I'll take this in a heartbeat?  Whats all the complaining about then?  That's without LE that is inevitable in this situation.  The LE aspect can be impressive maybe even more so than the event itself so I was way premature with my disaster posts, lol.  Maybe I should to wait to see guidance before I spew nonsense, lol. Learned a good lesson, don't listen to anyone until you see it for yourself.

Throw 12z op out. Every single ensemble (all 51) well west of operational run. It had problems 

Still, consensus 12z runs too Far East for c/WNY to get crush job. It's the lake enhancement that is allowing Rochester to still be in the game and the western trough. 

Ill be curious to see the 0z run. If east trend continues we can hope for some lake stuff. If they correct west (I think so), we can still be excited. Don't discount the NAM - but it's clearly an outlier now.

Buffalo Afternoon update

 

After that...our attention will then turn to a complex winter storm
that now appears as if it will have some potentially significant impacts
for our region during the Monday night-Wednesday time frame. During this
period...a strong mid-level trough will drop southeastward from central
Canada and interact with an initially separate shortwave lifting
northeastward from the Tennessee Valley...with all available guidance
continuing to suggest better phasing between these two features than
what had been advertised a mere 24 hours or so ago. The end result
of all this will be an initial primary surface low over the Ohio
Valley maintaining its identity longer while lifting toward western
New York Monday night and Tuesday...before transferring its energy
to a rapidly developing secondary coastal low later Tuesday and Tuesday
night...which will track northeastward along or just a bit offshore of
the Mid Atlantic and New England coastlines.

Under the warm advection regime out ahead of this system...plentiful
moisture and lift will be transported into our region Monday night
and Tuesday...then will linger in place right through Tuesday night
and Wednesday as our region comes under the influence of the wraparound
portion of the increasingly dominant coastal low. With plenty of cold
air remaining in place across our region...this will result in a prolonged
widespread moderate snowfall for our region...with the snow also becoming
lake enhanced Tuesday night and Wednesday as colder air wraps southward
around the backside of the strengthening coastal low.

Taking both pattern recognition and a consensus of the 12z/11 guidance
suite/WPC QPF guidance into account...the potential for a widespread
warning-criteria snowfall certainly seems to exist across our entire
region during the Monday night to Wednesday time frame...particularly
south of Lake Ontario where the aforementioned lake enhancement will
likely come into play during the second half of the event. Based on this...
continued model agreement on a more phased system...and collaboration
with neighboring WFOs...we have elected to hoist winter storm watches
for our entire area...as outlined in the watch/warning/advisory section
below.

As we move into Wednesday night...the coastal low will lift out into
the Canadian Maritimes while high pressure builds east from the central
Great Lakes...with synoptic-scale moisture consequently diminishing across
our area. This will result in any leftover synoptic-scale snow showers
giving way to some scattered lake effect snow showers south and southeast
of the lakes to close out the period.

Partially to blame on this. Saw EURO snow outputs at 10 to 1 and had us in 4 to 8, that and other forums in meltdown mode. Still skeptical at 60 hours out.

Unfortunately for the capital district, I will be there this week for work.  My track record for being in a jackpot area for big storms is not good. The few exceptions was VD2.0 here and the two back to back 20+" snowstorms, Xmas and a week later, near Albany back in 2001 or 02.  Otherwise I tend to be in localized minima areas, or completely shafted like March 1993.

I am going to pull a Syrmax and say we miss this and get nickeled and dimed with lake enhancement Tuesday night and a Wednesday. Syrmax is usually spot on!

He's actually gung ho on this one, maybe for that specific reason, that he won't be here,lol.
