At that time we lived in Cheektowaga closer to the buffalo border and we received about 16" of snow while 1 mile to the south there was 83"...I couldn't believe I missed seeing such an epic event by that little bit. Yeah I measured 88.5" total. 50" from event 1 and 38.5" from event 2. Don't think I'll ever see an event like that again. Where do you guys live now?

I think the models are really handling everything poorly right now, so anything beyond a week is tough to take with any substance right now.

Agree completely with what you just said...even Cohen is torn as to the signals that are showing up at this time...we are in Williamsville now, but trust me I made every effort to move to the traditional snow belts!!!

Saw an article on the Washington Post maybe 2 weeks ago talking about the NWS being short staffed up in Alaska and as a result they have cut back on ballon launches up there by 25 - 50%. Anyone think this could be effecting the swings in verification we have been seeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-LES FREAK Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Either way I see less then 6" of snow the next 2 weeks for anywhere in New York. Best chances for that would be Tug Hill and highest hill tops in SW NYS. The colder than normal pattern with no snow is taking away from Eries LES potential pretty quickly. If it's not going to snow, I would rather have 60 and sun then 40 and cloudy. I disagree with this statement 100%, but that's why the weather is great!Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-LES FREAK Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 No one has mentioned that ENSO conditions are showing weak La Nina conditions lasting through the Season. A La Nina Winter normally see's a Northern tier Winter with quite a few Miller B's and Clippers so Lake Belts, get ready to get absolutely annihilated, lol!!

That is generally why it's hard to trust storm tracks from storms that haven't entered airspace where soundings take place in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of laughs and misery I'm heading up to the Capital Region for the weekend and let me just say, the train ride up the Hudson is one of my favorite things in the world. Incredibly beautiful. I've read it and thoroughly enjoy it! Not that the misery of the middle Atlantic snow lovers is a kick but the comments Crack me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling for average temps and above normal snow in roc Jim Teske on channel 9 in Syracuse did his winter outlook last night. Here is the summary: So here are the bullet points: -We expect near normal temperatures in Central New York for the winter months (December-February) but some variability with warm stretches, but also bouts of arctic air. -Snowfall will probably be just a bit above normal in the 125"-140" range. -More lake effect snow than normal this winter. -There will be more storms that give us a mix of precipitation: starting out as snow, then going over to sleet and freezing rain. This is based on winters with weak La Niñas, winters following wet Octobers and an active tropical season. Also, a warmer than normal Lake Ontario contributed.

OSUmetstud Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Here is the list of analogs that I used when coming up with my st. Johns seasonal forecast this year. It was taylored specifically to most important factors in the leading fall for here so it might not extrapolate well for BUF but it's fun anyway. 1954 1955 84.8 1967 1968 71.6 1970 1971 97.0 1977 1978 154.3 1986 1987 67.5 1991 1992 92.8 2002 2003 111.3 2003 2004 100.9 2004 2005 109.1 2013 2014 129.9 Average 101.9 6/10 above normal.

OSUmetstud Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just now, BuffaloWeather said: what season is your top analog? I think 1967 1968 was the best match. This only looks at late-summer fall Nino 1.2 TNI (Nino 4-Nino 1.2) and QBO. The correlation with winter snow total was about .4 with snow in stj (.01 significance) But I'd imagine it's much lower farther west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bumble Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Pretty good model agreement on some wintry appeal in our area heading into next weekend. Still a long way out, but at least this time we have Euro on board (for now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold air is real marginal, with temps in the mid to upper 30's, is just not gonna do it.

At least at lower elevations in WNY we probably won’t be able to accumulate until sunset which by that time the snow will be winding down and transitioning to lake effect well S and NE of the metro. If the lower elevations around Buffalo are lucky, we’ll see an inch on the grass by Monday morning... in ski country though I definitely could see a solid 6” or so on the highest hilltops of 2000’. At least we should have some flakes during the air on Sunday but that NAM model output is definitely smoking something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
