They'll wait for the ecmwf and for the normal 4 pm package id think. I think Monroe to Oswego county is a given. Erie and Niagara is still more on the fence. 

OSU im nowhere near your level of expertise, but given where I live in Williamsville close to Clarence, I can say with good confidence that lake enhancement off Ontario makes it to me quite frequently but models NEVER pick up on it. They stop right at the Niagara/Erie border like there's a magic wall there. The storm in November was a perfect example of this as we bested the amount we were forecast by 3 or 4 inches due to the enhancement. I think N. Erie is going to overachieve again.

Hancock field had 31 degrees as of noon but downtown i don't see any ice forming on cars, signs, in the steady drizzle, so perhaps the urban heat island is helping us avoid frozen windshield wipers.  For now...

I’m sure downtown is a couple degrees warmer than the airport plus solar radiation is starting to become more significant since we’re a week into February.

Yeah it's funny because the gfs looked great couple days ago and the NAM yesterday, both abandoned ship lol

Hey everyone.  Haven't been posting a ton, lots of life going on.

This event looks great for most of Upstate.... my largest concern for big snow totals is if there is a ton of convection to the east of the storm track... will it rob some of the moisture being thrown back into the frontogenical forcing?....

I hope we get there, but gotta say the seasonal trend of fast flow, sheared storms zipping along fronts, and lack of wraparound snow worries me. I say that just from what we’ve seen for weeks on end, this storm I’m sure has more going for it. Although if I was just looking at the current radar and surface maps I wouldn’t be too excited for WNY...

Pay no mind to me though, I was walking along the beach in Jupiter, FL this morning (business trip) with temps in low 80’s and full sun...I’m having a hard time processing the walk to a snow/ice covered car at the airport in a couple hours.
