LOL!  2-3' is going to be blown away on the Tug for that timeframe!!  4-5'+ more likely, just because of the upslope and such a DEEP snow growth region..perfectly aligned with saturated layer (deep too!)  The Tug will snow at 2-3"/hr. OUTSIDE OF THE MAIN BAND!!  Look for rates of 5-7"/hr. when the band targets the central Tug...They'll get 3' in 12 hours...

On Friday? I'm debating going to tug or south of here, if its 5-7" per hour I think it's an easy call.

5-7"/hr? I can see 4-5" in that band Thursday night with ELs near 20kft and LI CAPE of 1000J/kg but I thought that was rather aggressive. 

Now I want to hear your totals outside the Tug too..

I've lived up there for 35+ years, just knowing the parameters progged for the entire column and sending that column into the Tug, the orographic effects will do it's magic!! :)

LEK knows the region better than me, so I will not argue with such a prediction haha. I will say the prospects for 4'+ is pretty high for the Tug once again with the current setup. The forecast sounding for up there on the 12z NAM looks tasty with steep low level lapse rates and energy rolling across the Lake. EQL heights around 20-22k at peak intensity would make for quite the dump. Add in the orographic enhancement, and you could easily see 3-5" an hour in the best band. Wouldn't be surprised to hear a little thunder out of this as well. I have't taken a real good look, but I will tomorrow and post some totals like I did the last one. Lots of fun up that way. I work all the time, so no chasing chances for me. Twas life

Well, unfortunately, it'll be hard to verify even if it occurs, because of the sparseness of population.  But, while living up there, I bore witness to 6+"/hr. stuff in Parish (limited orographic involvement) about 10 times or so over 25 years...peak was a 10"/hr. rate in the Jan. 2004 event....and an 8"/hr. rate in Feb. 2007...and as long as the progged conditions verify, I can't see why those rates won't be achievable up on the Tug at times....should be fun!  But those rates are pretty much unchaseable.

Nam 12 km shows nothing for roc to oswego

It's definitely not an ideal setup for Monroe county on this one.  That said, there is some low level moisture hanging around on Friday as winds go WNW/NW.  An upstream connection might hook us up with some love but I'm not holding my breath.  This type of setup rarely does much in my neck of the woods.  In fact, its a truly brutal setup for me as I will be just 20 miles too far East to score anything from the Erie band early on then I'll watch the Ontario band hug the shore and pummel all points East for the rest of it.  Still lots of fun stuff to watch over the next few days but I'm thinking the ROC is on the sidelines for the most part.  NWS is bullish with the 8-12 on their latest map.

This is a bit of an exaggeration, is it not? In the last decade, metro Buffalo has received several notable lake effect storms: 10/06, 12/08, 12/10, 1/14, and 11/14. What is the long-term average of major storms in the Metro? 



2010 and both 2014 storms were south buffalo hits not really metro hits. If you go back prior metro storms were happening rather regularly Dec 95 Nov 00 Dec 01 Oct 06... I can post some more later.

11/14 is a stretch - significant accumulations in Buffalo proper were no further north than Outer Harbor to Kaisertown, extending towards Lancaster. So missing about 75% of the population of the Metro.

Coming up on three years since even a half decent lake effect event that was a solid hit for the Metro.

Yeah, I'm quite surprised they haven't thrown up an advisory to cover in the case it over-performs. I guess we still have tomorrow to get a better feel for things.



Like I said earlier, what's wrong with just throwing up a watch and letting a few more runs process. Take the time to make the right call. If tomorrow afternoon it looks good make the upgrade, if it's looking like a miss just let the watch expire. I feel like the NWS is much too detailed in watch issuance and only put one up if they will follow it with a warning or advisory. Either way it's a hard call to make and they will take criticism one way or another.

Define "Solid hit" because we had one last year that dropped close to a foot.
