Somehow that band has actually widened and intensified in the past 60-90 mins on radar. Just incredible frontogenetic forcing with great vertical velocities in the DGZ intersecting with a nearly ideal temperature profile for big rates.

It looks locked in place for at least another few hours.

How'd NWP do forecasting this, in that location?  Not well it appears.  I think it had something like this over CPA.

Snowing as hard now than any part of storm. This is getting frightening. Like being flooded in snow and trapped.

You’re at the pivot point. The sweet spot!! It’s the most impressive synoptic feature I’ve ever seen. Been obsessed with synoptic snow storms for 40 years. This takes the cake bro

Actually i believe SYR had 42 or 43" of synoptic. The lake effect drivel might have got it to 50.

Rochester stopped snowing at like 2am as the wind shifted NW. Syracuse continued to have mode snow until like 10am the next morning. Hours after every other station had ceased to report snow.
