I mean what’s the fun of a big storm only to have it wash down the drain 2 days later? That’s no different than winning 30k on a bet and it’s gone 3 hours later

Both Dec 2001 and Nov 2014 melted within a week after. I would take those 2 events over anything else I've experienced here in winter. I just want enough snow to cross country ski/hike in. Other than that I do not care how much is on the ground. Rather I care about big LES events with high snowfall rates.

Couple opportunities next week..

The next upper level trough and associated cold front is expected to
track across the Great Lakes Sunday. The trough will sharpen over
the Great Lakes by late Sunday, with the cold front reaching the
eastern Great Lakes in the afternoon. This will bring increasing
clouds and a chance of a few rain showers, especially in the
afternoon.

Behind the cold front Sunday, cold advection will bring a return to
below normal temperatures Sunday night and Monday. WNW flow and wrap
around moisture may support some broad lake effect rain and snow
showers Sunday night through Monday morning, especially southeast of
the lakes.

Forecast uncertainty increases somewhat by Monday afternoon and
Tuesday. A wave of low pressure and mid level trough pass to the
north across Canada Monday evening into Tuesday. The ECMWF and
Global GEM are stronger and farther south with this feature than the
flat wave depicted by the GFS. If the stronger solutions verify, a
fresh batch of cold air would arrive later Monday into Tuesday with
a few more lake effect rain and snow showers east and southeast of
the lakes. For now, kept low chance POPS through this period.

My parents called last night, saying they heard "we could get a foot of snow" on Friday. I told them there was no way it was going to happen. They live in PA. I have lived in the Great Lakes weather zones long enough to know how these things generally work. As of this evening, looks like it just misses Syracuse to the south.

I even told myself I was NOT going to check things out this week and see what happens...I couldn't wait...lol...and even though I'm not at all surprised it's looking meh for here, I'm still shocked...haha. Good prep for winter.
