Check out the 06z GFS Cobb snowfall data, it has KIAG,KBUF and KROC getting over foot of snow for Tues-Wed and another 6"+ later on with the Thurs-Fri system!!

New Run gives roc 14 inches for mid week lake snow. 25 to 30 to 1 ratios

That map is so overdone south of Buffalo. They are way too broad brushed with their maps. I am not going to see 6-8” from this and neither is the city of Buffalo itself.... I’ll be lucky to see a couple flakes from the lake effect as it looks to initially set up over Hanburg and Orchard Park and then quickly shift south to the Boston Hills then even further south... this pattern has been absolutely horrific for us in Buffalo, Lackawanna, West Seneca, Lancaster... to our north and south several inches (in some cases well over a foot and a half of snow) while we have totally green grass, and this lake effect event looks no different. Then if we’re lucky we might catch a couple inches of 25:1 fluff from that synoptic storm that will go poof as soon as the sun hits it even at 20 degrees... give me sunny and 60 if it’s gonna be like this crap. 

Way to generous with that northern cutoff on their past two maps.  Feeling 1-2" for the metro, WS, SB... 2-6" Hamburg, OP, EA.  6-12+ Dunkirk, Angola, to Springville.

Nice look from the sky.  Can see the snow cover for the north and south and the wedge of sorrow in the middle.

I call that the "Transition" zone, that **** been happening for years now..LES bands literally zoom right through that area lol and then either just stall north or south of that area

This Clipper that's moving through So MI and No IN is gonna over produce, I just have this feeling. Gotta say, it looks good synoptically speaking with jet induced dynamics as well. I'm not saying its gonna drop 8" but I can definitely see 2-4" with higher elevations getting perhaps to 6". Do I think it veers the winds enough to get the Erie band into the city and the Southtowns, yeah I do, but that's just me, lol, as it really depends on how strong this SW gets as it already looks stronger than it did on models this time yesterday.

Just looked at the 12Z GFS, WOW what a run if it actually came to fruition. As far as the System for Tuesday into Wednesday, I'm more afraid of the SW dropping further South (Image below) but right now Models are in fairly good agreement and I cant see a 400 mile shift to the South lke to the Delmarva so I'm not that concerned.

Inch of precip in roc from event on euro. 20 to 30 to 1 ratios you do the math

Tim, its extremely difficult to get 20-30/1" but  ot impossible. Temps of 27 to 34F will give a ratio of 10/1", 20-27 will give 15/1", 15-19F will give 20/1" and finally between 10-14F will get you to 30/1" but I don't see temps getting that low during either the synoptic event or the LE/LES to follow but those numbers are a good rule of thumb to follow. Wed, if we manage to stay in the upper teens like some models have us getting to, then we may see those ratios but other than Wed, I see the most 15-18/1" which is still a very dry snow wich accumulates at a very fast rate especially if the snow flake producing elements are there thermodynamically and I think this will be the case for the mid week event, especially after the AF passes through and the LE kicks in, gonna be a good week for everyone!

I must be a moron.  This was a poor run for the Ontario South shore. The NWS is gonna have to completely rely on the trailing trough to give Roc headlines. The majority of event will be upslope (Buf ski country) and westerly winds. And it IS a trend. Each run the surface low depicted  25 miles north of previous. 

Ill happily be wrong. Look, it's a rough start to the snow season and I'm cranky. 

On a different note, Buf south town's, including Hamburg, look super interesting tomorrow!!

Warnings up... NWS snow map looks MUCH better now.  Well better in the sense of verification... Looks like my green lawn is here to stay...

I wouldn’t exaggerate what northtown locations got. In NE Buffalo we had maybe 4” from Wed-Fri, and Williamsville and Amherst had at most an inch or two on top of that. Kenmore and Tonawanda looked pretty bare. As you know, a few inches of snow after forecasts called for a multi day monster on a great flow is not a consolation.

 

And I see BUF has knocked the city/north down to 1-2 inches. The epic shafting continues.

Latest run of NAM/RGEM has it over Buffalo southtowns for quite a few hours. So close for the Bills game Delta.

Yeah 18z runs shifted quite a few miles north for tomorrow.  Almost back where they had them 2 days ago right over Hamburg and OP... Timing looks like it will be just as the game is ending but close enough that it could sneak in there...  Let 'er rip!

I've been afraid to even post something for fear of jinxing it, and I'm not a superstitious guy haha.  Orchard park appears to be on the absolute edge of some potentially very heavy snow....this could be the one.  The NAM's wind profile looks like nearly a slam dunk to me but thats just me cherry picking the best model for this scenario.  Deep dendritic growth, high EQ, good moisture, and the timing is nearly perfect with it moving into OP right around noon.  There is a bit of shear but its not as bad as earlier this week.

Looks good tomorrow with latest guidance.

By early to mid afternoon, boundary layer flow will back to the WSW and become better aligned again. This should allow a band of snow to intensify along the Lake Erie shore. This band may initially focus on the Chautauqua and southern Erie County shorelines, but should then move up into the more distant Buffalo Southtowns for a few hours from mid afternoon through early evening, with a band of heavy snow running from Angola to Hamburg and East Aurora, and extending inland across Wyoming County. Snowfall rates may increase to 1-2 inches per hour during this time frame.

This band of heavy lake effect snow will then drift slowly southward across Southern Erie and Wyoming counties Sunday evening with snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour, then move farther south back into the western Southern Tier overnight. Flow will become northwest with shear rapidly increasing by early Monday morning, with any remaining lake effect quickly weakening across the western Southern Tier. Expect total accumulations of 8-12 inches in the most persistent bands across Southern Erie and western Wyoming counties, extending into northern/western Chautauqua County and northwest Cattaraugus County. Some local amounts of over a foot are possible in the Boston Hills and possibly the southern portions of the more distant Buffalo Southtowns. This is in a similar area to the previous event.
