12Z NAM spits out 0.99” LE at KSYR between hours 48 - 84.  KROC 0.55 and KALB 0.59”...

GFS is 0.78” KSYR  0.69” KROC, 0.80” KALB...light accum after hr 84 at SYR and ROC.

Not wildly different...

What are your thoughts on ratios? I know you and Freak are usually dialed in on temp profiles. These long duration, moderate rate, Spring things are hard to accumulate. Especially from the public’s perspective. Roc has had a lot of measured snow over the last 5 days but I doubt the ave person would believe it.

I'm thinking ratios are 10:1 in general but yeah...accumulating depth is hard with a slow feed over days, and road impacts are lessened at this point cuz... March Sun!

Morning AFD

 WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
For western and north central NY, this next weather system bears a
strong resemblance to the last long-duration event from this past
Wednesday evening through Saturday morning. This will result in an
extended period of mostly light snow on Tuesday and Wednesday with
steadier snows east of the lakes due to upsloping and lake
enhancement. Two-day storm totals may approach a foot in some of
these locations, but for the most part 12 and 24 hour totals appear
to fall into the advisory category. Keep in mind that although this
is a similar set up, subtle variations in timing, location, and wind
direction may result in different snowfall amounts for any given
location. Now for the details...

On Tuesday an inverted trough will extend from a strong coastal low
westward to a closed 500 mb low which will be across the Lower Great
Lakes. This trough axis will gradually drop southward across western
New York Tuesday with increasing moisture and snow showers.
Steadiest snows will be east of Rochester where a general 1-3 inches
of snow is expected during the day.

Northwesterly winds will increase Tuesday night and Wednesday, with
increasing moisture from the coastal low. Wrap around moisture,
northwesterly upslope flow, and some lake enhancement will result in
periods of snow showers, which will have the most accumulating power
across the higher terrain east of Lake Erie and on the Tug Hill. One
subtle difference with this storm system compared to the last, is
temperatures should run a couple of degrees cooler, which could
support a little better lower elevation accumulation, although
accumulations will still be somewhat limited during the day
Wednesday with the high March sun angle.

Slightly drier air will build in from the west with a narrow ridge
axis, with snow becoming less widespread from west to east. Snow
showers will last most of the night east of Lake Ontario where
moisture will continue to be ample and where upsloping and lake
enhancement will continue..

I must be looking at the wrong naps then, as I don't see anything impressive about either the NAM or it's counterpart, the GFS so what am I missing? In fact, we get just as much precip as they do in NE, the difference being, theirs comes in 12hrs and ours in 36. Lemme know if I'm missing something.

That pretty much sums it up.  We seem to get quasi-constant winter up here with brief breaks. Others get a day of glory once in a while then back to 40s.  Would be nice to get a respectable dump more often but winter here is a different beast.

At some point BING is gonna have to take that 1.25-1.5” consistently being painted just south of Syr. Somebody is gonna do well. North side of Skaneattles always does well. Anyone from that micro climate?

I'm about 4 miles north of the village of Skaneateles. We'll see how it goes - can be hit or miss here by just a few miles sometimes.

All of western ny north of 5 and 20 should be in a winter storm watch

Here's the 3km Snow clown thru hr 60.  Problems are: 1) its the NAM, 2) its an off hr run (18Z), 3) KBGM & KBUF AFDs have six different reasons why this won't materialize that don't include 1 or 2.  ;) Other than on a few hilltops somewhere in CNY.  So basically, this is just a big oh-never-mind event.nam3km_asnow_us_61.png

So you're telling me there's a chance??
