Sorry for the OT, but I'm pretty sure someone in here mentioned buying a Tundra a few months ago.  Curious how you liked it so far?

On my 2nd Tundra. Had a 2007 and then bought a 2017. Love the super reliability and resale value. Archaic design but in shop almost zero. One pet peeve is no all-time 4wd. Do not drive Tundra for prolonged periods of time in 4wd high without snow/ice as it binds while trying to turn. Pisses me off that they offer all time 4wd in 4Runner limited model and Sequoia trims but not Tundra. Reliability and resale was enough to buy another one. Good luck!

Appreciate it!!  I have had a few 4runners and love them!  Always handle the snow like a champ.  I do love the 4wd system in the runner, locking center diff as well. Starting to look at trucks and naturally the Tundra is high on my list.  Not as refined interior as the gm products, but seem much better resale and reliability as mentioned.  Thanks again!

Another thing is during tomorrows diurnal changes there's a chance the band goes cellular for a bit limiting accumulations in any one area.  I mean it is March 6th, with a strong sun angle its gonna be real hard for snow to accum on pavement especially the roads which I guess is a good thing.

I remember a band in April either in 93 or 94 that closed schools and dropped ten inches in Auburn so it can happen albeit rare.

Nice read from aft Disco from KBGM, 30-1" ratios!!

WSW winds shift WNW this evening behind the
frontal boundary, mainly 7-15 mph. Lake effect still looks on
track to begin affecting the northern portion of the forecast
area around midnight tonight...latest hi-res guidance is honing
in on a period of potential locally heavy snow between about 1
AM and 8 AM across north-central Onondaga county down into
central Madison county; snow rates could easily be 1-3" per
hour at times in this area. With the very cold temperatures,
deep layer moisture (up to 700mb or 10k ft agl) and strong lift
within the snow growth zone am expecting very high snow to
liquid ratios, on the order of 20 to even 30:1.

Mid to late morning the snow band looks to shift off to the
southwest a bit as the flow veers more northwesterly behind the
departing shortwave trough. Latest indications are the band
would work its way back into central Cayuga county, southwest
Onondaga, eastern Seneca and northern Cortland counties for a
time Wednesday morning. Snow rates would likely be lower, with a
shorter fetch over Lake Ontario, perhaps 1/2 - 1" per hour type
snow here. As heights rise and a hint of upper level ridging
approaches from the west the lake effect snow band is then
forecast to lift back north over Onondaga and Madison counties
later Wednesday afternoon and evening, on a 290 flow. Snow rates
could again pick back up, perhaps 1-2" per hour once again
locally. Another issues will be increasing northwest winds,
between 10-20 mph, with gusts 25-30 mph will cause areas of
blowing and drifting snow.
