what I would do for a repeat of 08-09. 5 events in a 3 week period of November. I remember ski country getting pounded wishing I had a vehicle to chase down there. If I remember correctly Holiday Valley was open before Thanksgiving on all natural snow. Just thinking about that right now seems absolutely absurd! 

What I would do for a 2014 Nov Repeat... The best few week period in Buffalo and Metro aside from Dec 2001 was 98-99. I remember it so vividly because my parents decided to move in the middle of winter from the West Side to Cheektowaga. We had to shovel the huge driveway every day for weeks. Just constant snow. Was not used to shoveling such a huge driveway since we didn't have one in the city. These are just lake effect events, there was plenty of Synoptic stuff as well. That January had 65.1" of snow at KBUF. One of the more underrated time periods. I believe West Seneca had the most in this 3 week stretch. 80"+

Wow! Now that's the kind of event I like to see. After yesterday I'm pumped for winter.

Yeah after last years winter, I am usually ready for it starting Nov 1st. Nice having a new face on this sub-forum, I believe its the deadest in all of American. Hopefully we will have lots to talk about in the next few months and you should definitely come chasing if a big event arises.

00-01 was also a pretty solid start. 3 12" plus storms in a 3 week span for the metro.

That late 90s early 2000s was such a prime period for some good lake storms for the metro and north towns. They are way overdue for a good dumping. The past few years all the action has been Hamburg to South Buffalo.

Thursday
Rain and snow showers likely, becoming all rain after 9am. Cloudy, with a high near 46. Chance of precipitation is 70%

Hello and welcome Bigfoot.

I'm west of you in Otsego County.  You're on the right board.  It should be great fun this winter.

PV split looks likely. The abnormally strong PV that was in place all year last winter was unable to drop any really cold air into the lower 48. The pattern looks to change quite a bit from Nov. 10th onward for the last 2 weeks of November. Usually takes 2-3 weeks after a PV split to see any effects in our area.

Welcome! Yeah there are quite a bit more posters in the eastern sections of NY in this forum than the west.

Yeah, I think you definitely get some flakes this week.

The PV split is intriguing... we'll see what happens in the troposphere over the next couple weeks but certainly a significant stratospheric vortex split. Past events suggest that the second half of November (or early December) should be exciting around here

Yeah Euro weeklies showed this too, don't think we're allowed to post them here though. Last 2 weeks of November look good.

Euro Weeklies for 2 straight runs look amazing.

Looks great from mid NOV through mid DEC

-EPO, -AO, -NAO

All 3 of these would favor troughing in the East.

Thursday
Rain and snow, becoming all rain after 10am. High near 41. Southeast wind 15 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 38 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.
Thursday Night
Rain likely before 10pm, then showers likely after 10pm. Cloudy, with a low around 39. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible

Northern Daks look to be the place to be in this setup. Jet couplet combined with a closed 500mb low over the NE will provide some decent dynamics to enhance the precip field in that area. Tey also get the benefit of seeing the longest lasting precip due to latitude. The higher elevations around 2500-3000'+ will probably cash 6-10" in this setup. Look at WV and see the small fire hose aimed at Upstate right now. With the anticipated CAA on the backside of the low, snowfall elevations should fall through the day with gradually increasing snow ratios in the higher terrain. Not bad for a low located well off the coast into New England. I want to see pics when all said and done if anyone gets the white stuff ^_^

Yeah latest GFS run looks pretty good for 1-3" if its able to stick in Eastern NY. Especially above 1k elevation.
