  counties.

* WHEN...From 7 PM Thursday to 1 PM EST Friday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The
  hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening
  commute.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Periods of snow, sleet or freezing rain will result in slippery

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
325 PM Update...A complex, early winter storm is still on track
to affect our forecast area by late tomorrow afternoon through
Friday morning. Thermal profiles, and temporal changes of the
airmasses passing through parts of our forecast area are the
main challenges to this forecast leading to considerable
uncertainty in precipitation type and snow/sleet and ice
accumulations. The most confident areas for changeover to sleet
and freezing rain remain over our southern zones as the warm
conveyor wraps into the deepening cyclone. After an initial
burst of warm advection snow, the changing precip types will
tend to limit accumulations from the Wyoming Valley to the
Poconos and Catskills.

Further north and west...model blends do suggest some warm air
intruding aloft, but also suggest that dynamic cooling will
overcome the advective properties of this system as it pulls
away on Friday morning. We expect that much of CNY,
particularly the Finger Lakes Region to southern Tug Hill, will
remain mainly snow with varying intensity. The heaviest snowfall
could come later Thursday night into early Friday morning. Snow
amount solutions are all over the place depending on the warm
layer and resulting snow-liquid ratios that fluctuate throughout
the entire event. The Canadian GEM and ECMWF models would blitz
our area under warning criteria snow, and then some. The warm
intrusion on the NAM is stronger and further north, while the
GFS is holding the precip shield closest to the coastal low.
Given this uncertainty, we have continued the Watch as previously
issued, and expanded it throughout the rest of CNY and the
northern Tier PA. Ensemble precip-type probabilities are also of
little help to pinpoint the scenario at this time. Continuing
to highlight the potential, but not certainty, of excessive snow
accumulations is prudent at this time. What is reasonably
confident to say is that we will see a wintry storm system
affecting our area Thursday into Friday with areas of slippery
and hazardous travel almost a guarantee. Later forecasts will
be adjusted to pin down the snow accumulations.

Temperatures colder than normal, but rising toward 40 again on
Friday. Any lingering precipitation through Friday night will be
scattered in nature and mainly focused on the downwind lake
effect tracks from Lake Ontario. Right now, the lake generated
instability does not seem to be enough for significant snows
into Friday evening. This may settle out for the weekend as the
air chills.

YYZ   3", I forgot to include Toronto

Toronto/GTA is in a weird geographical spot for the boards. Not enough Canadian members to create our own subforum, so kind of split between this one and great lakes. Though climate wise and weather impact wise, have a lot more in common with Upstate/Eastern NY since GTA is only 60 miles from WNY and hundreds of miles from Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Missouri ect..

It stinks to know we will have a favorable wind direction after this storm only for it to rain lol Could be a decent amount of it as well..

Lake effect rain for Buffalo after they get little to nothing from this storm due to thermal profile issues. I'm going 1-3" for the Buffalo and surrounding suburbs.

Could be interesting... all the meso have surface temps 32-35... if we end up getting a snowpack from this storm maybe it can nudge temps just low enough for snow vs rain. Either way looks to be a short lived swing through and push on shore setup... Still the active pattern continues!

Congrats to all who picked up some snow so far this week.  This is the time of year I knew I would be second guessing our recent move.  We moved from the Cheek/Amherst border, west of the airport, to a couple miles north to Snyder.  Probably lost about 10" of seasonal accumulation in just that amount of move!  

It was definitely a consideration to move south to get into the snow belt, but at the end of the day I couldn't justify the extra commute time for both me and my wife.  It's also a much easier decision in the summer when my thoughts are squarely on sun, paddle boarding, and golf...not lake effect snow.  All good though - love the house and the neighborhood.  I'll just have to keep honing my chasing skills!

I graduated from Cleveland Hill and lived right next to Snyder. Where do you work? I can get anywhere from the city to Cheektowaga from here in 15-20 mins. I'll have a place soon big enough for the chasers to setup shop! =)
