Yes!!! I was waiting for those words!!! Ive been trying to stay  calm while this has been unfolding over the last few days but its getting tough!!! By early next week im am guessing that you will be hearing about a long duration LES event like you have just mentioned...this is also a good match for January of 85 (aka the blizzard of '85)...what a great look on the models and the ensembles agree...i wish there was a footlong weenie emoji!!!

Im honestly almost scared at how incredible this pattern looks to be unfolding. 

The GFS was ideal, the Euro was good but for wind direction it was more favorable for Nw/W flow as the PNA ridge is farther east then it was in the GFS. We want that ridge a couple hundred miles west on the Euro to get the best flow.

This has been the most quiet start to winter east of Mississippi on a long time. Usually when it breaks it breaks hard

Not really, it's only Nov 28th. 2013 and 2014 were good but the last 2, especially 2015 were terrible. 2016 was good for Rochester west terrible for WNY. Then we have the 2 terrible winters between 2011-2013.

You meant east right? Buffalo didn't get squat last November.

Yeah east. The 0Z GFS had meandering bands of LES from Thurs 12/7 to the end of its run Fri 12/15. Still so far out. Once we get to Sunday night I feel like we will have a much better idea of what happens late next week.

You guys are seriously looking at wind direction from 222hrs out? Some forecasters have a difficult time dealing with wind fluctuations from 24hrs out, and you guys are looking at a surface map, 9 days from now, smh.

We understand that and obviously we know that when were discussing it that things can and likely will change. This is a weather forum and discussing things even as silly as it might seem to you isn’t hurting anybody.

It seems a given that someone will get slammed in the upcoming pattern from like day 8/9 onward....pv just sites over Hudson Bay with way colder than normal air. 

 

 

And with a setup like that chances are high that a prevailing wsw wind will be the vector...that doesnt take much thinking to come to that conclusion.

 I don’t see any sustained flow with this upcoming pattern. I see meandering bands. But with that Atlantic blocking it allows those who get hit by sw flow to be a bit more excited than usual.

Going to be an agonizing next few days waiting for all the details to line up but loving the potential this is showing.  Guess flexing my vacation week from mid Nov to mid Dec is going to pay off.  

Same I’ll be off for 19 out of 31 days in december so I can’t wait to chase, or better yet if I can sit in my house by the fireplace and watch it roar outside!

Way out there, but how similar is this to the Dec 2001 upper level pattern?

It was already brought up by a poster from a couple days ago when mentioning similar patterns that produced long duration severe winter weather for the GL region...i would also harken back to 1985 as well...i believe all of erie county will see the lions share of this event, who gets the most is not relevant as we will all see good accums IF the pattern unfolds as it currently is.

Can't say those of us that sit east of ROC are thrilled with this setup, but definitely happy the pattern is finally changing with some staying power.

Don't concern yourself with such details. It's a given that the Tug and Watertown are gonna get the Lion Share with the flow it's showing, but we'll get ours too, as it's also a given.
