As we get into the day Tuesday, the developing coast low will begin
tracking from the mid-Atlantic to the Northeast states. This
developing storm system will hold back the upper-level low over the
Great Lakes, which will allow for synoptic forcing to linger across
the region all day ahead of the upper low and moisture advection
from the Atlantic increases into central NY. Widespread snowfall
will impact all of NY State and could become heavy at times. The
higher snowfall rates (up to an inch per hour at times) will develop
as the flow becomes northerly off Lake Ontario, creating lake
enhancement and upslope for locations south of Lake Ontario and the
northern Finger Lakes higher terrain. Snowfall amounts on Tuesday
will range from around 3 to 5 inches the Buffalo and Watertown
areas, to 4 to 7 inches for the lake and upslope enhanced Chautauqua
Ridge, southern Lake Ontario shoreline, northern Finger Lakes and
Tug Hill

 

Our attention remains on the deep Nor`easter that will be lifting
northward across coastal New England Tuesday night through Wednesday.
Moisture wrapping around the deep storm system will maintain steady
synoptic snow across the region Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Meanwhile, temperatures aloft will be dropping to around -16c at 850
mb on the western side of the system. This will result in increasing
over-lake instability, which will enhance the synoptic lift south of
Lake Ontario and southeast of Lake Erie. Expect the worst conditions
to be along the south shore of Lake Ontario Tuesday night through at
least the first half of Wednesday, from Niagara county to Syracuse
including the Rochester Metro area, with a combination of snow and
blowing snow potentially producing near blizzard conditions at
times. Secondary area of concern will be south of Buffalo along the
Chautauqua ridge as winds back around to a northwesterly direction.
It appears increasingly likely that significant snows will occur for
areas immediately south of Lake Ontario in 8 to 15 inch range during
the Tuesday night through Wednesday time frame, including the
Rochester metro area. Additionally, the northerly flow Tuesday night
and Wednesday will bring an upslope component that will allow for
higher totals of 6-10 inches in the higher terrain of the Boston and
Bristol Hills and higher spots across Wyoming County. A relative
snowfall minimum is likely for the Buffalo metro area as it will
probably be spared from the bulk of the lake enhanced snows.
Additionally, gusty northerly winds into the 20-25 mph range will
bring blowing and drifting snow as the event unfolds

Burn this useless winter, which has screwed us every way possible. I hope we get just a few inches of fluff because I want this winter to finish under 60". If we can get through the season with less than 7.1" then we will achieve that goal.
