13" of snow since 2 am or so here in Phoenix. 17" for whole event. Not bad!

Yeah, we're really close to one another as I'm approaching 20" now, which makes NWS's 18-24", a good forecast and it's still accumulating, as by now I was expecting nuisance snows that wouldn't stick all day, but that hasn't been the case, if fact it's been the exact opposite.

FYI Detroit metro and many counties in eastern lower Michigan are under a WSW for 5 to 8 inches by midnight...food for thought regarding our potential accums tonight.

Problem is, the precip dies, once it moves into WNY and W-PA so I'm wondering how much actual precip can make it over here but I hope it translates eastward so we'll see.

It's quite the potent SW though...

It goes from a 5-8"er in So.MI but once into PA and WNY, totals drop off to half, so I guess with high ratios, a fresh coating of Snow may fall, then a short lived LES event ESE of LO. I'm thinking WNY does well, much more so than us Eastern LO folk, due to the proximity of where KBUF is, with regards to the SLP.

Extrapolating upstream radars shows that main precipitation field more or less missing us...You guys are quite optimistic.  That thing is diving nearly due southeast.   I could see Chataqua county grabbing a couple/three inches. Maybe a coating to an inch towards roc and virtually nothing east.

Looks like BUF calling for a quick moving band off L. Erie Friday afternoon/night.  Enjoy it while it lasts!

Things become more interesting again late Friday afternoon and
Friday night, as another clipper passes just north of Lake Ontario.
The clipper itself will bring some light snow to the region, with
accumulations less than an inch outside of lake enhanced areas. The
airmass remains plenty cold enough for lake effect snow as the
clipper passes by, and this will set the stage for significant lake
enhancement. Lake induced equilibrium levels will rise to about 15K
feet as the clipper passes by with improving moisture and cooling
temperatures aloft.

Off Lake Erie, expect a band of lake enhanced snow to intensify to
the north of Buffalo late Friday afternoon and early evening. This
band will then sweep rather quickly south across Buffalo Friday
evening, ending up in the western Southern Tier and weakening later
Friday night and early Saturday. The band may be quite strong as it
moves south across Buffalo, with high snowfall rates briefly. This
event may eventually need headlines, but the relatively fast band
motion may keep accumulations in the advisory range.

Also interesting disc for tonight's event for northern Wayne cty....

Lake effect snows have weakened this afternoon with the arrival of
drier air on the back side of the departing shortwave. Winds will
continue to diminish through this evening as a narrow ridge of high
pressure builds across the region. Diminishing winds may allow a
brief narrow convergent band of snow focused near northern Wayne and
Cayuga counties early this evening. Some mesoscale guidance hints at
this, with a quick couple inches from this not out of the question.

Meanwhile, a clipper low centered near Lake Michigan this afternoon
will race into western Pennsylvania late tonight. This will bring a
general light snow of an inch or two to locations south of Lake
Ontario. In addition to this, there will be some weak lake
enhancement which will lead to locally higher amounts. A convergent
band will develop across Lake Erie and eventually push onshore into
the Western Southern Tier late tonight. This combined with
slightly greater synoptic snows supports advisory amounts with
an additional 3 to 5 inches of snow expected tonight. Also,
locally higher amounts are possible southeast of Lake Ontario
when moisture from the clipper potentially enhances lingering
lake effect snow. A warning is already in effect for these
locations due to ongoing snows. Confidence is lower here, but a
narrow band of snow meeting advisory criteria is possible here
also.

Nice looking band for Friday night.  Looks like it will be a quick hitter but should be intense while it passes and in possibly hitting the metro for the PM commute... oh what a surprise even the computers are picking up on the freaking transition zone now...

FWIW those bands tend to drop quick 4-6" in a matter of hour so looking forward to it!
