 and ovc here now....talk of 50 today in the HV seems very distant from here.

What we're dealing with in ENY/NENY is like a six hour band of heavier stuff where the good dynamics should keep the column cold enough for snow and then a tapering to pingers and -RN as it ends. So the rain in their forecasts sounds worse than the reality if 80% of the qpf falls as snow. High temps in ENY tomorrow will be overforecast IMO.
